Meal Plan Friday 24th April 2020

Last week I was feeling pretty fed up about meal planning and delivery slots. I decided to have a little look around online and try and find some new meal ideas. I stumbled upon Olive website and found lots of new ideas to try. I even managed to get a couple of delivery slots but that stress still remains.

 Here is what we are having this week and lets hope we start to see some small glimmers of light at the end of the tunnel.

Friday - Our farm shop does the most amazing burgers and this is how Mr MC&W and I will have them the boys will have them with some cheese and salad.

 Beetroot and horseradish beef burger 

Saturday - Orange Chicken from pinch of nom sounded like a meal we could all really enjoy.

 Sunday - Sausage Casserole for us all - 

 Gnocchi with peas pesto and spinach

 Parmesan pancetta and pea cream gnocchi

 Tuesday - We have never had meatball subs before but sounds fun and messy hahaha

 Meatball sub melts

 Wednesday - We love an omelette here and this sounds a lovely new way to have it, we will have it with a salad. Boys will have a simple cheese (cheddar) one

 Open faced omelette with garlic mushrooms and taleggio

 Thursday - Cheats Chicken Pilaf I will use some microwave rice and add in more veggies

    I can't wait to get back out to farm shops etc (they're quite a drive from our house so not really local sadly!) Hope you're keeping well! x

    We are struggling too somewhat with our meals. We always seem to be eating the same things.
    Your meals sound wonderful though and I love the sound of orange chicken.

    I hope you manage to get some proper delivery slots soon. I really do understand the stress it causes. It's good you've found some new meal ideas though.
    Those burgers really do sound delicious and my family love meatballs subs. They are messy but they're so good.
    Have a great week x

    I highlighted a recipe for meatball subs too - sounds very tasty. You've just reminded me that I haven't made an omelette for ages - hmmmm that needs to be done, while I've got some eggs !

    I kind of want to come round to your house to eat! Sounds amazing. We have just managed to get grocery deliveries sorted because my daughter's gp wants us to protect her whilst we get her asthma under control which is a huge relief. I hope you get yours sorted

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...
