Last week seemed like it really dragged but at the same time it flew over! I spent a lot of it stressing about things that really weren't worth my time and energy, like the buses running late because of the icy roads, Ellie's heart check-up which went well and they will see her again in two years and then I spent a night listening to the wind worrying about the damage it was causing, there was none! This week is a new week and so far I can't think of anything that needs worrying about and it's going to be a fully back to normal week with everyone where they should be.
Last weeks meal plan went really well. We ate everything apart from the fish fingers on Friday. I had been out at my dad's for most of the day, a lot longer than I had planned and it was lovely. He showed me the work he had been doing on his vintage car, his workshop which is getting a makeover and his new tractor thing which he is very proud of. He's still very busy considering he was retiring about 3 years ago. lol By the time I had got home and warmed up, I didn't feel like cooking so we got a takeaway. So much for not getting takeaways but it felt needed and in our defence, we didn't eat out on Thursday so it felt like a bit of girl math. Not spending money on eating out means we could get the takeaway.
On the menu this week we have:
Monday - Gousto Meal - Marmite Beef & Onion Pastry Pie With Peas!
A nice, hearty meal which seemed perfect for the weather we've been having but today is supposed to be a lot warmer. If the weather forecast is to believed it's going to be around 10°C, that's practically spring weather! This beef and onion pie is slow cooked in Marmite enriched gravy. Marmite is something we don't usually love but I've used it in a few Gousto recipes and it has have always gone down well.
Tuesday - Gousto Meal - Southern Thai-Style Chicken Panang Curry!
This is a new recipe to us and it sounds interesting. A fragrant curry inspired by Southern Thai cuisine. With a punchy panang-style sauce with chicken, peanut butter, coconut and red curry paste served with rice and crispy onions.
Wednesday - Gousto Meal - Smoky Hunters Chicken With Sweet Potato Mash & Greens!
Another new recipe for us. Chicken smothered in a smoky BBQ sauce with plenty of cheese. Served with sweet potato mash and garlicky greens.
Thursday - Omelette!
Hopefully I am back on track with getting the grocery delivery delivered on Friday so Thursday will be about using up leftovers out of the fridge and popping them into an omelette.
Friday - Fish fingers, chips and baked beans!
We'll try this meal again. Fish fingers out of the freezer, homemade chips and tinned baked beans.
Saturday - Gousto meal - Creamy Sausage & Red Onion Tart!
Flaky puff pastry topped with soft cheese, caramelised red onions and sausage! We have had this meal before and we really do enjoy it.
Sunday - Sausages, mashed potatoes and vegetables!
Easy and filling. A perfect way to end the week.
