Meal Plan Friday 7th September 2018

So the first week of school is all but done and the realisation that I must be planned with quick and easy meals or ones that go in the slow cooker hit hard. Sometimes easier said than done. I have noticed the food bill creeping up too so need to keep an eye on that.

 Friday - Chili Chicken Wraps. I am going to do a simpler version of this for the boys and add veggies into the meal.

 Chilli chicken wraps

Saturday - Moussaka as a ready meal as Mr MC&W is playing golf for the boys Quorn burgers.

 Sunday - McDonald's for the boys as a well done treat. We will have Pork Schnitzel

 Monday - Prawn and Coconut laksa. The boys will have the noodles with chicken and less spicy

 Prawn and coconut laksa

Tuesday - Stuffed Red peppers with Taleggo this is from Gino Healthy Italian and is lovely.

 Wednesday - Beef Stroganoff, made with quorn for us all

 Beef stroganoff

Thursday - Chicken Breasts in a cream  sage and lime sauce with a mushroom rice. The boys will have this with mash and peas. Again this is from Gino 
Healthy Italian

    Sounds like a lovely menu. I have some Quorn to use up and a stroganoff would make it taste nicer I think. Don't know why I bought so much - must have been on offer! I don't even like it much!

    It's so easy to start spending more on food without really noticing. If this is your budget menu you're doing really well! It's sounds super-fancy!

      i work hard and use quorn rather than beef and loads of veggies to make food go further. But it can mean a lot of thinking xx

    This post has reminded me that I really need to start planning meals a bit better. I always intend to plan for the week but often end up cooking something last minute with whatever we've got in the fridge. And it's not always that tasty! #blogstravaganza

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...

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...

Bulb Rescue

Plants amaze me all the time, this morning I was tidying up and found a upturned pot. Under the pot I found bulbs that had fallen out but had started to grow leaves. They had no soil and still, these plucky little bulbs were wanting to grow. No soil and abandoned  Growing with no soil So I have attempted a rescue mission using things I could quickly find. I found a little old terracotta pot and some stones. Old Pot Few stones I had no compost (shocking I know) but I did have a huge molehill, so I grabbed some soil from that and filled the pot just over half full. The only worry I have is that our soil is clay and not sure how it wil work in a pot.will  Huge Molehill Some soil added Then I put the saved bulbs into the pot, they were not easy to arrange, so they have a kind of haphazard look about them. I then covered them with more soil and gave them a good water. Bulbs put into the pot Soil added  I am not sure if they will ...
