Meal Plan Friday 7th June 2019

Did you miss us last week? I have to be very honest and say I have totally lost my meal planning mojo for this last couple of weeks. I have written this weeks up but it took ages as none of the food appealed, I think I wrote about three plans. I am hoping to be back to myself again soon but at the moment I have just lost all interest.

 Friday - Smoked mackerel salad with beetroot, roasted new potatoes and salad. This is such a easy and tasty meal. Boys had pizza though the two older boys have found a love of smoked mackerel so thinking up a salad for them.

 Saturday - Mr MC&W is golfing so its Spag Bol for us all

 Sunday - We have some blue cheese left over so its chicken breast stuff with blue cheese and roasted on a bed of courgettes and tomatoes served with new potatoes and spinach. The boys will have a mini chicken roast.

 Monday - Salmon, Broccoli pasta I found this on bbc good food and going to make it with a small amount of Salmon for the boys.

 Italian broccoli and salmon bake

 Tuesday - Stir Fry beef though this will be qourn strips and lots of veggies served with noodles for us all

 Wednesday - Southern Fried chicken with avocado burgers 

 Thursday - Double bean and roasted pepper chili this is in the slow cooker as we have meetings at school and sports day. The boys have requested pizza.

    I hope you have your mojo back! Honestly, this plan sounds amazing! Maybe introducing one new but simple dish each week (using the ingredients you already have in) is the way to go.
    Also, each day when I scroll through FB, there are so many new and interesting recipe ideas that you can jazz up or customise according to your family's needs! Go for it. Have a lovely week ahead and we look forward to your plans for the following week.

      Thanks my lovely, it is funny how sometimes you just do not want any food. Think maybe a bit run down with a cold and the weather means you want summer food but its cold xx

    it's hard to keep your mojo going isn't it. My lot are a pain in the butt sometimes, I can't please everyone. You have some nice recipes this week, I've not tried the quorn beef strips yet, they never seem to have them in stock.

      I have to hide them in tasty food with lots of texture as mr mc&w is not a fan but its good for us and when a stir fry you do not notice it, hoping to be back on form soon xx

    I hope you get back on track with the meal planning. It's hard when nothing is appealing to you.
    I love the sound of the Southern Fried chicken with avocado burgers. x

    I hope you manage to get back on track, it is hard some weeks isn't it. I find when I am having those kinds of weeks, having a week of mostly slow cooker meals really helps! (Even if it just putting jacket potatoes in the slow cooker!) it takes away all the prep at that time of the day when you just cant be bothered!

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...
