#Meal Planning Monday 19th November 2012

I'm not feeling very inspired this week. This may reflect in my menu!

On the menu in The Simpson house this week in no particular order;

• Steak, baked potato and corn on the cob. We had this week, we all enjoyed it so much we decided to make it a weekly staple until we get bored of it! Although Lil' Sis' and Lovely Hubby said they would rather just have salad instead of baked potatoes! Crispy water ain't enough for me I'm afraid!
• Mums Chicken Curry. It's my late finish week this week so I made this on Sunday and popped it in the freezer ready to haul out when we fancy it! Clicks here for the recipe.
• Old faithful pasta, pesto and garlic sauce and veg (maybe asparagus if its in supermarket).
• Cheese Toasties, we never got round to having this last week.
• Homemade KFC style wraps, see what I mean here. We were meant to have these last week too but the risotto on last weeks plan lasted two nights and on Saturday we had Thai takeaway.

You may notice 5 meals where there should be 7! I am so uninspired I can't even manage 7 meals! BUT we will not starve! I just remembered we are going out for dinner on Wednesday and Lil' Sis' is rustling something up for us on Monday night!

Maybe I will get inspiration from some other blog meal plans.

Meal Planning Monday 3rd September 2012

Eeek ... Bit late this week! But a plan was made I just haven't had time to write it up yet. This working for a living business is somewhat time consuming!!!



Sunday - it was fathers day here in New Zealand so we went out for a big lunch so for dinner we just had cheese toasties. We use our panini press and Lovely Hubby packs them full with cheese (funnily enough!), ham and jalapeños!

Monday - it was my birthday on Tuesday so Lovely Hubby and I went out for tea on Monday. We went to a cool place called Valhallah. It has changed hands unsuccessfully many a time but the guise it has opened as most recently is as a Stone Grill! I fricking love it. A hot hot (super hot stone that takes hours to cool and that the kitchen staff need special gloves from the fire department to handle!) stone with a big hunk of raw meat that you chop up yourself and sear each piece as you want! As usual pig pants me finished Lovely Hubbies dinner too!

Tuesday - lovely hubby made one of my fave dinners for my birthday tea, pasta with steak and a blue cheese sauce. It's so tasty but it is so bad for you. He makes it with cooking cream, blue cheese, peppers/capsicums, and onion. This time he popped in some chickpeas too which were a great addition. For pudding we had ice cream cake. Ice cream cake on birthdays is now a Simpson family tradition ... Nom nom nom!

Wednesday - Lovely Hubby is in Auckland today for a meeting so I will have some Lentil Dahl ready for his return.

Thursday - I will be gyming after work so we will have normal, boring but tasty pasta and sauce when I get home.

Friday - we'll have baked potatoes with beans and cheese with Darling Daughter. I'm out for birthday drinkies with 'The Girls' later in the evening!

Saturday - the yummy Sweet Potato/Kumara Curry from last weeks meal plan with some prawns chucked in!



What is everyone else eating this week?

I'll try to be on time and linked up correctly next week!

Meal Planning Monday 13th August 2012

The plan this week is a wee bit like last week. I hate planning and writing the shopping list so I made Lovely Hubby do it this week ...

Sunday - Last night we had some yummy spicy prawns, stir fry veg, curried mushrooms and rice. Odd mix but yummy.

Monday - Pasta with mushrooms, bacon and creamy garlic and pesto sauce.

Tuesday - Grilled chicken with pesto, roast potatoes and some kind of veg. We had this last week and it was pretty tasty.

Wednesday - I made this chilli recipe last week. It's from the Food in a Minute Website. It was really tasy. I've got mince in the freezer so we'll have this again. I'll do it in the slow cooker and serve with baked tatties. Usually the chilli I make has peppers/capsicums in it to bulk it out but this recipe doesn't have them in it. Just as well really because in the winter here the price rockets ...

Thursday - I'm working today so we'll have pasta for tea tonight. Nice and easy!

Friday - Beans on toast!

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.

Last Weeks Meal Plan In Pictures

Here we have it. Last weeks Meal Planning Monday 7th August 2012 in pictures ...

I seem to have developed a bloggers obsession with taking pictures of everything just in case I want to blog about it! I thought I best put these food ones to good use. We had what can only be described as a 'Fancy' food week so I couldn't help myself but picture what I made.

You may note there are only 5 meals and yep siree bob there are 7 days in the week. If you noted this then you are what my Motber Dear would call a 'nit picker'!

You may also note if you are a die hard Notsosuperscottishmummy fan (yeah ok I'm pushing it with that idea but you never know) that the meals may not be exactly what I said they would be BUT again if that's the case then you are a 'nit picking menace'.

Tasy and easy meals. Jeezo if I can make them anyone can. If you want to see the full meal plan click here x
