Meal Plan Friday 10th January 2019

The weather is grey and dull and miserable, so comfort food is needed this week.

Last weeks meals were a huge success, the bean burritos I made up but ended up tasty and full of black beans and veggies. The Moroccan meatballs were brilliant and used less meat as so any veggies. This is something we did already but I am trying to cut down more of the meat we eat. 

Friday - Fish, Chips and Peas

Saturday - Is a odd day, the eldest has a party and Mr MC&W is playing golf. So ready meal for us thanks to Charlie Bighmas and the other boys will have pizza and salad

Sunday - Sausages in a big Yorkshire pudding with carrots, spinach and gravy

Monday - Leek, Mushroom and goats cheese strudel the boys will have tuna slices


Tuesday - Mexican pulled chicken. The boys will have this but less spicy,


Wednesday - Spicy Salmon tray bake. Salmon and mash and peas for the boys.


Thursday -  Tortellini bake for us all

    The strudel sounds nice. I'm on Slimming World though so not for me just yet!

    I love the sound of sausages in a big Yorkshire pudding. I'm not a Roast Dinner fan so that sounds like a much nicer Sunday dinner! #StayClasyMama

    As always you've got some absolutely delicious sounding dinners! Lately I have cut 100g - 150g off the quantity of meat when we have it too and just bulked the veg up a bit. This has cut our consumption quite a bit too!

    Thanks for linking up and have a great week.

    I like the sound of leek, mushroom and goats cheese strudels. I think we will have to give this one a try.
    It's been quite dull here too although today looks a little brighter!

    I wrote a 3 week meal plan at the start of the year but don't think I've stuck to it once! I really need to focus more when I shop and not buy on impulse. Thanks for linking up with #stayclassymama

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...
