Meal Plan Friday 3rd February 2017

I apologise for the meal plan being late, all three children have either had or currently have chicken pox. Then Mr MC&W was waiting to hear about his next assignment so we did not know if he would be at home or not.

We are still not exactly sure of his work plans, so the meals have been designed that I and the boys can have them or we can cook them for everyone at different times.

Friday - Fish, Chips and Peas for everyone

Saturday- Mr MC&W and I will have a Charlie Bingham Curry. ATM has a party so cheesy pasta for lunch.

Sunday - Sausages roasted with red onions and potatoes covered in honey and whole grain mustard. The boys will have roast potatoes, sausages and beans. All served with Broccoli.

Monday - Curried Potato Pasties. These are always a hit in this household and are easy to prepare ahead of time. Served with salad and coleslaw.

Tuesday - Tagliatelle pasta with ham and mushrooms in a cheese sauce. This is a favourite of Mr MC&W and the boys love it with out the mushrooms.

Wednesday- Cajun Chicken Gumbo. I make this in two batches one slightly less spicy for the boys. It's a great recipe from BBC Good Food

Thursday - Gnocchi Bolognese with Spinach again this is BBC Good Food and can be slightly modified for the children. Replacing the spinach with frozen peas and sweetcorn.

    I clicked on your post on #BloggerClubUk because I'm always looking for inspiration for different meals. We tend to eat the same things week in week out so thanks for sharing this. There's a few different ideas for me here.

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...
