Last week was a great week in terms of food. We totally stuck to the plan (apart from when we were using up leftovers instead of cooking a new meal), ate loads of new dishes and everyone liked everything (including homemade coleslaw and frozen peas ... the kids usually turn their noses up at both !). Maybe they've hit that stage (every seven years, I think?) where their tastes change. Hmmm I'll have to work through loads of different vegetables again and see what appeals ! Right, on to this week's plan ...
Monday
lunch- Chicken Gyros (this is the recipe but I use pre-spiced meat from the supermarket) with rice & salad (Pierre can have a beefburger as he doesn't like the marinade)
Tuesday
dinner- Tacos (as we didn't have them last week in the end)
Wednesday
lunch- beefburgers & chips
dinner- cannelloni
Thursday
lunch - I'm thinking there will be leftovers to use up
dinner- Pork chops with cream & mushrooms, mash & veg (carrots? Thinking about it, Sophie grabbed a load of courgettes and promised to make a courgette gratin so she can do that !)
Friday
dinner - Chinese chicken with veg & noodles (I'll be honest, the chicken and veg are frozen in a bag - we'll see what it's like. Adding noodles and loads of soy sauce should make it nice anyway !)
Saturday
lunch- spaghetti bolognese
dinner- Tartiflette - baked potatoes, onions and bacon, topped with stinky reblochon cheese and thrown in the oven
Sunday
lunch- roast dinner, with whatever I pick up at the supermarket
lunch- roast dinner, with whatever I pick up at the supermarket
dinner- Chicken spring rolls
So pleased the meals were a success, my youngest ate peas this week too i was very shocked. Your meals sound great esp the baked potato with stinky cheese
ReplyDeleteYay, long may it last ! I'm wondering what to try next ... lol
DeleteIt is such a good feeling when you stick to a meal plan all week. We just about did it but changed things over the weekend.
