My Weekly Menu including some Gluten Free Meal Ideas
School is back for us and its Term 4. The last term of school already. We went to the shops on the weekend and Christmas stock is starting to be put on the shelves and oh crikey, I have to think of Christmas soon. Actually now!
Weekly Menu Plan
Monday – Slow Cooker Risotto – this is Gluten Free if you use the right stock and I also add roasted pumpkin to it while cooking and then before serving I add sundried tomatoes. So so yummy.
Tuesday – Slow Cooker Sausage Casserole – even though I don’t eat this you can make it gluten free by using gluten free sausages.
Wednesday – Gluten Free Curried Tuna Slice with steamed veg
Thursday – Honey Mustard Chicken for the boys, I’ll pass on the chicken and use the sauce to make Honey Mustard Stir fry veg – really nice – and gluten free of course!
Friday – Pumpkin Soup with Gluten Free Rice Noodles Cakes on the side
Saturday – Homemade Gluten Free Battered Fish – will be trying the new Vitarium Batter Mix I bought and homemade potato wedges with salad
Sunday – Simple Supper Night
Linking up with other meal plans at Org Junkie.
Have a great week!

Lemonade Mouth Disney Movie DVD Review and Giveaway
My six old son isn’t that keen on sitting and watching movies. Sure it’s a good thing that he always wants to kick the football or play cricket (except when it’s in the house!) but it makes it hard for me to start a family movie session tradition.
When the offer come up to do a review on Lemonade Mouth I was excited because the only movie he really did like was High School Musical because it had music in it and zero violence. I thought this would be perfect to get him watching movies.
When I asked him if it wanted to watch a Disney movie with me, he said no. Then I told him about it. He said no. Then I said we can watch it with popcorn and lemonade.
He thought about it …and said yes.
Ah I finally figured out the way to get him to watch movies – food!
We sat down and watched the movie together, complete with snacks and after it finished I asked him what he thought. “It was good,” was his professional opinion and believe me, coming from him, that is a high compliment indeed.
I also enjoyed it. It revolved around 5 high school kids starting a band. They each have their own circumstances to deal with as well as being an outcast at school. But with all Disney movies, they work through them. They make some good music too and had my son singing them at the end.
I definitely recommend Lemonade Mouth for a good old fashioned family movie. My son thoroughly enjoyed so I think it’s good for 4+ age group. Even your 10 year old will like it. It is rated G and there is no scary scenes or violence of any kind.
It will be released on DVD 1st June 2011. RRP $34.95
I also have one Lemonade Mouth DVD to giveaway – yay!

Lest We Forget
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Sound of Music | Central Station Antwerp (Belgium)
This video was made in the Antwerp , Belgium Central (Train) Station on the 23rd of March 2009.
With no warning to the passengers passing through the station,
at 08:00 am a recording of Julie Andrews singing ‘Do, Re, Mi’ begins to play on the public address system.
As the bemused passengers watch in amazement, some 200 dancers begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances.
They created this amazing stunt with just two rehearsals!

No Menu Plan Monday
Nope – no Menu Plan again for this week. I am feeling run down and tired and have a million other things I have to try and do this week and no idea of when I will fit them in, especially since I feel so ill.
Feezer meals for us this week – thank goodness for a stocked freezer!
See you next week.

No Menu Plan Monday
Monday is usually when I post my menu plan for the week. I am having a well earned break I think from it this week. Not just the posting but the actual Menu Plan as well.
I still have a fridge full of leftovers and it is my birthday today. I also have my folks visiting for the week and well, dinners are not so easily planned.
I will be back next week with a menu plan but for once, it is nice not to have to worry about it.
