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

    Oh yum! Can I come for tea? LOL. You have got the weekly meal plan cracked. I keep meaning to get my own plan down on paper, but the week keeps getting in the way. Stuffed peppers are one of my favs. Thanks for sharing with the #dreamteam x

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...
