Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I had high hopes for our meal plan last week but I really shouldn't have planned anything knowing that we were decorating the kitchen. We didn't eat many of the meals that I had planned but we did use the ingredients to make other things which were quicker and used less of the kitchen. We ate well, I might have got a bit ranty in the kitchen when things weren't where they should be, why would they? The microwave spent most of the week on the floor, the air fryer was on the dining room table and at one point I was sat in the living room peeling potatoes. At least I had easy access to all the cupboards as all the doors were taken off to be painted. lol
The kitchen is looking amazing though, I will have a blogpost with some before and after pictures soon. We have decided we could probably do with some different coloured lino as the brown is just not looking right in the kitchen now as it's mostly grey.
This week should be more back to normal, there's no more birthday's until November, the upheaval of decorating the kitchen is over with and I am determined to find more of a routine for myself. I seem to be all over the place with Stu and Becky having holidays from work. I've not found my groove yet but I am determined to by the end of this month.
On the menu this week we have:
Monday - Gousto meal - Chinese Style Chicken Curry With Egg Fried Rice And Chips.
Tuesday - Gousto meal - Pork & Beef Tacos With Charred Pepper & Herb Salsa.
Wednesday - Gousto meal - One Pot Rustic Sausage & Butter Bean Stew.
Thursday - Gousto meal - Cheeseburger Rice Bake With Saucy Relish.
Friday - Scampi, chips and peas.
Saturday - Pizza.
Sunday - A Sunday lunch of some sort.
What are you eating this week?
The Rustic Sausage and Butter Bean Stew sounds a bit like the French cassoulet which I love!
ReplyDeleteI bet you are glad that the kitchen makeover is done! It looks amazing though, so definitely worth the upheaval.
ReplyDeleteYummy meal plan. I put our Gousto on hold for a while because I wasn't sure what was SW friendly, but it turns out most of it is with a little tweaking. xx
I can see how painting the kitchen can slightly affect the meal plans. Haha! It looks lovely though and now you can go back to planning and enjoying it even more, in your new kitchen. xx
