This is the last week at school - yay ! - so I'll need to start thinking up lunches as well as evening meals soon. It's also incredibly hot so I'm planning nibbly things out of the freezer that require minimum cooking and can be changed at the last minute because nobody really wants big meals in this heat. Yesterday, I'd planned a Sunday roast but in the end, we had melon followed by grilled sausages and salads, as requested by the kids !
Monday
lunch - leftover cooked sausages, peppers, onions, mushrooms, all chopped up, stir fried together and served with rice
dinner - grilled salmon for me, chicken strips for the kids, with boiled potatoes and green beans
Tuesday
lunch - school canteen
dinner - I need something quick because the teachers are having farewell drinks for those moving on to a new school - there's a Hawaiian pizza in the freezer (Juliette's favourite) which will be perfect, and the kids can even cook it themselves before I get home if they're too hungry !

Ahh! We have an easy week of meals planned too. It's far too hot to spend a lot of time cooking!
ReplyDeleteI hope you all have a great last week at school. We still have 3 weeks left. Ugh! We're ready for the holidays now.
Fab meal plan x
I've just started meal planning, saves a fair few quid plus less waste.
ReplyDeleteGreat meal planning and the new sounds good
