We're back, after a ten day trip to Belgium, travelling about and visiting Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Brugges. It was nice and we saw lots of interesting places, but it's good to be back home for a rest ! As we had to eat out all the time, we swapped between restaurants, fast-food places and sandwich/salad type meals from the supermarkets, so the kids are off fast food now and want to catch up on my cooking. No arguments from me ! I bet it won't last though !
Monday
lunch- I have some leftover cooked chicken to use up and some ebly - I think I'll chop it all up, add some mushrooms and bacon and cream and bingo !
dinner - Spicy brown sugar pork chops with mashed potatoes and grated carrots
Tuesday
lunch- Chicken cordon bleu with spaghetti & baked tomatoes
dinner- Garlic & herb chicken with rice & salad
Wednesday
lunch- Pork burgers with baked potatoes & beans
dinner- Paprika chicken with rice & ratatouille
Thursday
lunch- BBQ ribs with potato salad (or leftover rice)
dinner- Chicken & veg stir fry with noodles
Friday
lunch- Chicken burgers with cheesy potato bake & salad
dinner - pasta with bacon, onions, mushrooms and either a cream or tomato based sauce
Saturday
lunch- there will probably be leftovers - if not, something from the freezer (chicken? fish? fishfingers? sausages? I'm not actually sure what's in there at the moment !)
dinner- cheese on toast or pizza
Sunday
lunch- roast potatoes and veg with whatever meat I picked up when shopping yesterday

lunch- roast potatoes and veg with whatever meat I picked up when shopping yesterday
dinner- a picky salad/sandwich/leftovers/fridge-grazing kind of thing
Sounds a lovely trip you must be exhaused. The spicy brown sugar pork chops sounds amazing
ReplyDeleteThe kids aren't keen on pork but it goes down a treat with the sugar "sauce". You literally cook the pork chops, add salt, pepper, garlic granules and brown sugar, then finish off cooking until it all melts down into a sauce. Simple !
DeleteWow, you've got some delightful sounding meals this week!
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll enjoy your own home this week. I always love it when we're back home safe!
It is nice to be back home, just chilling out for a while !
DeleteIt sounds like you had a good trip but are ready for some home cooked food. Great meal plan. I love the sound of the Spicy brown sugar pork chops x
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely ready for some home cooked food, and some chilling out at home ! The spicy brown sugar pork chops worked well - just add salt, pepper, garlic granules and brown sugar (plus paprika if you want) then toss it until it melts into a sauce. Really easy ! :)
DeleteHome cooked food is always appreciated in our house, especially after a trip away. I like the sound of the pork chops too.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a fab time in Belgium. It's always nice to get home and relax though isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteLovely meal plan, the spicy brown sugar pork chops sound really tasty! :)

ReplyDeleteI might have to try the pork chop recipe. We haven't had chops for a while. Thanks for that idea.
