What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 11

As I write this menu plan, the sun is shining brightly outside and I feel like we're in the midst of spring. I'm hopeful that this will last, but sadly, I think it's just a one-off and we'll be back to rain and cooler temperatures next week. Fingers crossed though - it's amazing how much better we all feel when the weather picks up. We're heading into the conseils de classe at work (end-of-term meetings for each class to discuss marks and behaviour of each pupil) so that will keep us busy for a couple of weeks. Sophie will be picking up the cooking duties when I get in late from work. Here's the plan for this week's food.

Monday

lunch- I'll eat at the school canteen

dinner - fish, rice and peas

Tuesday

lunch- sausages, mash and baked beans

dinner- pork chops with pasta and ratatouille

Wednesday

lunch- chakchouka

dinner- raclette, baked baby potatoes and pork belly

Thursday

lunch-something in town with Sophie (fridge diving for Pierre)

dinner- fresh ravioli (from a Too Good To Go bag)

Friday

lunch- school canteen (Pierre and Sophie can fend for themselves)

dinner - tacos

Saturday

lunch- fricadelles (like rissoles) with chips

dinner- mini burgers with salad and potato salad

Sunday

lunch- roast chicken, roast potatoes, veg and gravy

dinner - leftovers

What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 10

Last week, we finally got around to going to the travel agent's to book this year's summer holiday. We'll be heading off for two weeks in Marrakech, Morocco, which should be lovely but apparently very hot. Juliette's boyfriend will be coming with us which should give the kids a chance to spend some time doing their own activities, such as the giant pool slides, while I flake out with a book under the poolside parasols. Sounds good to me ! Using things out of the freezer is turning into a great way of saving money at the moment, which is perfect timing with the holiday to pay for. We'll do more of that this week as there is still plenty in there. Here's the plan for this week.

Monday

lunch- I'll eat in town with Sophie (fridge diving for Pierre)

dinner - leftover roast gammon with rice and carrots

Tuesday

lunch- battered fish with mash and veg

dinner- pasta carbonara

Wednesday

lunch- some sort of spicy veggie concoction for me and Sophie

dinner- roast beef with gravy, roast potatoes and peas

Thursday

lunch-something in town with Sophie (fridge diving for Pierre)

dinner- sausages, mushrooms, canned tomatoes and onions with pasta

Friday

lunch- school canteen (Pierre and Sophie can fend for himself)

dinner - leftovers

Saturday

lunch- steak pies with mash and veg

dinner- the kids will probably want some kind of takeaway (Pepe chicken, I would imagine)

Sunday

lunch- Moroccan-style grilled chicken breasts with couscous and tomato/chickpea sauce

dinner - leftovers or soup
