What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 20

This week was a quiet, normal week which was just what was needed after a few hectic weeks. We had a big moment of panic at work when we suddenly realised just how close the end of term is and all that that entails - final exams, filling in reports, class meetings, sorting out the classes for next year, ... Oh well, one step at a time. This coming week, Monday is our final training day which gives us a nice easy start to the week. Here's the menu plan for next week.

Monday

lunch-  school canteen for me (Sophie and Pierre can go fridge diving)

dinner - beefburgers, rice and beans

Tuesday

lunch- bacon and leek quiche with salad

dinner-  sausages and mash with gravy and carrots

Wednesday

lunch- something instagram-inspired found by Sophie

dinner-spicy chickpea, tomato and sausage hot pot with rice

Thursday

lunch- something in town with Sophie

dinner-  baked potatoes with mushrooms, onions, bacon and cream

Friday

lunch- school canteen (Pierre and Sophie can fend for themselves)

dinner - beef stew with carrots, red peppers, onions, paprika and rice

Saturday

lunch- leftovers

dinner-  chilli con carne and rice

Sunday

lunch- chicken curry with rice

dinner - pasta bolognese

What's Cooking At The Madhouse ? menu plan week 19

I didn't end up doing a menu plan last week as we had major problems at home - our toilet blocked and we had to get a plumber out to unclog it. He didn't manage either so we had to get the truck out to force air/water through the pipes, which, he warned us, could end up breaking the toilet that would take a fortnight to repair. Luckily, it didn't break the toilet but the bill still came out at an eye-watering €1800 and we had four days without a toilet. Luckily there's a nearby fast food restaurant that we kept running to as needed and we headed off to Sophie's flat in Lille for the weekend. I'm glad that's over though ! May is the month of bank holidays so we had Thursday off last week and it's the same again this week. I do have to go in on my Wednesday day off though as it's the oral exams for the older kids and they needed more teachers to help out. Here's what's on the menu plan this week.

Monday

lunch-  lunch in town with Sophie

dinner - beef, carrot and mushroom stew with rice

Tuesday

lunch- baked potatoes with cheese and bacon

dinner- fresh beefburgers with mash and baked beans

Wednesday

lunch- tomato upside-down tart (a recipe that Sophie found on instagram)

dinner- cottage pie

Thursday

lunch- grilled ham, rice and ratatouille

dinner-  cordons bleus for Pierre and Sophie, lamb chops for me from Too Good To Go, with mash and green beans

Friday

lunch- school canteen (Pierre and Sophie can fend for themselves)

dinner - fish and chips

Saturday

lunch- chicken fajitas

dinner- pasta carbonara

Sunday

lunch- roast dinner (chicken or gammon)

dinner - bacon sandwiches
