Meal Planning Monday 27th August 2012

Some weeks meal planning is really simple but I stupidly asked for input form Lovely Hubby and Lil' Sis. I wish I hadn't! Lil' Sis just wanted the same things as last week! And everything I mentioned Lovely Hubby stuck his nose up. So I went in a strop and rather childishly proclaimed 'f@&k you both you can do the fecking meal planning'. Needless to say they didn't so I did it myself and didn't ask for their input. They'll eat what they are given!

Maaaaan I sound like my mother ha ha ha!



I am increasing my work load as of this week so I have tried to keep things as simple as possible! Things might get a bit repetitive but needs must!




Sunday - We spent the day in Wellington so we treated ourselves and The Cherubs to dinner out. We went to a cute little pizza place called One Red Dog. It was great. We don't go out much so I was nervous about asking them to heat Archie's milk and purée but they were so cool about it. I just remember when I asked in the U.K for people to do the same for Maisie some people were so awkward about it. As well as great service the food was great.  I had mussels to start and calzone for main. Yum yum!



Monday - Thai Green Prawn Curry with rice and broccoli. First day working in a new place and working till 6pm so need it to be simple.



Tuesday - Grilled chicken, roast potatoes and curried mushrooms. I know we had that last week but it is so good and easy. And we all love it.



Wednesday - Sweet Potato Curry. A veggie curry my chum from Mummysknee blogged about as a guest blog for At Home With Mrs M? It looks like just my cup of tea or perhaps I should say just my bowl of curry! I do however think I will need to add some kind of meat to keep Lovely Hubby happy.



Thursday - Good old meal planning regular ... pasta with creamy garlic and pesto sauce, bacon and some kind of veg.



Friday - Not sure about today, will rustle something up with what we have.



Saturday - Cherry Tomato Pasta, a Gino D'Acampo recipe I believe. It's been a while since we have had it but I'll give it a whirl.



Whats on the menu with you guys?

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...
