Menu Planning Monday.



Blimey, Monday came around pretty quickly this week, doesn't time fly when you're having fun!

In no particular order; this week will hopefully be as follows;

Spicy tomato and lentil soup with ciabatta rolls
Jerk chicken with nutty slaw (although out of jerk seasoning so the Husband has chucked pesto on the chicken instead, the jury is out on this one at the moment)
Green cous-cous salad (with broad beans, peas, peppers and anything else green we can find in the fridge; it was meant to include watercress but he came home from the supermarket with cress instead - I haven't stopped laughing yet although hate cress so it'll better not end up on my plate!)
Lamb kleftiko with lemon roast potatoes
Ham hock and green bean salad (this is the one I'm most looking forward to)
Penne with courgettes, sage and parmesan

The pasta dish will definitely be eaten on Saturday evening as the Husband is doing a 54 mile charity bike ride on Sunday so needs to carbo-load. Am leaving Sunday evening free as he gets a takeaway for his efforts!

Now, let's see what Mrs M has planned for this week...


ETA The pesto-chicken and nutty slaw (minus the peanuts as he forgot to read the recipe) turned out very well in the end...
