I can't believe how much easier life is when I mealplan! I stuck to my plan 100% last week ... here's this weeks:

Sat: Chinese pork strips with wedges and peas (thanks Ariana for recipe!)

Sun: Special fried rice with chicken scraps- does this need to go with something???

Mon: Pumpkin muffins and puy lentils

Tues: Lamb chops and veg

Weds: Lasagne and GB

Thurs: slow cooked pork and onion scraps from freezer with mash

Fri: On the road from lunchtime - 7 hour journey so going to pack, muffins, cheese and onion pasties (hopefully - inspired by post earlier in week!), ham baguette (if H's HM ham turns out ok ), fruit and water. NO Stopping at services for anything other than wees and petrol

Sat : being fed by someone else = yay!!!!!

Sun: on road back again - hopefully with a load of scraps!

Have a delish week

ETA: Just done a cheese, onion and potato pasty experiment and they are fantastic (if I do say so myself!) I'm amazed and will be making them for all our festive journeys - yum!

Feta, olive and thyme muffins

Makes 10 using Lakeland muffin tray.

9 oz plain flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt or onion salt
1 teaspoon sugar
packet of feta cheese, crumbled
12 olives, chopped
2 teaspoons dried thyme*
1 egg
8 fl oz milk
3 fl oz vegetable oil

1. Mix together the dry ingedients.

2. In another bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and oil.

3. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry. The batter will be lumpy but no dry flour should be visibile.

4. Half fill muffin trays or tins. Bake for 25 minutes at 200 C until browned.

* This seems a lot but I keep herbs for a long time and they lose their flavour over time.

These freeze well.

A nice variation on this is to use grated strong cheddar instead of the feta and add any of the following (instead of the olives and thyme)- finely chopped celery, red/green peppers, carrot, sun dried tomatoes, onion or spring onion, use mixed herbs or marigold stock powder for flavouring.
