What's Cooking at The Madhouse? menu plan 2019 week #37


I ended up buying way too much food last week - I'm adjusting to being one family member down, now that Sophie is off at college and it does make a big difference ! - so I haven't actually gone shopping for this week's food yet. I may even make it through the week without topping up if I'm lucky. We're settling back into a routine with Pierre coming home for lunch rather than going for school dinners so I need to keep leftovers in the fridge for the kids.

Monday 

dinner - leftovers from yesterday : I ended up making a pork stir fry with baby sweetcorn and mangetout, plus some BBQ sauce (it tasted much better than it sounds !) with rice

Tuesday 

dinner - sausages, mash & beans

Wednesday 

lunch - spaghetti carbonara

dinner - I have a marrow that was given to me but I don't know what to do with it - any suggestions? So far, I'm planning on a stuffed marrow bake (the kids can always opt for leftovers if they hate it !)

Thursday 

dinner - I think I'll be eating leftover marrow for the next few nights (!) but I have some chicken nuggets if needed for the kids, with pasta maybe?

Friday  

dinner - baked potatoes with cheese, beans, bacon ... these were on last week's plan but never got made as we were using up leftovers

Saturday

lunch - McDonald's or similar

dinner - bacon fillets (they look like gammon) with mash and veg (or whatever may be in the fridge that needs using up)

Sunday

lunch - marinaded chicken (maybe tomato & herb?) with rice & veg

dinner -  sandwiches or fridge clearout

  1. I bought too much food too. I was so used to feeding the kids during the day over the summer. lol
    Ahh! Sausage, mash and beans is such a fab meal. One of my favourites.
    Great meal plan x

    1. It takes a while to get back into routine ! I still have it in my brain that I'm cooking for five and now, we're just three so we often have way too much ! :-/

  3. Stuffed marrow is lovely, i was given one once, did a mince base and then a cheese sauce on top it was lovely but a lot of work hahaha

  4. Lovely of someone to give you a marrow but I find them very bland and watery. On the rare occasions I buy one, I either put it in a homemade mixed vegetable soup or I scoop out the centre, fry some mushrooms and onions, stuff the marrow with the mushroom mixture and throw over some cheesy breadcrumbs before baking.

    1. Umm I'm not even sure it was a marrow - even the woman who gave it to me wasn't sure !! It was just like a giant courgette, in terms of taste and look, so it was OK but quite bland. The kids didn't like it, which was predictable ! I'll be blogging my recipe shortly :)
