Meal Planning Monday 7th August 2012



Sunday - Steak Sarnie a la Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals cook book. Sunday has been and gone, we had it and it was awesome. I don't do the full meal from the cook book just the sandwich and a salad from the same book but different meal. I can't remember the name of it (and I am too lazy to get up off my butt and find it) bu it consists of spinach, sundries tomatoes, pine nuts, cucumber, oil, balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. It's yummers.
Monday - Prawns done with some curry paste, rice and some broccoli on the side. Last time I had this kind off thing I just used a jar of paste this time I am using Mummysknees recipe (cheers chum).
Tuesday - Grilled chicken with pesto, roast potatoes, carrot mash and some broccoli on the side.
Wednesday - I'm going to try a new chilli recipe. It's from the Food in a Minute Website. It can be done in the slow cooker so I'll try doing it that way.
Thursday - I'm working today so we'll have pasta for tea tonight. Nice and easy!
Friday - All going well I will be out for dinner on Friday so Lovely Hubby will have cheese toasties or gets pizza or something.
Saturday - Grilled chicken with chickpea curry. It's meant to be a vegetarian dish of just the chickpea curry but Lovely Hubby gets a bit nervous if there is no meat on the plate! The chickpea curry is so simple, the recipe is on the Countdown website.
Proof if proof was needed....my actual plan...
