I ended up buying way too much food last week - I'm adjusting to being one family member down, now that Sophie is off at college and it does make a big difference ! - so I haven't actually gone shopping for this week's food yet. I may even make it through the week without topping up if I'm lucky. We're settling back into a routine with Pierre coming home for lunch rather than going for school dinners so I need to keep leftovers in the fridge for the kids.
Monday
Tuesday
dinner - sausages, mash & beans

lunch - spaghetti carbonara
dinner - I have a marrow that was given to me but I don't know what to do with it - any suggestions? So far, I'm planning on a stuffed marrow bake (the kids can always opt for leftovers if they hate it !)

I bought too much food too. I was so used to feeding the kids during the day over the summer. lol
ReplyDeleteAhh! Sausage, mash and beans is such a fab meal. One of my favourites.
Great meal plan x
It takes a while to get back into routine ! I still have it in my brain that I'm cooking for five and now, we're just three so we often have way too much ! :-/
DeleteOoh I love the idea of a stuffed marrow bake - sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up and I hope you have a great week ahead x
Stuffed marrow is lovely, i was given one once, did a mince base and then a cheese sauce on top it was lovely but a lot of work hahaha
ReplyDeleteOoh cheese sauce - that sounds like a great addition :)
DeleteLovely of someone to give you a marrow but I find them very bland and watery. On the rare occasions I buy one, I either put it in a homemade mixed vegetable soup or I scoop out the centre, fry some mushrooms and onions, stuff the marrow with the mushroom mixture and throw over some cheesy breadcrumbs before baking.
ReplyDeleteCheesy breadcrumbs sounds like a great addition too :)
DeleteSounds delicious this week, I have never tried marrow before, how did it go?
ReplyDeleteUmm I'm not even sure it was a marrow - even the woman who gave it to me wasn't sure !! It was just like a giant courgette, in terms of taste and look, so it was OK but quite bland. The kids didn't like it, which was predictable ! I'll be blogging my recipe shortly :)
