Meal Plan Friday 27th March 2020

Wow we have not been out of the front gate for a week now it is feeling a little bit groundhog day and it has only been a week. Thank goodness we have some sunshine.

 Meal planning is kind of odd at the moment, I am thinking of meals and seeing what gets delivered and then going from there. Last week we were meant to have chicken and mushroom pie, no chicken so had to do a tuna pie which was not too bad.

 We have a couple of online deliveries left and then no more, I am not sure how they are being taken so quickly, I even logged on a midnight and it said full one min later. 

 What has come from this how little food we are wasting. We are hiving more random use up lunches but this is no bad thing.  

 Friday - Tortilla pizzas ever since we tried the pinch of nom one we have loved them so ours is their cheeseburger pizza one with added American mustard. The boys make their own up.

 Saturday - Spiced Halloumi burger the boys are having chicken burgers

 Sunday - Mushroom and pork Stroganoff - I kind of make this up as i go along.

 Monday - Breakfast Hash - I have potatoes that I need to make sure I use up. This is for us all.

 Breakfast hash bacon eggs

 Tuesday - Salmon, beetroot and lentils. Fish, mash and peas for the boys.

 Mustardy salmon beetroot and lentils

 Wednesday - Thai ether quorn or chicken curry with mango

 Quorn thai red curry with mango

 Thursday - Chilli bowls with nachos - Chiili made from a packet sauce

    I think it is mostly the Click & Collect slots that are open at midnight, but I might be wrong, I was able to get a C&C one, luckily my husband is out working anyay so he can collect.

    I hope you and your family are keeping well x

    It's a nightmare trying to get home deliveries. I have a Lidl not far from the house so I'm still going there once a week. Love the sound of what you have planned - finger crossed everything arrives !

    It does feel odd meal planning at the moment. I am trying to use what I have in. The tuna pie sounds interesting.
    I love the sound of the breakfast hash and the Chilli bowls x

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...

Meal Plan Saturday 18th June 2016

The weeks are just flying by at the moment. Last weeks meal plan went ok, the cheesy broccoli, ham and pasta bake was great even though I changed the meal massively from that on BBC Good Food. I adored the Pea Pakoras the boys not so much,  we will give them another go. The toad in the hole was for Mr and Mrs MC&W tasty and for once I cooked it well, boys loved the Yorkshire puddings but sausages are still not going down to well. This week is very busy so we are having a few quick and easy or throw it in the oven and leave to cook meals. We also have baby ZAP beginning to wean so putting his first few tastes on the meal plan as well. Busy times ahead. I am using as I did with both the boys Annabel Karmels ideas to start with and then doing a combination of baby lead weaning. This dual way worked well with both OEP and ATM. This week it's all about a few first tastes as he has had a few days on baby rice now and it's time to move on a little. I will also be starting to...

Feeding a Bee with sugar water

Have you ever been in the garden and seen a sad looking bee on the ground not really moving? You watch it for a while realising the poor little chap is really struggling. I have found several bees like this and tried to feed them sugar water. But my attempts to rescue them mainly ended with me trying to drown them, I was really not aiding them during their time of need. But I have finally developed a method that works so I thought I would share. Mix together white sugar with a little water so that it completely dissolves, RSPB suggests 2 tablespoons of sugar with one tablespoon of water. I used desert spoons but the same ratio. The advice is never to use honey or brown sugar.  This is what worked for me, move the bee to a paving stone, I used a strong leaf they tend to walk onto it, if not you can easily slide it under them, then drip a small amount of the sugar water in front of the bee. The bee will start to drink the sugar water and you will see it begin to get stronger. It...
