Meal Plan Friday 16th November 2018

We have done very well on the food waste side this week and used up everything which is good.

 This week is a little crazy with appointments and Mr MC&W being busy at work so the meals are simple to cook and everyone will eat them.

 Friday - Scampi and Chips for Mr MC&W and I. The boys will have fish and chips

 Saturday - Quorn Burgers and Salad

 Sunday - Sausage Casserole and Jackets

 Monday - Oven Baked Risotto, will be roughly based on this

 Oven baked risotto

 Tuesday - Taco Tuesday as the boys like to call it served with lettuce, tomatoes, natural yogurt and some cheese the boys can choose what they want to add

 Wednesday - Ham, Egg and Chips

 Thursday - Pizza from frozen as we have a hospital apt that PM

    Well done on using up what you have and reducing food waste!
    I love that your meals are really varied too. I am sure your family loves them. I've never done tacos! I should try it one day. I've never even tried it. Will let you know how we like it.
    Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

    Wish I could be more efficient about meal planning. My meal planning is very loose, I'm afraid. I love trying to eliminate food waste and have gotten much better at it once I gave up on the idea that doing a weekly grocery shop was the ultimate in efficiency! Going twice a week has made a huge difference.

    This sounds great, simple but delicious! I'd never thought of using yoghurt instead of sour cream with tacos etc. Genius! 😊

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...

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...

Dinner for Two - private Chef

Friday was Mr MC&W 40th Birthday and this brought a slight dilemma. How could I make this night special without going to a restaurant for dinner? Our eldest has type 1 and ASD which means it's nearly impossible for anyone to have him even for an hour or so. I had an idea and for once it was one of my better ones. What about getting a private chef to cook for us in our own home. We could have an amazing meal that we do not have to cook ourselves and look after OB at the same time. Win win all round. Luckily the MIL knew someone who was starting out doing private catering, he has even appeared on MasterChef setting the contestants a challenge. We talked a lot on email about Mr MC&W favourite food, using this information he came up with a special menu for us both. It was perfect we could have a meal that was full of food Mr MC&W loves and there are worries about OB getting sick. Below is our amazing meal. (sorry that the photos are not the best quality, we were rea...
