First full week of school done and it all went according to plan, except that the bus company decided to go on strike. It lasted from Monday to Thursday and they only announced whether or not they were going back to work the next day every evening so it was a nightmare. I was very relieved when they went back to work on Friday as I was having to leave the house at 6.45am to leave time for the long walk to work - nightmare ! We stuck to the plan all week except for Sunday dinner, when we decided to have raclette - a classic French dish of boiled potatoes, ham/salami and oodles of melted cheese - instead of the planned roast.
Monday
lunch- school canteen for me, leftovers for whoever eats at home
Tuesday
lunch- school canteen for me, leftovers for whoever eats at home
dinner- pork chops with gratin dauphinois (creamy potato bake) (on last week's plan but didn't get made) & green beans
Wednesday
lunch- spaghetti carbonara
dinner- chicken korma with rice
Thursday
lunch - ham-wrapped endives in cheese sauce (for me), chicken nuggets with rice & tomato salad (for the kids who are eating at home)
dinner- fresh pasta (with a creamy mushroom sauce, if anyone wants it - otherwise plain)
Friday
lunch- canteen for me, leftovers for the kids
dinner - chicken enchiladas
Saturday
lunch- time to clear out the fridge of leftovers before I go shopping - and if it's empty, I'll go freezer diving instead !
dinner- we didn't get Deliveroo last week so the kids have asked for it this week instead
Sunday
lunch- roast chicken, roast potatoes, veg & gravy
lunch- roast chicken, roast potatoes, veg & gravy
dinner- leftovers or toast
What a nightmare with the bus company being on strike. Your Sunday dinner sounds so good, almost better than a roast.
ReplyDeleteGreat meal plan. x
