What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 2

 


Last week was a great week in terms of food. We totally stuck to the plan (apart from when we were using up leftovers instead of cooking a new meal), ate loads of new dishes and everyone liked everything (including homemade coleslaw and frozen peas ... the kids usually turn their noses up at both !). Maybe they've hit that stage (every seven years, I think?) where their tastes change. Hmmm I'll have to work through loads of different vegetables again and see what appeals ! Right, on to this week's plan ...

Monday

lunch- Chicken Gyros (this is the recipe but I use pre-spiced meat from the supermarket) with rice & salad (Pierre can have a beefburger as he doesn't like the marinade)

dinner - pork meatballs with pasta and whatever veg is to hand (red & yellow peppers, onions, mushrooms, not sure what else) (The kids can use up the leftovers tomorrow for lunch.)

Tuesday

dinner- Tacos (as we didn't have them last week in the end)

Wednesday

lunch- beefburgers & chips

dinner- cannelloni

Thursday

lunch - I'm thinking there will be leftovers to use up

dinner- Pork chops with cream & mushrooms, mash & veg (carrots? Thinking about it, Sophie grabbed a load of courgettes and promised to make a courgette gratin so she can do that !)

Friday

dinner - Chinese chicken with veg & noodles (I'll be honest, the chicken and veg are frozen in a bag - we'll see what it's like. Adding noodles and loads of soy sauce should make it nice anyway !)

Saturday

lunch- spaghetti bolognese

dinner- Tartiflette - baked potatoes, onions and bacon, topped with stinky reblochon cheese and thrown in the oven

Sunday 

lunch- roast dinner, with whatever I pick up at the supermarket

dinner- Chicken spring rolls
