The first week back at work was pretty brutal, with lots of rushing around sorting out paperwork for passport applications and the life insurance money. I'm getting there, but it's a long job and there are only so many hours in the day ! I'm hoping for a calmer week this week, but just in case, I'll go for some simpler options. And breeeeeathe !
Monday
dinner - chicken & bacon pasta bake (with the addition of any leftover meat and veg from the Sunday roast)
Tuesday
dinner - pork chops, mash & veggies
Wednesday

I hope you have a calmer week too. Last week does sound like a busy one.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the Flammekueche. I've not heard of it before x
It's quick and simple to prepare and the kids love it, which makes it win-win !
DeleteYour meal plans always sound SO good - I love a nice cheese!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and thanks for linking up x
I love the variety and also your plans for using up leftovers rather than letting them go to the landfills. I have taken much inspiration for the meal plans ahead.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how you get on ! xx
Deletethe tartiflette looks lovely, i need to be more adventurous with cooking
ReplyDeleteTartiflette and flammekueche sound like great simple ideas I could steal. Simpler to make than to type, I suspect! I never thimtto make French food probably because I think it's going to be complicated. Clearly I am wrong!!!

They're so easy to prepare and the kids love them, so we're all happy ! In fact, I was asked to move the tartiflette up to Monday as everyone couldn't wait to eat it !! lol
DeleteHope you have a less stressful week. I'd love my guys to eat a more varied diet, but all Eddie wants for dinner is pasta or tacos.
ReplyDeleteWell, there's nothing wrong with tacos and pasta ! In our house, a lot of it comes from having three kids - they all get to give me ideas of what they want to eat, and usually all like each other's ideas, which is handy !
Deletewow some amazing meals love the baked potato one sounds my sort of dinner will be checking that out x
ReplyDeleteIf you can't get reblochon, any kind of soft, stinky cheese will do ! :)
DeleteTartiflette looks great
ReplyDeleteYour week sounds delicious, I'm with you though on the hectic week, hoping your week calms down!
