#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 12th November 2012

This week I am on the early finishes at work so there isn't such a stress to be super organised but I've still tried to pick simple and hopefully a little healthy.

Dusting of a few old faithfuls this week. Two in fact, both of which are Lovely Hubby specials. He is an awesome cook but not the healthiest cook! Will need to up the exercise this week to balance it out!

Again I've not really planned what days we are having what but one way or another we will be eating ...

• spicy butternut squash (pumpkin in our case) soup from last weeks Meal Plan. We didn't get round to having this as the Chick Peaans Butternut Squash (pumpkin in our case) lasted two nights.
• fillet steak, baked potato and corn on the cob. Expiry date dependent if there is a nice night this week this could be a barbecue meal! The forecast is not promising though
• Old faithful no. 1; Home made KFC style wraps. Lovely Hubby invented this when he was living here on his own. Clever boy! Some frozen breaded chicken chopped in a wrap, garnished with tomatoes, cucumber, cheese, jalapeños, sour cream, salsa and/or anything else you fancy. Yummers. I made him make this so many times when I moved over that he got sick of it but I wreckon it's been a year!
• Garlic prawns with jasmine rice and brocolli. The other week when we had spicy prawns I had baked potato with it and lovely hubby had rice. Whatta mistaka to maka! He par boiled the brocolli then fried it off in sesame oil. He then popped the cooked rice in with the brocolli and added a spot or three of sweet chilli sauce. Jealous!!!! So this is what we will be having with our prawns.
• Lentil Dahl. Easy, simple and healthy.
• Old faithful no.2; mushroom risotto. Lovely Hubby invented this after the first series of Hells Kitchen with Gordon Ramsay. They made mushroom risotto on the show, I expressed an interest in the dish and Lovely hubby went to work and came up with my fave dish! One of the courses in my last supper menu! Risotto rice, porcini mushrooms, asparagus, bacon, rocket, Parmesan, butter, wine put together in only a way Lovely Hubby knows how!
• Cheese Toasties.
