We went back to school at the end of last week and, while Pierre and Juliette are both a bit underwhelmed at the moment, I'm actually quite pleased with my timetable this year. I have Wednesday off and Friday afternoon off so I will be a lady of leisure ! Well, hopefully it'll all be a bit less manic than the last couple of years anyway ! Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, I'll be at the school canteen so the kids will be fending for themselves. I'll make a rough plan but it's up to them what they eat. (I can see Sophie taking over on cooking when I'm not there.)
Monday
lunch- canteen for me - leftover roast chicken & potatoes for those at home
Tuesday
lunch- canteen for me, the kids can sort themselves out (leftovers or sandwiches probably)
dinner- baked potatoes with chorizo and bean stew
Wednesday
lunch- Portuguese-style pork bifana sandwiches with wedges and coleslaw
dinner- Provençal chicken (minus the aubergine as I don't like them !) with rice
Thursday
lunch - canteen for me - leftovers for the kids
dinner- spaghetti bolognese
Friday
lunch- beefburgers and couscous (with leftover coleslaw, if there is any)
dinner - Baked Southern-style chicken with rice and coleslaw
Saturday
lunch- maybe a trip to McDonald's - if not, pasta carbonara
dinner- pizza
dinner- cheese on toast
It sounds like the return to school has gone really well. Great meal plan. I like the sound of the Provençal chicken, I would be skipping the aubergine too. x
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely that you're going to have some time for yourself!
ReplyDeleteYour meals sound lovely, as always. Thanks for linking up and I hope you're keeping well! x
Good news, that you'll have more time for yourself! I haven't heard of bifana sandwiches, they sound tasty. And I must try that recipe for Southern-style chicken, as I'm trying to convince my younger child to eat more varied food. A bit fed up of cooking the same requested meals for him.
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly the same here and I've got bored of the same old recipes ! It's actually working out really well so far :)
