Meal Plan Friday 7th February 2020

We are on the count down to half term now one week to go and we have an inset day on Friday. Can not wait not to have to rush around in the morning for a week.

Last weeks meal plan was a real success the mango salmon was delicious as was the cauliflower curry with egg.

 Meal plan Friday 31st January 2020

We have more comfort food this week as it is still winter and cold and needing comfort food.

Friday - Tortellini for the boys. We are having a smoked mackerel salad with roasted potatoes, beetroot and horseradish dressing. I love this meal and not had it in ages, more comfort food.

Saturday - Nandos as a treat

Sunday - Meatballs for us all.

Monday - Ham, egg and chips for us all.

Tuesday - Smoked salmon and Celeriac Dauphiniose. Going to try this with ham for the boys.

 Smoked salmon and celeriac dauphinoise

 Wednesday - Quorn burgers and wedges for us all.

 Thursday - Oven baked mushroom risotto, based roughly on this one. Pasta for the boys as they are not fans of rice.

    I am looking forward to half term too! I can't wait for a break from the routine. Comfort food is needed at this time of year. Ham, egg and chips is such a simple meal but so good! x

    Yay, an extra day off school with the inset day ! I've obviously been missing out on cooked celeriac - for all these years living in France, I've eaten it raw and grated, in celery remoulade, but never thought about cooking it. That's two menu plans with cooked celeriac - I need to investigate !

    Meatballs are the perfect comfort food! I sometimes add cheese inside ours for a treat :)

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...
