Meal Planning Monday; 26th August 2013

Happy bank holiday! I've had a lovely day today with my morning spent baby free food shopping and lunch with my mum followed by a nice family afternoon walk in the woods after Bubbah finally had his nap. While hubby is cocooned off with his dad watching football I'm curled up in the living room with some cloudy lemonade, hot chocolate (I couldn't choose!) and Benefits Britain 1949.

Quick side note; has anyone been watching Benefits Britain 1949? I've genuinely been fascinated, humbled and annoyed with every episode. I think Channel 4 has genuinely struck a decent balance between making a point and providing something interesting. Let me know what you think!

This week is a quiet week, getting things back to normal as school terms start and all the summer programmes Bubbah and I have been enjoying over the last few months finish up. A trip to the children's centre for one last play session and a library visit are in order, but otherwise a quiet week with lots of cooking/baking included.


A pretty basic meal plan this week as it's the week before pay day but yummy nonetheless...

  • Monday - peppercorn kievs with cheesy potato and bacon bake (all from the reduces/whoopsie aisle when I went shopping this morning) and cauliflower. Also found some choux buns in said aisle so we had those as a treat.
  • Tuesday - I'm out all day so hubby will be having curry from a batch I made last week (recipe to follow) and I'll have tuna pasta bake when I get back
  • Wednesday - I'm out again so hubby will have veggie fingers with sweet potato wedges
  • Thursday - I'll be making quiche Lorraine for me and Bubbah and tomato and mushroom quiche for hubby which I'll serve with sweet potato wedges
  • Friday - a friend lent me one of Lorraine Pascale's books and I've been making stuffed crust pizzas using the pizza base recipe in it with a meaty one for me and a veg loaded one for hubby.
  • Saturday - lasagne
  • Sunday - toad in the hole with roasties, veg and stuffing.
And that's our week. For more meal plan inspiration head on over to Mrs M.
