Meal Planning Monday - 15 April


I'm sitting holding a newborn typing with one hand, so no preamble today, just what we're having:

Meat Free Monday - Ploughmans Salad (baguette, leaves, celery, tomato, cucumber, chutney, carrot etc)

Tuesday - Wraps with chicken, salsa, leaves & soured cream

Wednesday - Spaghetti Bolognese

Thursday - Chicken Salad

Friday - Battered fish, oven chips & mushy peas

Saturday - Pasta Carbonara

Sunday - Roast Pork & all the trimmings.

OK 4thSister is in her bassinet napping now - so can I just say, Abel&Cole have got ASPARAGUS available now so I look forward to that with a salad the week after next! So joyful about food now I'm postpartum - have been snaffling camembert and goat cheese this week (with restraint because of my tendency to gallstones)!

    1. It's 15 degrees and sunny this afternoon in Nottingham - so for once I called it right! Wouldn't you know though, that the ONE CRUCIAL THING I forgot to order for today's supermarket delivery was cheddar cheese, which I also need for tomorrow's dinner :-) This is SO typical of me whether I've just had a baby or not!

  4. Thanks! I can highly recommend Meat Free Monday, seems to particularly work well after meals out/roast dinners at the weekend, it always feels nice and healthy to start the week on. And I see you have a fussy eater too, I'm always looking out for new tips for that :-)

    1. Thanks, Kim. We often have a Ploughmans supper - have to say it wouldn't be the same without my (well Delia's!) Old Dowerhouse Chutney...

    1. Oh - you had me at rhubarb....I think that's my utterly favourite fruit. I love the new fruit and veg season - dare I say 'Spring', people?!
