In April I was grateful for... #365DaysOfGratitude

I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in and have on my private Facebook account every day and I thought I would share here too. I am hoping to continue it for the rest of the year and longer.

Day 120 of #365DaysOfGratitude 

Today I am grateful for a family night in front of TV. 

What were you grateful for in April?

Our weekly meal plan! 2nd - 8th May. #MealPlanningMonday

Last weeks meal plan went well, I think I have perfected my home made quiche. It is so simple to make shortcrust pastry for the base and then the filling. I think I am going to have to buy a proper quiche baking tray thingy though, I have just been using a casserole bowl lid. lol We had home made fish & chips on Friday night and I got the Harry Ramsden's chips from Iceland and they were amazing, I will be buying them again.

About half an hour before writing this blog post I finished the online food shop and I am now having to go back to it and check what we're eating this week. lol I am blaming the kids, as I was finishing the order they were shouting out that we needed random things. Doughnuts, crisps, pop, all the unhealthy stuff. I couldn't refuse getting the doughnuts though. hehehe

I am trying an interesting recipe this week: Pringles Chicken. The kids both saw it on TikTok and said I have to make it. It actually looks quite good and it's something a little different. You crush a ton of Pringles up, coat the chicken in beaten eggs and then dip them into the crushed Pringles. It said to cook them in an air fryer but we don't have one but the oven will do the same thing.

On the menu this week we have:

Monday - Honey glazed gammon, baby potatoes, carrots and broccoli.

Tuesday - Easy tuna pasta.

Wednesday - Pringles chicken and potato wedges.

Thursday - Sausage meatball-melt loaded pittas.

Friday - Pizza. We might make our own.

Saturday - Bacon & leek tart with potato salad. I recipe I have previously made from Gousto.

Sunday - A roast dinner of some sort.

What are you eating this week?

Little lambs. #MySundaySnapshot

Spring has sprung and there are signs of it popping up everywhere. My garden is looking great with plants and flowers growing. The bees are starting to appear and butterflies too. The weather hasn't been the best over the past week, it's been quite chilly but the sun has 

The sheep disappeared from the field nearby a few weeks ago but now they're back with their new additions. The lambs are just adorable.
