Planning "hot weather food" worked well and it's stayed really sunny so we'll go for the same again. This week will be extra busy with the in-laws' coming to visit on Wednesday and end-of-term meetings for two classes after school on Thursday. I need simple recipes this week ! At the weekend, we headed out to a pizza restaurant in town - the first time in so long ! We went a bit later (around 1.30pm rather than the usual 12.00 when all French people go to eat) and it was actually really quiet, so I'm guessing everyone headed to the beach. Here's this week's plan.
Monday
lunch- spicy prawns in cream with rice (Pierre can have a beefburger instead of prawns and Sophie's eating with her friends)
Tuesday
lunch- I'll be at the canteen so the kids can sort themselves out
dinner- sausage casserole with mash
Wednesday
lunch- lunch with the in laws (I think we'll head to our usual Chinese restaurant as everything's open again)
dinner- spaghetti bolognese, if we're hungry
Thursday
lunch - spicy chicken with rice and salads (I filled up the fridge with salads so we have the choice of beetroot salad, céleri remoulade, coleslaw, couscous, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, ...)
dinner- I'll be late home so the kids can sort something out - we have KFC-style crispy nuggets, probably with the same salads as lunch - there are some spicy curly fries in the freezer, if the kids get their act together though !
Friday
lunch- I'll be at the canteen so the kids can sort themselves out
dinner - chilli con carne and rice
Saturday
lunch- chicken (with hidden veg !) and pasta
dinner- bacon sandwiches
Sunday
lunch- marinated pork, rice and veg
lunch- marinated pork, rice and veg
dinner- leftovers or toast
How lovely that the in-laws are coming to visit. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteYour meals all sound so good and perfect for the weather we've been having x
Apparently it is going to rain all next week - aaaggghhh ! lol
DeleteSome absolutely delicious sounding meals here, as always! I'm glad the pizza restaurant visit went well!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good time with the in laws? It was hot here too now it's gone cold and back to winter feeling meals!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was good to see them. We had a week or two of blazing heat followed by about four days of endless storms and now it's just rain all the time - grrr !
