Meal Plan Friday 21st January 2022

 We have reached the final week of January. We have been doing dry January for the first time ever, I must admit it has been hard but not as hard as I thought it would be. Though I am looking forward to a glass of red. We have also been upping the exercise I say upping I have not done any in a long time, combine that with watching what we are eating and no drinking we have lost a couple of kilos each. 


Friday - Scampi, Chips and Peas. Nuggets for the boys.

Saturday - Spag Bol

Sunday - Slow roasted pork should, roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli and peas

Monday - Terikai Chicken from Pinch of Nom new book. I am going to try the boys with this one.

Tuesday - Tuna Pasta Bake

Wednesday - Hot Dogs 

Thursday - Mushroom Stroganoff. The boys have Stroganoff pasta as they do not like mushrooms but love the sauce. With some veggies on the side.
