On to week two of the school holidays ! Last week was a week full of salads and I was surprised to see that the kids really got into them too, so I'll be trying to get some more of those into the week's menu plan, especially as they're a great way of using up leftovers and dead easy to throw together !
Saturday
lunch - maybe McDonalds as we haven't been for a couple of weeks - the kids can play in the soft play, then Pierre's off to his first ever birthday party !
dinner - Creamy Salmon Romanesco Broccoli Bake - I've found a recipe I like the sound of so fingers crossed it comes out nice !
Sunday
lunch - This week, we're off to a friend's house to celebrate his birthday. I have no idea what we're eating but I would guess at a barbecue.
dinner - we'll still be stuffed from lunchtime
Monday
lunch - Spaghetti Carbonara with Leeks, Bacon, Mushrooms, Crème Fraîche & Cheese - and maybe a side salad to make it a bit more diet friendly !
dinner - Chicken & Veg Biryani
Tuesday
lunch - Pork Chops with Apple & Cranberry Stuffing and Mushroom, Pea & Onion Risotto
dinner - a salad of some decription - maybe just lettuce, tomatoes & cucumber topped with crispy bacon, mushrooms & onions - we've started getting beautifully fresh eggs from one of Madhouse Daddy's colleagues (the yolks are so yellow !) so I might boil and slice some of those too
Wednesday
lunch - fishfingers with spicy potatoes wedges and baked beans
dinner - slow-cooked Chicken Chasseur with mash
Thursday
lunch - spicy kofta meatballs with couscous (hopefully with raisins or apricots this time, if Madhouse Daddy found them in the supermarket !)
dinner - puff-pastry sausagemeat parcels with salad
Friday
lunch - Spanish chicken with rice or boiled baby potatoes
dinner - I have an idea for homemade bread layered with different savoury ingredients like goats' cheese, cherry tomatoes and olives before being baked - not entirely sure how it'll work out yet because it will depend partly on what's in the fridge by the end of the week !
The salmon and brocolli bake sounds great!
ReplyDeleteOhh all sounds fab!!
ReplyDeleteLoving this weeks selection, good old mix there.
ReplyDeleteFab menu! Have you tried making a tear and share? Make the dough as normal, roll it out square and put your filling across the top, a bit like a pizza. I like spreading cheese, ham and pineapple. Or roasted vegetables and basil (that sort of thing) You then roll it up, like a Swiss roll. Then cut into slices. Put them cut side down into a round cake tin. Leave it to prove for the second time, then bake. Delicious! The fillings are endless.
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the sound of that - definitely one to try, thanks for sharing :)
