Meal Plan Monday 4th January 2016

It's been a while since I have written a meal plan let alone a new blog post, the combination of Mr MC&W new job, the two boys and expecting time just seemed to run away from us.

We now are a family of five and I know I need to get more organised this year with three boys to look after and a hard working hubby. 

Meals that can be prepared and cooked fast or can sit in a slow cooker or oven for a time with out burning or ending in disaster. I will be purchasing a few new cookbooks and selling some of my old ones as our meals need some inspiration. 

Monday - Quorn and Noodle Stir Fry for the adults and Gammon, Mash and Peas for the boys

Tuesday - Tuna Pasta Bake the boys will have cheesy pasta with green veg

Wednesday - Sausage Casserole with jacket potato for everyone

Thursday - Bacon, Potato and mushroom Gratin I will do for the boys but minus the mushrooms and serve with salad

Friday - I am a big fan of Birds Eye Fish Sensations we will have this with rice and Mediterranean vegetables the boys will have Fish Fingers, Chips and Peas

Saturday - Spag Bol for everyone

Sunday - Roast Chicken with all the trimmings

Did you have a good day?

I decided to write this post as a Mummy of a little boy who is on the Autism Spectrum  and has very limited speech and understanding, I wanted to give a glimpse into our world. He had been for a school trip to a small local airport and this is the story of collection and journey home.... As I walked through the door I almost heard the sigh of relief from the teachers, "Mummy is here" was said in that slightly high pitched tone mixing happy and stress all at the same time. OB runs towards me shouting Mummy then collapsed on the floor just by my feet telling me "I want yo see  animals and go to Legoland". OK I think to myself here we go, I bent down to his level and said in that slight high pitched fake happy tone that it was time to get into Mummy's car, but he was getting distressed the word Lego was being said repeatedly. I noted he did not have his Lego (Lego goes everywhere with him) I enquired about said Lego, luckily it was quickly found, this seemed to...

Mint is trying to take over the garden

I  am trying to tidy the garden up. We are a bit tight for money this month and I want to plant lots of bulbs. Instead I am tidying and keeping busy, let's be honest the garden is a weed haven and a total mess so I have a lot to do. Clearing this border however I have made a very important discovery. That mint is trying to take over the world, one border at a time. Two years ago I planted out a very sad and mainly dead supermarket mint plant. I did not think it was going to survive or the consequences of my naive action. It did survive and it did grow and grow. I then cleared the border down that year and the next it came back stronger. This year it was at its finest. Now admittedly I did just let it grow. The children loved the smell as did I. They were picking it, making mud pies with it, it was a source of fun. Then the flowers came out and the bees and pollinators were in heaven the whole border was alive, I had to keep it. I have now dug it u...

Planting LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei

I can not believe the day had finally arrived, the trees we had put so much thought into were going to be planted. We had the conifer and last shrubs removed and the whole area dug over and ready for the arrival of the LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei. Finding Elaeagnus Ebbingei Area cleared and ready for the trees I was on the school run when they arrived. I walked round into the back garden to see five of the most beautiful trees in huge pots ready to be planted. Mr MC&W had chatted to the team that the trees need to be the same height despite there being a slight slope. Elaeagnus ebbingei all ready to be planted It was great to see the tape measure out checking the spacing between each one, as this was such a crucial part of the design. I can not believe how fast they got the first tree in and how polite they were when we suddenly realised it was overhanging the neighbours' boundary. They brought it forward no questions. First Elaeag...
