And we're into the holidays - woohoo ! That means my menu planning becomes less fixed, as we can dash across the road to Lidl when we need anything last minute (like ... let me guess ... ice creams !), the kids tend to help out more in the kitchen with their unexpected ideas (like Juliette making pancakes last week) and we'll probably often end up grabbing something out and about when we go on adventures. Well, that's what usually happens but this year, it's all a bit unknown - we'll see ! As it's the holidays, I fancy trying out some of my bookmarked recipes too, so I need a sort out.
Monday
lunch- I have a pack of mince that needs using up - for a change, I'll go for a mince & veg bolognese type sauce topped with mash (a kind of bolognese cottage pie !)
dinner - pizza and/or spinach filo parcels & salad/carrot sticks/cucumber slices, etc
Tuesday
lunch- Breaded chicken with rice & Mexican veggies
dinner- leftovers and/or fresh pasta
Wednesday
lunch- steak, chips & salad
dinner- chicken burgers with Ebly & leftover Mexican veggies
Thursday
lunch- We have a meeting at the sollicitor's to finally sort out Madhouse Daddy's inheritance so probably something in town
dinner- Paprika chicken thighs with spaghetti
Friday
lunch- homemade chicken nuggets with rice & veggies
dinner - pork chops with herby potato chunks & ratatouille
Saturday
lunch- sausage sandwiches
dinner- big mixed salad (to clear out the fridge !)
Sunday
lunch- chicken skewers with roast potatoes
Sunday
lunch- chicken skewers with roast potatoes
dinner- leftovers or toast
Hooray for the holidays. We always seem to be rushing to the shop for ice creams too. hehehe
ReplyDeleteGreat meal plan.
We had left over bolognese with mash for the first time a few months ago and it was lovely. Something a bit different than the typical cottage pie.
Good luck with the meeting with the solicitor x
Bolognese and mash is a surprising hit - a great way of using up leftovers !
DeleteA bolognese cottage pie sounds nice!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a nice week and enjoy the holidays x
