Meal Planning Monday - the real Easter holidays edition!

I know, I know.  I didn't post last week. No idea why - just insanely busy. I did a meal plan though and we ate well. Nothing special - toad in the hole was the children's highlight of the week.

I have cobbled something together for this second week of the holidays. And we are all off. Husband is off work, I'm off work and the children off school. They spent 4 days of last week back at school at a holiday club, whilst I got through a week of year end. They had a ball but it did make them very tired as they played about 4 different sports every day. It was like a week full of PE lessons! This week is going to be quiet, home time and down time.

The plan is writ and the food is all bought, courtesy of a trip to the supermarket with Missy Woo on Sunday afternoon.

Monday - Boerenkool Stamppot
Tuesday - Chicken pasta bake
Wednesday - Beef enchiladas
Thursday - Sweet potato and ginger soup
Friday - Slow cooker bacon joint, probably with egg and chips
Saturday - Keeping free (also known as making it up)
Sunday - Roast dinner

Don't forget there are more meal plans over at Mrs M's which you can discover by clicking on the badge top right.

Meal Planning Monday - a winter holiday edition!

Yes, I'm on leave this week as I have a lot of leave to use before the end of the year. Of course, I am supposed to be having a quiet week but no. We're going out on Monday night (that's just the grown ups). Tuesday morning, I'm on a course. Wednesday afternoon, I'm spending in school. And Thursday, I'm planning a Christmas shop to Ikea and Costco. Am I bonkers?

(Don't answer that.)

Anyway......

I think we're having a fairly standard week if you ignore the fact that the grown ups are going out for dinner on Monday night. Monkey has been nagging at me for weeks to make sushi so I have promised we will do this on Tuesday as the children come home later and I will have time to prepare everything. Oh yes, Monkey is having a friend come home for tea on Friday which is currently the only day we can do that in the week. Really.

Monday - Fishfingers, beans and chips for the children
Tuesday - Sushi a la Monkey
Wednesday - Boerenkool Stamppot
Thursday - Butties
Friday - Chickeny stuff for the children, Cheesy broccoli orzo for the grown ups
Saturday - Sweet and sticky wings
Sunday - Roast pork etc
