I've just checked through the menu plan and we ate most of it as planned, until Saturday night when Juliette asked if we could have burgers and chips instead of tartiflette - I think she's missing our Saturday trips to town with lunch at McDonald's ! (To be fair, they had been on the plan earlier in the week, but got bumped as we had leftovers to use up.) I must admit, I've got into the routine of planning lunch for Saturdays too now so I don't know if we'll go back to burgers or not once coronavirus has packed its bags and restaurants open up again. We'll see ! So, on to this week ... Juliette's on a "lessons at home" week this week. It's hard keeping track of who's eating where !
Monday
lunch- leftover cooked chicken, pasta, onions, mushrooms, peppers (it's basically a fridge clearout but shh, don't tell the kids !)
Tuesday
dinner- I need to reschedule Tartiflette quickly before the cheese gets too stinky ! - baked potatoes, onions and bacon, topped with reblochon cheese and thrown in the oven
Wednesday
lunch- I picked up some yellow-stickered chicken too so French style chicken with peas and bacon sounds good, without the lettuce (I don't like the idea of cooked lettuce !), served with rice or pasta
dinner- I'm thinking there will be leftovers to use up
Thursday
lunch - smoked sausages, peppers, onions, tomatoes with rice
dinner- chicken paupiettes (chicken breast wrapped around sausagemeat) with mash & veg
Friday
dinner -spaghetti bolognese
Saturday
lunch- tacos or chicken fajitas - I'll let the kids choose
dinner- Whatever I picked up at the supermarket (pizza?)
Sunday
lunch- looking through the cupboard, I found the giant vol au vent cases that I bought - they can be filled with creamy chicken & mushrooms in a thick white sauce (they're called bouchées à la reine in French - "mouthfuls of the queen" !) - they can be served with salad and mash

We've got spaghetti bolognese today - always a winner isn't it! Hope you're having a good week when you read this & thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteDelicious meals planned. Spaghetti Bolognese is a favourite in our house too, so quick to do.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Great meal plan. The fridge clear out meal sounds so good. I love meals like that when you have a bit of everything. It sounds like you've done well with the yellow stickered items. x
