Meal Plan Friday 9th August 2019

So I am writing this meal plan with the rain beating down on the garden and not feeling that summery. Last weeks meal plan went well, the Thai chicken changed to a made up harissa with some honey and coconut milk and think I have fond a new meal as it was lovely.

 Friday - I found this spicy pork Schnitzel in a Mary Berry cookbook and going to serve it with a potato and green bean salad with a lemon and garlic mayonnaise. I get all our meat from our village farm shop and the butcher will beat the schnitzel out for me which is very useful.

 Saturday - Peri Peri chicken served with chips, salad, coleslaw and I hope some homegrown corn. The boys will have quorn buttermilk bites with mash and peas.

 Sunday - Meatballs with tomato sauce and spaghetti

 Monday - Chicken, Mozzarella and pesto parcels with salad. I do this with puff pastry and make the boys a tuna slice with salad

 Chicken mozzarella pesto filo parcels

 Tuesday - Salmon with beetroot and lentils. The boys will have cheesy pasta and veggies.

 Mustardy salmon beetroot lentils

 Wednesday - Curry chicken in the slow cooker

 Thursday - Quorn Burgers the chicken style ones with a choice of toppings and served with wedges for the adults.

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...

Meal Plan Saturday 18th June 2016

The weeks are just flying by at the moment. Last weeks meal plan went ok, the cheesy broccoli, ham and pasta bake was great even though I changed the meal massively from that on BBC Good Food. I adored the Pea Pakoras the boys not so much,  we will give them another go. The toad in the hole was for Mr and Mrs MC&W tasty and for once I cooked it well, boys loved the Yorkshire puddings but sausages are still not going down to well. This week is very busy so we are having a few quick and easy or throw it in the oven and leave to cook meals. We also have baby ZAP beginning to wean so putting his first few tastes on the meal plan as well. Busy times ahead. I am using as I did with both the boys Annabel Karmels ideas to start with and then doing a combination of baby lead weaning. This dual way worked well with both OEP and ATM. This week it's all about a few first tastes as he has had a few days on baby rice now and it's time to move on a little. I will also be starting to...

Feeding a Bee with sugar water

Have you ever been in the garden and seen a sad looking bee on the ground not really moving? You watch it for a while realising the poor little chap is really struggling. I have found several bees like this and tried to feed them sugar water. But my attempts to rescue them mainly ended with me trying to drown them, I was really not aiding them during their time of need. But I have finally developed a method that works so I thought I would share. Mix together white sugar with a little water so that it completely dissolves, RSPB suggests 2 tablespoons of sugar with one tablespoon of water. I used desert spoons but the same ratio. The advice is never to use honey or brown sugar.  This is what worked for me, move the bee to a paving stone, I used a strong leaf they tend to walk onto it, if not you can easily slide it under them, then drip a small amount of the sugar water in front of the bee. The bee will start to drink the sugar water and you will see it begin to get stronger. It...
