Last weeks meal plan went well. I did swap a couple of days around. I woke up on Wednesday not feeling too great, I had caught Becky's cold so thought the Chicken & Almond Curry would be perfect to have and it was. It was full of flavour and a little bit spicy which was just what I needed. I am over the cold now, it wasn't a big one or long lasting one! Phew!
This week is half term, a week off college for Ellie and as of writing this we don't have any plans at all. It's not a bad thing, she wants to relax and have a few lazy mornings but I am sure we will find something to do on the afternoons. I've decided to have a break from the Gousto boxes, there wasn't lots of meals that we fancied this week and with us not knowing what we're doing it's going to be easier not to spend money on food that we might not eat.
Ellie seems to have changed over the last few weeks when it comes to food. She has never been a big salad fan but loves it now, even cucumber and she would only eat mushrooms if they were hidden in meals but now she has decided that she loves them. She even had them on a fried breakfast last week. Now she's made a list of mushroom things that she wants. Garlic mushrooms, the big cheese and garlic stuffed mushrooms and she's got it into her head that she wants to try mushroom soup. I think that's because once Becky had it at the pub and said it was amazing. I think freshly made mushroom soup and some out of a tin is going to be slightly different.
On the menu this week we have:
Monday - A fry up! Bacon, sausages, eggs, black pudding, hash browns, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast.
Tuesday - Loaded waffle pizza fries. Sort of like this. Waffle fries topped with pizza sauce, onions, pepperoni, salami and cheese.
Wednesday - Sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice. The sauce is just coming from a jar and when I sorted the freezer out the other week I was shocked with how much chicken we had.
Thursday - Jacket potatoes with either baked beans and cheese or tuna. We will decide what we fancy at the time.
Friday - Fish finger sandwiches.
Saturday - Hot dogs in buns with fries and onion rings.
Sunday - Pie, mashed potato and vegetables.
What are you eating this week?
It's great to hear you got over your cold fast! Ellie's list of mushroom things sounds delicious. I love mushrooms, and sometimes I will just eat them fried on toast. So good!
ReplyDeleteThat fabulous that Ellie is loving so many veggies. I WISH my boys liked cooked mushrooms at all; they are one of my favorites and I have to often cook some up on the side just for me or else they have to pick them out of the dish.
