Menu Planning Monday.

Hola folks, yet another week in this god-awful weather, I for one cannot wait for some warmth and sun! I feel it in my skin, body, chest and mood, so spring returning sees a huge improvement all round - no more asthma, acne, depression or numb digits! And no MrsM, no snow for us down on the coast!

This week is as follows;

Monday - polenta crusty chicken and bacon Caesar salad (from Jamie's 15 minute meals)

Tuesday - turkey and cabbage madras (a true leftovers meal, from Sunday lunch and the very last piece of the Christmas turkey!)

Wednesday - Vietnamese meatballs with a tangy carrot salad and lettuce wraps

Thursday - Something with prawns for me, usual kebab for The Husband after his pub cycling night out 

Friday - kids are having home-made chicken nuggets, peas and skinny fries, we are having a lamb and aubergine tagine; first time we've used the lovely terracota tagine my sister bought us for Chrimbo

Saturday - pheasant. That's as far as I've got with that meal, I have a freshly shot one in the freezer and thinking about pot-roasting it with lots of red wine

Sunday - possibly a roast, again it's too far away to think about properly

Have not had the best of weeks as far as diet is concerned, the Chinese takeaway that sneaked through the door on Saturday was the culprit - or can I blame the kids who didn't like theirs so I had to eat it? For the very time ever whilst on the WeightWatchers program, am probably not going to my weigh-in tomorrow night; to be fair it's forecast to pour with rain here and The Husband will have the car at work - and I'm not dragging the kids a mile up the road in the pitch dark just to climb on the scales. Fingers crossed for a double-whammy weight loss next week instead!


Just a quick edit to say that Jamie's polenta Caesar was excellent and very quick - and can be tweaked very easily to make it low in points!
