Menu Plan Saturday 21st May 2016

Well it's been a while since I managed to find the time to sit down and write a meal plan. I promise you we have been eating but it's been very ad hoc and the meals were getting so dull.

Our main change has been that Mr MC&W has been working in London for the last few months. All his meals are eaten in town, I am eating dinner with the boys. Now trying to find meals that we all want to eat has become interesting. 

Saturday - Mr MC&W and I are having chicken breast burgers. Roast chicken breast with avocado, bacon and a lovely spicy mayo served on Ciabatta. Boys will have make your own pizza with a homemade tomato sauce.

Sunday - Sausages roasted with potatoes and red onions in a whole grain mustard and honey sauce served with lots of green veggies for Mr MC&W andyself. I love this it's adapted from the busy mums cookbook and is a wonderful throw in the oven meal. Boys will have sausages and mash.

Monday - A simple special fried rice using chicken and children friendly veggies.

Tuesday - Carbonara but I am using the madhouse cookbook version with mascarpone as I do not like the meal too eggy and will swap bacon for thick sliced ham.

Wednesday - Puff Pastry tarts, I love these, I will make my special tomato sauce which is very sweet in the morning and we can all choose the toppings from things like ham, cheese, mushrooms etc served with salad

Thursday - tuna fish cakes we have not had these in a while I am going to make the boys almost mini ones and bake in the oven. Served with peas and sweetcorn plus if feeling adventurous the boys can try some sweet chilli sauce.

Friday - mini meatballs for the boys and proper ones for Mr MC&W and I served on spaghetti. I now cook this meal in the oven and seems to work really well.

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...

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...

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...
