    Fri-Take-Away with friends (Dutch)

    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! :D:o

    Sa-Lightly smoked salmon, brocolli, sweetcorn and leek pie
    Su-Burgers, with corn on the cob and wedges

    Tu-Chicken stew with mash and cabbage
    W-moussaka and salad (and rice if we really hungry!)

    Fr-pasta with sausages, mustard and cream (inspired by nigel :D) and probably some greens in there too as i love cabbage with mustard and cream, may not work but hey its good for me

    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 :o)
    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. :(
    Back after a very long break!

    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.

    SATURDAY
    B: HM cereal, organic yoghurt, maple syrup and grated apple. Toast.
    L: Organic chicken salad sandwich, nuts and grapes
    D: Black bean burritos with salad

    SUNDAY
    B: As Saturday
    L: Organic egg and tomato salad wrap. Grapes and banana.
    D: Organic chicken casserole, potatoes and veg or salad depending on weather. Fruit salad with almonds.

    MONDAY
    B: Branflakes. Toast and strawberry jam. Orange or orange juice.
    L: Tuna and sweetcorn mayo pitta with salad. Pear.
    D: Wild mushroom tortellini, salad. Organic yoghurt and apple.

    TUESDAY
    B: Branflakes with sunflower seeds, almonds, raisins and sultanas. Banana
    L: Vegetable and bean soup with bread and organic butter.
    D: Fish pie with potatoes, broccoli and sweetcorn. Organic yoghurt.

    WEDNESDAY
    B: Pear and banana smoothie. Branflakes.
    L: Organic chicken and avocado wrap with strawberry and baby leaf salad.
    D: Keema with brown rice and salad.

    THURSDAY
    B: Branflakes with sunflower seeds, almonds, raisins and sultanas. Banana
    L: Hummus and organic cheese pitta with salad. Grapes.
    D: Vegetable burgers with baked potato, baked beans and mushrooms.

    FRIDAY
    B: Branflakes. Toast. Banana.
    L: Organic cheddar, tomato and onion pitta with salad. Organic yoghurt.
