Meal Plan Friday 24th January 2020

We are creeping towards  the end of January, it seems to have lasted forever. Last weeks meals were a huge success, the Pinch of Nom ones what a wonderful book so many ideas. Also introduced me to onion granules which mean i can get some extra flavour into the boys food but not the onions bits the hate.

 We are still being careful with what we eat but a few more treat meals are coming back onto the plan.

 Friday - Bean burgers for us I have brought these in the boys will have a chicken style quorn burger. Lunch sandwich from our farm shop.

 Saturday - Diet Cola chicken from pinch of non with noodles. Toasted cheese sandwiches as a treat for the boys.

 Diet coke or pepsi max chicken

Sunday - Spag Bol. Lunch Pasta Salad

 Monday - something like a crispy chicken from the freezer section with new potatoes, veggies. A easy stick in the oven meal for us all. Lunch I got some cauliflower rice so will be doing that as a salad of some kind.

 Tuesday - Double bean and roast pepper chili with jackets - I do cheat with this one and use a chili packet and just pimp it a little. The boys will have beans, cheese and eggs with their jackets. Soup again brought in.

 Wednesday - Tuna Pasta bake - its been ages. Hummus and salad wraps.

 Thursday - Vegan Bolognese. The boys will have a rich homemade tomato sauce with broccoli and spaghetti. Sushi as a treat for Mr MC&W I will have left over beans from last night.

    Sounds like a delicious bunch of meals this week, I love the Pinch of Nom book but always been dubious about the diet coke chicken, my friend raves about it.

    I think I am going to have to give it a try soon.

    I will be so glad when January is over, it really has lasted forever.
    I must make the diet cola chicken soon. It's been ages since we had it. I love the sound of the Double bean and roast pepper chili with jackets x

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...

Bulb Rescue

Plants amaze me all the time, this morning I was tidying up and found a upturned pot. Under the pot I found bulbs that had fallen out but had started to grow leaves. They had no soil and still, these plucky little bulbs were wanting to grow. No soil and abandoned  Growing with no soil So I have attempted a rescue mission using things I could quickly find. I found a little old terracotta pot and some stones. Old Pot Few stones I had no compost (shocking I know) but I did have a huge molehill, so I grabbed some soil from that and filled the pot just over half full. The only worry I have is that our soil is clay and not sure how it wil work in a pot.will  Huge Molehill Some soil added Then I put the saved bulbs into the pot, they were not easy to arrange, so they have a kind of haphazard look about them. I then covered them with more soil and gave them a good water. Bulbs put into the pot Soil added  I am not sure if they will ...

Pleached Trees - Higher Privacy Solution

As you are aware we have had the new fence put in and are trying to find some ways to gain some privacy back, the new garden fence . Today I took the boys on a trip to one of my favourite places to look at trees and plants. English Woodlands located at Cross in Hand, East Sussex. We brought our laurel plants from them about 4 years ago, they were extremely good plants healthy, strong and have since flourished. As a nursery, they helped us choose what we needed and even told us to buy smaller ones as they would grow so fast, saving us money. I have been looking online and wondered if pleached trees maybe an answer to our height issue. What they should do is bring height to the fence but still allow light in. Now these are by no means a cheap and as always I am not sure if Mr MC&W is going to like them. So what is a pleached tree you ask?, to be honest, I only found out when frantically on google looking for  solutions for the new fence. A pleached tree is where som...
