As we enter another week of uncertain times my meal plans are showing me how good it is to plan what as a family we eat and need. I also realised I operate in a very last-minute system. I order what I need, but I do not really operate a store cupboard, I grew up with a mum who always had extra of everything but I have got out of that routine. This whole C word virus has made me think about this shopping method.
I also have used a couple of cans of condensed soup again used by my mum a lot easy way to make a creamy mushroom or tomato sauce and you can add loads of flavour to them as well.
We are still being careful to order what we need but this can be hard when listening to the news, the Ocado app has been down for days I have an order with one bottle of expensive gin in that I can not change (well may come in useful when the schools close hahaha)...
Friday - Scampi and Chips and peas the boys are having fish fingers
Saturday - Fajitas good old El Passo for us
Sunday - Toad in the hole for us all
Monday - Tuna pasta bake - hopefully the pasta will arrive.
Tuesday - Cajun Dirty Rice from Pinch of Nom
Wednesday - Ham and Potato cakes with giant baked beans all from Pinch of Nom the boys will have a salad.
Wednesday - Honey and Soy noodles roughly based on this one below.
Honey soy chicken noodle stir fry

I'm sure you could refuse the gin at your door if you need to x Hopefully it won't come to that though! Take care and thanks for linking up - hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI managed to get it sorted which was very welcome
DeleteI save my slots with Gin too! It used to be toilet roll but ended up with £60 once. Although some people are probably doing that now! Some lovely sounding meals. x
ReplyDeletehahaha so true, think we would need the gin more when the school is closed
DeleteI'm intrigued by the giant baked beans ?! Fingers crossed you sort your shopping out xx
ReplyDeleteThey are butterbeans in a homemade tomato sauce but could not get butter beans so had to do cannelini
DeleteI really struggled to get my shopping delivered this week. I ended up getting it from Iceland so I did at least stock the freezers up.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of my favourite meals this week. Scampi & chips is my all time favourite. I could just eat it now x
it is such lovely comfort food just what we need at the moment
