Last week was a great week! Our meal plan couldn't really go wrong as there was a lot of eating out and eating from the freezer! I did cook corned beef hash, enough to last two days which served us well. We ate too much at the all you can eat place and lots of treats when we were at York Christmas Market including steak and chips, apple crumble and Yorkshire pudding wraps. Calories don’t count if you’re walking around while eating. hehehe. Later on in the day we were hungry but not hungry enough for a full meal from the pub so ordered a couple of sharing platters with chicken strips, garlic bread, duck spring rolls, cheese and potato balls and onion rings!
This week is all about getting back to a bit of normal before Christmas arrives but if this year is anything to go by Christmas will be here before we know it! This year has flown over! I don't have much planned for the week apart from a meal out with friends.
On the menu this week we have:
Monday - Stu is cooking!
It will be a surprise as Stu is doing the cooking. I am guessing it will include something with the leftover mashed potato from yesterday.
Tuesday - A help yourself evening!
I have a meal out with friends, our Christmas get together and we're having a full on Christmas feast with turkey and all of the trimmings and of course Christmas pudding! The rest of my family can help themselves to something to eat.
Wednesday - Sausage, apple and potato one pan roast!
I love a one pan roast and we all enjoy this one. The apples caramelise, the sausages brown up nicely, and the potatoes do their crispy little thing!
Thursday - Meat free sloppy Joes with potato salad!
We had this from Gousto ages ago and love it which sounds strange saying as my family are not usually keen on meat free meals.
Friday - Home made fish fingers with chips and peas!
A while ago I discovered how easy it was to make our own fish fingers through a Gousto recipe and they taste so much better than shop bought.
Saturday - Gousto meal - Hot Honey Bacon & Fried Egg Pancakes!
Breakfast for dinner, yes please! Buttermilk pancakes with crispy bacon, a fried egg and hot honey butter.
Sunday - Pie, mashed potato and vegetables.
We have pies in the freezer, I think mince and onion and steak one's so we'll have them with mash and probably carrots, peas and sweetcorn.
What are you going to be eating this week?
You ate so well at the York Christmas Market. The apple crumble looks good. I have never heard of Yorkshire pudding wraps!
ReplyDeleteThe sausage pan roast sounds really good as does your meal out with friends! It´s Thanksgiving week so there will be lots of really tasty food consumed :). Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYou had an epic "meal plan" last week but it always feels good to "get back to normal" after, doesn't it? I'm excited to try that sausage, potato and apple dish. It sounds delicious! Have a great wek!
ReplyDeleteWish I was close enough to crash a couple of your dinners! They always sound so good! Have a great week ahead!! My meal plans are all about Thanksgiving this week, and I plan on leftovers for the few days after! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteYou have me HUNGRY!!!!
ReplyDeleteTonight we are having a sausage and kale soup, with a hard bread on the side.
Your Tuesday sounds enjoyable. Glad your birthday week was so much fun! Have a great week ahead, visiting from #MMBC PS sorry I missed the link last week.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a delicious week last week and will enjoy some yummy meals this week too. We had to swap our menu around a bit this morning since I thought Alec and his roommate were arriving on Wednesday only to find out they'll be here for dinner tomorrow night too. Tonight we're having fish with quinoa and acorn squash, then tomorrow night I'm making burger and hot dogs with frozen fries, Wednesday will be a chicken fajita stir fry over rice and Thursday is thanksgiving. Friday will be leftovers... and I haven't planned anything beyond that but figure I'll probably have to food shop either Friday or Saturday anyway since most of our shopping was focused on all our Thanksgiving foods.
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over your food photo's, I really want to try the crumble from the Christmas markets.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a week of real comfort food planned and it all sounds delicious.
Have a lovely meal out with your friends x
