We're back ... again ! Did you miss me ?! After our trip around Belgium, we got back home, settled back in, then decided to make a last minute trip back to the UK to catch up with my family. It cost a fortune (top whack prices for the Eurostar, as it's August, plus they're only running one train per day) plus train tickets from Dunkerque to Lille and from London to Hastings), then the silly prices for the COVID tests (we're all double vaccinated, even the kids, and we got free ones two days before leaving France, but still needed to pay for non-NHS ones for two days after we arrived in England - about £60-80 per person, which is a bit of a killer, as we all knew they'd be negative - ah well !). Well, we're now back home and getting ready to go back to school on Wednesday (me) and Thursday/Friday (the kids).
Monday
lunch- tacos with salad, guacamole, cheese, tomatoes, etc
Tuesday
lunch- last restaurant meal out as a family before we go back to school
dinner- Pulled chicken in BBQ sauce with broccoli and mash
Wednesday
lunch- I'll be eating at school - the kids can have leftovers
dinner- cottage pie
Thursday
lunch - I'll be at school - fridge grazing for the kids (there should be leftovers)
dinner- smoked paprika chicken with rice and broccoli/carrots/peas
Friday
lunch- I'll probably be at school again (I won't know until I get my timetable on Wednesday) so the kids have free reign of the kitchen
dinner - spaghetti carbonara
Saturday
lunch- omelettes for those who like them, leftovers for the others
dinner- Sophie's bagels (chicken or bacon/egg with Philadelphia & salad/tomatoes) with wedges (she assures me they're lovely and it sounds like she's cooking - even better !)
Sunday
lunch- roast dinner (we have gravy granules and apple sauce again - woohoo !)
lunch- roast dinner (we have gravy granules and apple sauce again - woohoo !)
dinner- toast or sandwich for anyone who's hungry
Ahh! I am so glad you got back over here to visit family. I hope the return to school goes well. We still have another week off school & college.
ReplyDeleteGreat meal plan. I love the sound of the pineapple pork chops and Sophie's bagels. x
It was lovely to catch up with family - first time in over 18 months !
