Meal Plan Friday 23rd February 2018

Mr MC&W is now back from a 4 day business trip to Poland, we have coped well though making all the decisions regarding OBs type 1 has been tough.

 We are both in need of some lighter food this week, even though the beast from the east is meant to be bringing in some very cold weather. Not sure the two will go together.

 Friday - Pasta with mozzarella and fresh tomato sauce. Beans with cheese and toast for the boys

 Pasta with mozzarella mint and fresh tomato sauce

Saturday - A Smoked Mackerel Salad with a horseradish dressing, the boys will have ham, egg and chips

 Sunday - This is a bolognese dish from the wonderful Busy Mums Cookbook by Mary Gwynn and is just the most amazing sauce ever, served with a green salad

 Monday - A Gino Dish from his healthy cookbook, Baked Potatoes with Broccoli and Gorgonzola served with a fresh tomato salad. The boys will have jackets with tuna mayo and salad.

 Tuesday - This is an Ainsley Harriott meal from his meal in minutes book called crispy orange chicken served with rice and stir fried veggies. We have a friend of ATM coming to play so they will all be having fish, Chips and Peas

 Wednesday - Bacon, Avocado warm pasta salad. I will be using the orzo pasta for the boys in a tomato sauce.

 Thursday - Lamb traybake. The boys will have macaroni cheese with bacon

    Think we need to go down the 'light' road dinner wise this week. Since having the flu I only seem to be able to tolerate plain food oddly!! Lots of baked and plain potato dishes here!

    Pleased to see I'm not the only one that has to cook two main meals a day. In my dreams we will all have the same food every day!

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...

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...
