Is that a take-away with Dutch friends, PP, or Dutch food? If it's the food I'd be intrigued to know what you're having - I don't know what Dutch food is like and I'm hopelessly curious about such things!

Hi everyone, I haven't posted a meal plan before, as we often fall off the wagon, so hoping if its all in black and white on here it might make sure I stick to it

F-oxtail stew with potato, rosemary and onion gratin, with kale
Sa-Lightly smoked salmon, brocolli, sweetcorn and leek pie
Su-Burgers, with corn on the cob and wedges
M-Porcini and pancetta risotto
Tu-Chicken stew with mash and cabbage
W-moussaka and salad (and rice if we really hungry!)
Th-Beef, brocolli and pak choi noodle soup
Fr-pasta with sausages, mustard and cream (inspired by nigel
) and probably some greens in there too as i love cabbage with mustard and cream, may not work but hey its good for me 0 -
I said I wasn't going to post this week as I'm off on holiday on Monday, but I've had to do a change of plan for the three days I am here:
Tonight - pasta with bacon, pesto and courgettes (it was supposed to macaroni cheese with veg but I forgot I needed the cheese for the sauce and ate it in a sandwich for lunch a couple of days ago
)
Tomorrow - pizza and salad at home, as the friend I was supposed to be going out with for her birthday has decided she "doesn't fancy a night out after all" :rolleyes:. (Sorry for the sarcasm, but she's one of those people who is always cancelling arrangements at the last minute, then complains she never gets to go out anywhere!)
Sunday - steak with jacket potato and roast tomatoes (if the ones on the plant are ripe by then - they're nearly there!)
Damn, I'm hungry now, and it's still ages until lunchtime.

Hi everyone. This week snacks and puds can be fresh or dried fruit, cheese (got a lovely range of local stuff in to try:j) crackers, breadsticks, digestives, popcorn, yoghurt, ice cream or semolina (last 3 just for puds obviously
)
Baby will be having avocado, banana, pear, ground rice or whatever veg we are having at lunch/dinner - she is loving her food and would demolish an entire banana if I wasn't worried about her tiny little tum holding it all!
I haven't decided whether to make muesli or granola later so have just put cereal. I also plan on trying to find time to make some sorbet with the fruity tea bags I'm not keen on as a drink - they are a bit too intense and sweet just for drinking but think the flavour will work well as a sorbet.

L: Organic chicken salad sandwich, nuts and grapes
Black bean burritos with salad
SUNDAY
