Surely it can't be the end of the week again already?! :eek:

Here's my plan for the coming week - it's actually the third plan I've done but, once it's posted, it tends to stay fairly fixed (well, fixed-ish, if I stick to it ).

Friday - prosciutto and smoked mozzarella pizza with tomato, rocket and parmesan salad (it's an attempt to recreate a wonderful meal I had on holiday last year - if it comes out even half as tasty I'll be pretty pleased)
Saturday - cheese and onion crispbakes (ready made), LO beany bake (currently in the freezer), steamed purple sprouting broccoli
Sunday - HM ploughman's sausage roll and salad
Monday - sausage and baked bean casserole
Tuesday - sausage meatballs in cheese and tomato sauce, HM garlic bread
Wednesday - smoked mackerel kedgeree (well, it's sort of kedgeree-ish, anyway!)
Thursday - pasta with leeks, sun dried tomatoes and blue cheese

Lunches will be sandwiches, and I plan to make some fruity flapjacks with the remains of a box of slightly stale breakfast cereal I found lurking in the back of the cupboard.

What's everyone else having, then?

The weeks definitely seem to be coming around quicker! Not long until the clocks go back though and the nights get lighter :T

I'm starting full time work next week as part of my college course. It's the 'work placement' bit of it. Basically I work for a company (the training providers actually :rotfl:) for 4 weeks and if it all works out for both parties then I'll be fully employed. I did originally want part time work to ease me back into the swing of it as it were but I would love this job. Menu planning is more important for me than ever now.

We are having:

Monday - Chilli & Rice

Tuesday - Sausage Casserole - made in the slow cooker with the potatoes added so it's an easy one pot meal ready to serve when I get in

Wednesday - Treat of Takeaway :T

Thursday - Stuffed Baked Potatoes with Beans

Friday - Spaghetti Bolognaise with Garlic Bread

Saturday - Minestrone Soup with Crusty Rolls followed by Cheesecake

Sunday - Lunch: Grilled Chicken Breasts with Chilli & Garlic, Roasted Plantains, Red Rice and Mixed Salad with Olives

Sunday - Tea: Tuna or Salmon Sandwich with a Carrot Salad

On the course are two fabulous cooks - they brought in a selection of food for everyone today as a celebration of us finishing the initial bit. Oneof the ladies is from Jamica and the other is from Africa and the food was amazing :T:T Our Sunday lunch is inspired from their recipes which I have been busily scribbling down for the past month I've been getting fed up of the usual Sunday roast so am giving something a little bit different a whirl.

I haven't done any baking at all this week and have resorted to buying stuff for the children to snack on. I still cook our evening meal though so I'm not worrying too much or making myself feel guilty.

Happy cooking everyone!

SunnyGirl- Best of luck on your placement, hope it all goes swimmingly and you're taken on in the end.
