Menu Planning Monday.


Woo hoo, it's February! Time for some better weather, lighter meals (maybe!), spending more time outdoors - and my daughter's birthday next week! Just as well I don't like cake, as she's having 2 parties therefore 2 cakes;)

But this week we have the following planned; sorry about the continued overload of Jamie Oliver dishes but we've been thoroughly impressed with all the ones we've tried so far. I even took some photos over the last week which I'll blog another day.

Monday - Jamie's spiced chicken with asparagus, spinach and lentils
Tuesday - my turn to cook so it's spaghetti with pesto
Wednesday - Jamie's Korean fried rice with steak, mushrooms and a fried egg
Thursday - on my lonesome so whatever I can find in the fridge
Friday - curry night! Not 100% sure what we'll have but we're trying to turn Friday into a joint effort in the kitchen, open plenty of wine and beer and spend time together rather than being slobbed on the sofa in front of the telly on our 'puters! There's stewing steak in the fridge so thinking about a beef shatkora, plus The Husband bought some shitake mushrooms today so will be several side-dishes too.
Saturday - leaving free for now
Sunday - roast pork and all the trimmings 

Now off you pop to see what MrsM has planned...

  2. Be interested to hear what the chicken with asparagus and lentils is like - I've had my eye on that one to try for a few weeks but haven't got round to it yet. How did you get on with the chicken laksa last week?

    1. It was nice, but the asparagus didn't go that well with such a spicy dish (The Husband chilli-ed it up a bit!). The chicken laksa was lovely though, plenty for leftovers for 2 lunches too which pleased me no end! xx
