Last weeks meal plan went OK. I messed up when it came to having the omelette's. I had forgotten to buy eggs and no one was in the mood to go to the shop as it was a wet evening. We had fish fingers instead. The kids loved the Chicken Nugget Mashed Potato Bowls and they will be going on the menu again. Stu and I decided we didn't fancy them so had the sausages wrapped in bacon with apple traybake that we missed a couple of weeks ago. Everyone was happy!
I have started sneaking at least one veggie meal in a week and my family are not even realising. Last week they had veggie fajitas and no one asked where the meat was so this week I am going for 2 vegetarian meals. We're not turning veggie but sometimes it is good not to eat as much meat.
This week on the menu we have:
Monday - A casserole cooked in the slow cooker. I have diced pork and plenty of veg which needs using up.
Tuesday - Vegetable pasta bake.
Wednesday - Sausages, mash and baked beans.
Thursday - Mushroom rice bakes with Mediterranean style roasting vegetables which I got from the Tesco reduced section.
Friday - Waffle Pizza Fries. It's been a while since we had this and my family love this meal. It's so simple to make and makes a change from the normal pizza.
Saturday - Takeaway style Chicken Chow Mein with vegetable spring rolls.
Sunday - A roast dinner of some sort.
What are you eating this week?
Ooh I remember thinking those waffle pizza fries looked great last time, but we don't have them here so I'd need to come up with an alternative. That all sounds lovely - I'm trying to up our veg intake too. Pasta is definitely a simple way to do it (and stops the kids moaning ! lol)
ReplyDeleteThe waffle pizza fries is so good. I think it would work with any type of potato product. Fries, wedges or even chips. x
DeleteOh yeh are very good. I have no idea whatsoever. Waffle pizza fries does sound a nice change that the kids will eat too
ReplyDeleteThe waffle pizza fries are something different. Given the chance my kids would eat it every week x
DeleteYum! Looks like a tasty week. Waffle pizza fries. I've never seen the Mushroom Rice Bakes in the states, but they look tasty too.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am guessing the mushroom rice bakes must be easy to make it's just rice, mushrooms and cheese in breadcrumbs.
DeleteI think my boys would love Waffle Pizza Fries. They sounds like a real treat!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to be making lamb and apricot meatballs this week, which is always a winner. #MMBC
