Now this is something that a few of my friends do, with a link to the fabulous Mrs M's blog - just hope I do it all properly!
I've menu-planned on and off for years, and it's something that a) means we eat a better variety of food, b) cuts down the shopping bill and c) ensures that we end up cooking proper meals rather than just chucking the contents of the fridge into a pan. Last year I completed a 365 photography challenge based around Food & Drink and I was looking back at some of the photos last night - reminded me how well we ate when I had to produce photographic evidence!
So, with a renewed determination to eat nicer meals as well as shift a few lbs, here is this week's entry, to be eaten in no particular order;
Jersey Royal, bacon and broad bean salad with tarragon mayo
Chinese chicken noodle soup - will be very hot'n'spicy
Mediterranean chicken stew with salsa verde
Tortilla pizzas (with salami and peppers for the kids, salami, rocket and artichoke hearts for us)
Saturday we're out at a friends for dinner
Sunday will be a roast of some sort, probably pork after all the chicken we've had during the week
I realise that is only 6 days worth, but tomorrow I will be in hospital for a minor op and the Husband is having filled pasta from my freezer stash!

Mediterranean chicken stew sounds gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteHi there - found your blog through Mrs M's Menu Planning linky, and had to laugh when I read your About Me on the sidebar, as you sound like my kinda gal!! Your Jersey Royal etc salad sounds lovely - had totally slipped my mind that it's Jersey Royal time of year, as it's so damn cold and wet still. Now I've found you, I shall be back to visit again - it's nice to find another wine-loving blogger! Caroline x
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline! The jersey royal salad was amazing and very simple - even the Husband managed to cook it perfectly!
