Meal Plan Friday 2nd March 2018

It has been a tough week with the weather being so cold and then the snow. I had been watching the weather forecast, a massive shop arrived at 7am on Monday 26th February with enough planned food for the next 7 days. It was the right decision as well. 

 I am trying not to waste as much food so we have a few meals that will use up bits from last weeks meals. I am ed up of finding half a used feta that I have to chuck it is so wasteful.

 Friday -Fish, Chips and Peas all from the freezer

 Saturday - Frozen Pizza with tomato salad

 Sunday - Lamb Shanks got them on the Monday and froze them. These will be slow roasted with lots of veggies

 Monday - Bacon and Mushroom Pasta - this will use up the leftover pesto. The boys with have pasta, bacon and tomato sauce

 Tuesday - Crispy Greek Style Pie to use up the feta cheese. The boys will have some little parcels based on the below. Both served with salad

 Wednesday - Sausage and leek hash for us all served with kale or the adults and peas and sweetcorn for the boys.

 Thursday - Mustard Salmon with beets and lentils served with broccoli. The boys will have a simple fish pie with broccoli

    I also hate wasting food. I've taken to buying less stuff, even if it means shopping more frequently, but at least I don't have to chuck stuff out because there's so much stuff half has gone bad.

    I resorted to shopping twice a week to stop wasting so much food. Unfortunately my other half won’t eat anything that’s been frozen (unless bought frozen) so it makes buying things too far in advance very difficult!

    I have never been organised enough to make a meal planner, I just tend to wing it, am going to take a leaf from you and give it a try#tackicletuesday@_karendennis

    Definitely agree about trying to minimize the food waste. We’ve been trying to use up the food in our freezer to compensate.

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...

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...
