Meal Plan - Monday 17th August 2015

Not having fun writing meal plans as feeling very stuffed after every meal and busy with the boys, so finding a good moment to think about food is rare. But here we go

Monday - Large chicken samosas, the below is with Turkey but we have some cooked chicken, I am going to try the boys with a simple version of this, not sure how it will go down.

Tuesday - a lentil and onion soup from Rachel Allens Easy Cookbook, have to laugh as it's rather a winters evening food but it's not BBQ weather. Boys will have cheesy pasta with broccoli on the side

Wednesday - My lovely sister and family are coming to see us, we need a quick and easy dinner lets do jackets with tuna mayo for all of us

Thursday - A lovely cannelloni idea from slimming world I found, please I am not trying to loose weight I am just going for healthy ideas making food lighter. I again am going to try the boys on this

Friday - a spicy but light meal, we will have tortillas instead of the egg base. Should be a clean but tasty Friday meal. Boys will have Friday night fav fish and chips with peas

Saturday - I have to be honest I am shattered by the weekend and we have SALT and shoe shopping so something pre cooked for us.

Sunday - Roast chicken with the trimmings though if the MIL is coming over we may pop to the farm shop and get a treat roast of pork or beef

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...
