Meal Plan 13th November 2014

Last week we had some new and really lovely meals thanks to re discovering Rachel Allen's easy meals and I must admit I am going to be using that book a lot more and a couple of good mid week meals have come out of it. This week I have been re looking at the Madhouse cookbook by Jo Pratt

Thursday - Homemade mixed bean chilli with jacket potatoes - totally made up ala Mud Cakes and Wine I may write it up but worried it's just too simple - boys had simply Jackets with cheese and some salad

Friday - doing a cheesy nacho dish with chicken be interesting to see what I make up for this one. I will do the same for the boys less chilli though

Saturday - Beef pies I must admit I brought these in with chips and peas for the boys homemade pizza and chips

Sunday - Roast Chicken boys will have the same

Monday - Meatballs with Olives - Madhouse cookbook by Jo Pratt. Boys will have mince sauce with pasta

Tuesday - Chicken, Potato and Spinach Curry - Madhouse cookbook by Jo Pratt. Boys will have homemade chicken nuggets with peas and mash

Wednesday - Bacon and Tomato Penne. Boys will have the sauce OB will not have the bacon just a simple sauce.
