That's it, the holidays are over and we've all headed back to school (except for Sophie who still has a few weeks left). I get Wednesdays off and Thursday afternoons off this year, which sounds good to me and less hectic than last year. I've just gone shopping for next week and bought way too much food as I got loads of quick and simple things for the kids to cook for lunch (which invariably never get eaten !) - ah well, it can go in the freezer if it' still in the fridge at the end of the week ! Last week's menu plan was hit-and-miss as I came down with a tummy bug and was off food for a couple of days. Luckily I was back up and running before going back to work though. The kids found loads of things to eat in the freezer so they weren't complaining ! A couple of meals are relisted from last week as they didn't get made.
Monday
lunch- school canteen for me, leftovers for whoever eats at home
Tuesday
lunch- school canteen for me, leftovers for whoever eats at home (or I bought sausages, either in sandwiches or with leftover rice)
dinner- Mediterranean chicken (seasoning & cooking bag - add tomatoes, courgette & red pepper) with couscous (this was on last week's plan but didn't end up getting made ... umm same again ! Third time lucky ?!)
Wednesday
lunch- sausages & lentils
dinner- filet mignon in gravy with mash & green beans
Thursday
lunch - eating with a friend, kids can sort themselves out or come along, depending on their timetables
dinner- pork casserole with rice
Friday
lunch- canteen for me, leftovers for the kids
dinner - battered fish with ebly & veggie patties
Saturday
lunch- cheese puffs (Pierre can have a beefburger or leftovers instead) with mash & ratatouille
dinner- I think we deserve a takeaway :)
Sunday
lunch- roast chicken, gratin dauphinois (didn't get made last week) & salad
lunch- roast chicken, gratin dauphinois (didn't get made last week) & salad
dinner- leftovers or toast
Yep, back to school for my youngest today and back into a routine. That is great you have some time off during the week. So sorry you weren't well last week.
ReplyDeleteGreat meal plan. Yes, you sure will deserve a takeaway at the end of the week. x
