What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan weeks 1 + 2


We're back home after a lovely Christmas break catching up with the family and now it's time to get back into routine. That means sorting out the washing, putting away all the presents and clothes and new buys (mainly books but luckily I am going to see a friend on Saturday and will be able to donate a big bag of books to her to make some extra space). I also need to clear out Pierre's room (not being used now), put some pressure on the insurance expert so I can finally get the roof fixed then sort out the water damage on Sophie's ceilings in the loft. Plenty to keep me busy for a while but I also want to have a good sort out in the kitchen and find ways to use up all the random things (often but not always from Degustaboxes) taking up space in the kitchen cupboards. I've also got to get my work-head back on and do some marking before I head back to work on Monday. Then it's back to our usual hectic busy weeks with everyone at school, uni or work.

  1. I know exactly what you mean by random foods from Degustabox. They do tend to take a lot of space in the kitchen, and I try to be creative and use the stash.
