Last weeks meal plan went really well, we ate everything that I had planned and the day that I had planned too. I'm getting the hang of this meal planning after years of doing it. hehehe It is hard to pick one favourite meal this week as everything was loved and I even enjoyed cooking everything! Sometimes there’s one dish that doesn’t quite work out or someone isn’t in the mood for it but that wasn’t the case this time.
When I sat down to plan this week’s meals I had to check the calendar twice because for a moment I thought it was already half term. It feels like October has flown by. I realised there’s still one more week before the break from college for Ellie. It’s been a bit confusing this year because some of the local schools have decided to take two weeks off for half term instead of one. Next week all my family will be home, off work and college at the same time which will be lovely. We had made a few plans for half term originally but with some things happening recently we decided it would be better to postpone them. It’s disappointing when that happens but sometimes it’s for the best. We’re already making new plans so it's not all bad.
Over the weekend when my Gousto box arrived Stu helped to carried it inside but then he decided to "help" unpack it too. I have a bit of a system when it comes to unpacking the box, I like to sort things in a certain order so that it’s easier to find what I need later. Stu’s version of unpacking is more of a just get everything out and put it somewhere approach which completely threw me off. Even Ellie said he should probably just let me do it my way. It did make me laugh though and it was nice that he wanted to help. I think it’s one of those small moments that you end up remembering even if it slightly tested my patience at the time!
On the menu this week we have:
Monday - Gousto meal - Creamy Chicken, Leek & Carrot Pie. I think I am going to make some mashed potato to go with this because pie without mash just feels wrong.
Tuesday - Gousto meals - Chicken Satay Noodles. We loved this the last time we had it and it is so quick to make as the chicken is already cooked and the noodles only take a few minutes.
Wednesday - Gousto meal - One Pot Baked Pork Stroganoff Tortiglioni.
Thursday - Red onion and bacon tart with mini roast potatoes.
Friday - Fish fingers, chips and baked beans. A no fuss Friday tea that we all love!
Saturday - Gousto meal - Hot Honey Bacon & Fried Egg Pancakes.
Sunday - A Sunday lunch of some sort.
That’s our plan for the week! What about you? What are you eating this week?
