Meal Planning Monday 20th August 2012

Sunday - Busy afternoon planned so easy peasy pasta with garlic and pesto sauce, mushrooms and bacon.

Monday - My Mummmys Chicken Curry, check out my blog post for the recipe.

Tuesday - I'm working and Lovely Hubby is Cherubsitting. Seeing as I'll just have myself to get ready I'm going to do a beef stroganoff in the crockpot. I'll put it all together before work and it'll be ready when I get home. Means I can think up another job or ten for Lovely Hubby to tackle instead of dinner!

Wednesday - Lentil Dahl.

Thursday - Grilled chicken, roast potatoes (in our magic potato roasting machine) and curried mushrooms. the curried mushrooms are Lovely Hubbies speciality so seeing as I'm working today he can do dinner!

Friday - Pasta, probably be the same mix as Sunday

Saturday - We're really enjoying our grilled pesto chicken so I'll make this tonight and serve with potatoes and veg.

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.

Chicken Curry Recipe...Warning it's Hot Hot Hot!

Instead of posting inane jibbering and/or pictures I thought I would attempt a useful blog post today.

As mentioned in my Monday Meal Planner I made My Mums awesome Chicken Curry last week. My mum has been making it for as long as I can remember. She got the recipe from an old friend and neighbor. It has probably evolved quite considerably since she first started making it 30ish years ago! Funny if Darling Daughter and Second Born Son were both making it still 30 years from now!!

Now I will warn you we are a family who like our spicy food. My grandad would put brown sauce on everything my granny made him. In true grandad style but with a modern twist we add jalapeños, cayenne pepper or kataya sauce to everything.

If you choose to have a go at this curry be aware it will make

• Your nose run
• Your eyes sweat
• And most of all your bum burn!!!!!
