Meal Plan Friday 24th January 2020

We are creeping towards  the end of January, it seems to have lasted forever. Last weeks meals were a huge success, the Pinch of Nom ones what a wonderful book so many ideas. Also introduced me to onion granules which mean i can get some extra flavour into the boys food but not the onions bits the hate.

 We are still being careful with what we eat but a few more treat meals are coming back onto the plan.

 Friday - Bean burgers for us I have brought these in the boys will have a chicken style quorn burger. Lunch sandwich from our farm shop.

 Saturday - Diet Cola chicken from pinch of non with noodles. Toasted cheese sandwiches as a treat for the boys.

 Diet coke or pepsi max chicken

Sunday - Spag Bol. Lunch Pasta Salad

 Monday - something like a crispy chicken from the freezer section with new potatoes, veggies. A easy stick in the oven meal for us all. Lunch I got some cauliflower rice so will be doing that as a salad of some kind.

 Tuesday - Double bean and roast pepper chili with jackets - I do cheat with this one and use a chili packet and just pimp it a little. The boys will have beans, cheese and eggs with their jackets. Soup again brought in.

 Wednesday - Tuna Pasta bake - its been ages. Hummus and salad wraps.

 Thursday - Vegan Bolognese. The boys will have a rich homemade tomato sauce with broccoli and spaghetti. Sushi as a treat for Mr MC&W I will have left over beans from last night.

    Sounds like a delicious bunch of meals this week, I love the Pinch of Nom book but always been dubious about the diet coke chicken, my friend raves about it.

    I think I am going to have to give it a try soon.

    I will be so glad when January is over, it really has lasted forever.
    I must make the diet cola chicken soon. It's been ages since we had it. I love the sound of the Double bean and roast pepper chili with jackets 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...
