It seems like the week has flown by - I know I posted last week's entry late, but because it's the school holidays time is just zipping by, I know it! We're keeping things to a bare minimum, a few park trips, the library, hanging out, plenty of quiet time, a little Spanish learning ~ nothing too ambitious, I assure you, and most things with a baby girl on my hip! I'm not trying to cook new dishes at this time, we're still fairly much in survival mode, and I've been pestered to bake but it has been too hot for the oven as yet, although I foresee Melting Moment cookies in my future!
Meat Free Monday ~ Vegetable Curry with Saag Aloo, Basmati Rice, Plain & Peshwari Naan with vegetable samosas and Indian sweets purchased from a shop in Hyson Green, nearby to a new(ish) playpark which we may visit if the weather is fine, or if not just check in at the New Art Exchange gallery.
Tuesday ~ Chicken and chips (I'm roasting a whole organic chicken today to last as much of the week as it can)
Wednesday ~ Coq Au Vin with rice and garlic bread. This sounds really ambitious and it is a new thing for me, but it will be made with leftover cooked chicken, garlic, onion and mushrooms, cooked in red wine and chicken stock - exactly the same as last month's chicken chasseur which I made with white wine and was delish!
Thursday ~ Tortilla Wraps/Quesadillas - let's see if I can make that rubber chicken stretch three meals! If not I have onion and red pepper, refried beans, soured cream, salsa, guacamole and lettuce to accompany.
Fishy Friday ~ Cheesy mixed fish bake (haddock, smoked haddock, salmon) with fries & garden peas
Saturday ~ Pizza night. 3rdSister has her 3rd birthday party this afternoon so I don't want to be thinking about food.
Sunday ~ Outing and picnic at White Post Farm, for Rebecca's birthday treat, followed by McDonalds :-)
Inspire and be inspired by other bloggers by visiting over at Mrs M's!

ReplyDeleteI'm really not sure the chicken will last 3 meals this week...thank goodness for guacamole and refried beans!
DeleteEverything sounds fab!
ReplyDeleteOhh tonight's meal sounds fantastic!!

Do you know what, I ate SO much including lots of various flavoured burfi sweets. Really glad I've got an appetite at the moment though!
DeleteHi, I've just realised you're in Nottingham! I'm originally from Nottingham myself though I moved up to Yorkshire when I started teaching. My Mum lives there though so we come back for regular visits and my children loved White Post Farm when they were young!I love the idea of the "rubber chickens". Great meal plans by the way!
ReplyDeleteJust seen your blog, Sam, so many lovely baked goods! Wondering whereabouts in Nottingham you are from? We are Hucknall, been here about 10 years after spells in Oxford, Manchester and a small village in County Durham.
