Hi everyone, missed last week as we went away for a few days. Back this week, trying to make a plan of not using the oven in the hot weather so it’s not the most adventurous/healthy but needs must!Today- using up part packs from the freezer, fish less fingers, nuggets, chips etc with peas
Tuesday- slow cooker unstuffed peppers
Wednesday- tomato pasta with sweet corn and veg sticks
Thursday- Beans on toast
Friday- Veg kebab wraps and salad
Saturday- hot dogs & noodles with broccoli
Sunday- Faggots, chips and mushy pea .. supposed to be abit cooler here, if not this will be changed.
breakfast is weetabix. Going to try the kids with overnight oats aswell this week.Lunches - cheese and cucumber wholemeal wraps with carrot sticks for most of the week, will improvise when these run out.2 -

This week's been so far unorganised as I had visitors staying over to Monday evening and there were lovely outtings and a meal out to distract me. That's my excuse!
Mon - Chinese meal out (absolutely delicious and far too much food)
Tues - I asked for doggy bags for all the leftovers so that was dinner
Wed - scrambled egg on toast as I'm wilting and have nothing prepared
Thur - pasta with freezer bolognaise, salad
Fri - Dhal from the freezer, rice and I think I'll stick veg / potatoes in the slow-cooker to make a spicy dry-style curry side.
Sat - HM pizza night - yeh! I love making bread dough and eating carbs
Sun - Something with chicken pieces - maybe chasseury or fricassee like
I had to google spanakopitaand it reminded me there is filo in the freezer and feta looking for a home. I've also been perusing French recipes and fancy a Limoges style potato pie so I can see pastry n' pies in the near future!
Have a good week everyone.3 -
