Meal Plan Saturday 27th August 2016

It has been very hot here in the south East over the last week, meaning that non of us have really wanted to eat. 

The chicken satay its safe to say we will not be having again. I like it when someone else makes it but not made by me.

The potato Muffins were good to try but very dull. We will have again but they need extra cheese, ham and flavourings. I will try these again with some major changes.

As its bank holiday weekend I want to have a little rest from cooking so some easy meals have gone into the plan.

Saturday - Curry this is a ready meal but as we are still watching the food we eat this will be a healthy eating version. Boys will have nuggets, chips and peas.

Sunday - Another ready meal, tesco had a lovely lamb dish with crushed new potatoes and loads of green veg. The boys will have roasted gammon with roasted potatoes and veg

Monday - Mr MC&W and I will be trying venison burgers with a few cheeky chips. The boys will have pasta with tomato sauce.

Tuesday - our favourite madhouse carbonara

Wednesday - hassle back potatoes with a tomato sauce and veggies. I have never made these but they look interesting.

Thursday - fish finger sandwiches again these are new to our family but worth a try.

Friday - another new idea risotto balls.

    1. I liked them the boys were not fans, but could well have been my cooking of them. The idea of new potatoes done like that really appeals too xx

    1. The risotto balls were really great and the boys loved them with a big plate of salad. I cheated and served them with tomato ketchup not sure I should admit to that though hee hee hee xx

  5. You have to have a night off or a treat or it can become so boring. We love charlie Bingham meals with a bottle of wine in this house. xx

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...
