The whole world is still very crazy at the moment and now the kids are at home and we have to be very careful with our eldest who is a type 1 diabetic. We have mums who need to be asked a lot if they have enough food and what food they have it is really rather stressful times for us all.
I am still being careful with what we buy and trying to not buy too much, though with the kids being at home this is going to be hard. We did this weekend buy a pasta machine, with all this pasta shortage we thought it was a new skill we could learn and I managed to get some flour delivered in the shop.
As the boys are not at school I will be getting them to do more with the cooking and meal preparation. I think its a good opportunity to allow them to have skills they may not have done at school. We have also been starting off our seeds for this years GYO. The chickens are laying eggs who knew how vital they would have become though my amazing farm shop has lots, all our meals mid week we can get what we need from the farm shop and can change and alter as needed.
Friday - Smoked mackerel salad with beetroots and roasted potatoes
Saturday - Chicken burgers with chips and salad
Sunday - Charlie Bighmas meal for mothers day
Monday - Chicken and mushroom pie now this is going to be quorn strips as I could not get any chicken. I am using some condensed soup for the sauce. With a puff pastry top. A made up meal.
Tuesday - Cheese and ham Croquettes this looked lovely and trying to find more potato based meals. Found this online and the whole website has some brilliant ideas.
Ham cheese potato croquettes
Wednesday - Meatballs and home made spaghetti
Thursday - Gammon, Egg and Chips

It's all changing day by day at the minute isn't it! I've got Hello Fresh booked for a few weeks now just so we have less meals to worry about.

DeleteAhh! I am on with thinking I should try to make our own Pasta. I am just watching them make it on This Morning.
ReplyDeleteOur farm shop is keeping us in fresh fruit and veg too. It's been a life saver.
Great meal plan. I love the sound of the chicken & mushroom pie. x
The chicken and mushroom pie sounds great - I just made a dish that sounded very strange but turned out lovely, using soup with chicken (and lots of other bits) then topped with crisps. Tasted better than it sounds ! Good luck with the homemade pasta :)
