Here we go:
Sunday: Homemade Lasagne with garlic bread and extra veggies
Monday: Spanish Omelette
Tuesday: At Mum's and she's doing a yummy chicken casserole
Wednesday: Sweet and Sour Chicken with Noodles (already in the freezer, waiting to defrost)
Thursday: Jacket Potatoes with Beans and Bacon
Friday: Potentially doing a buffet as family up, but if not then meatballs with bacon and tomato pasta
Saturday: As above, could either be Friday or Saturday
Sunday: Roast Chicken with all the trimmings. If it turns out we're going out anywhere, then I'll make sure there are some nice bread rolls in and griddle some chicken breasts for some tasty hot chicken sandwiches - perfect with a dollop of mayo and some salad!
Snacks are dried and fresh fruit (a lovely new addition to our household as DH2B decided he prefers it to biscuits - yay!), and lunches will be sandwiches or leftovers from the previous night's meal. I'm also hoping to make some low-fat apricot cake bars and some low-fat banana muffins, too! We're on a real health kick getting ready for the wedding.
Have a good week, everyone
