I hate boring food. I want to cook new recipes and enjoy new things, but my family are so stuck in their ways. I really look forward to our Mindful Chef boxes as I know it means we are going to try something new, but I can only afford them fortnightly and there is only… Continue reading This Weeks Menu and we have a Boring Food Alert
Guess what? We have our oven fixed...over two weeks without an oven and I can honestly say it's not been good. I was so pleased when the technician turned up this morning and fixed it. I can finally start cooking things in my oven again. Last week went okay. We didn't get our toad-in-the-hole thanks… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan, Back in the Oven!
It's that time of the year when your trolley starts to fill with those little extras that you only buy at Christmas. I remember as a child, that my Mum would order a Christmas hamper full of tins and packets. We would be having soup for lunch every day, and there were staples such as… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan – Christmas Food
Last week I missed my meal plan and it was a bit of a nightmare. This week, I wrote a shopping list...go me I have my mojo back! I have worked out a meal plan and I shopped along with it. Hopefully this will mean that I won't be adding to my six bags of… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan Getting My Mojo Back
Oops I did it again!...no this is not another musical themed menu..I just forgot to plan last week. I think I was in a bit of a slump at the weekend and the shopping was done in a daze. I'm back on track this week though. And we have our Mindful Chef delivery which always… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan – Back on Track
Trying Something New I'm a bit late with my menu this week. We are trying something new. We've been having issues with food, being totally fed up of the regular meals we were having and the cupboards and freezers were stacked up with food we don't really want to eat. So, I've been trying to… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan – Trying something New
We have started the week with another birthday. It is Boo's 13th and I made her a lovely lunch of pizza, sausage rolls, mini poppadoms, french fries, cheesy biscuits, chicken pops and cake to follow. They had a lovely time. For tonight's dinner I'm just making them hot dogs and the grown ups are having… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan – Another Birthday
Ah, the summer holidays have begun, but we are not going on holiday. It's kind of setting in now and I feel quite sad about it. At first I just wanted to stay safe, now I just want some freedom! Anyway, it's summer time and I want my food to reflect that, but I've not… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan – Summer Time
We are trying out some new recipes lately and it's helping to spice up mealtimes a little. Last week we had Chimichangas which are basically deep fried enchiladas. We will probably make them again but mix up the fillings a bit. Deep fried wraps are a lot nicer than I expected. We also had a… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan – New Recipes
It's been a while since I did a meal plan, I've had some weird weeks where I just haven't worked out what we are eating until the last minute. I overstocked the cupboards and freezers and we have had to make an effort to empty them a little. We have also been totally fed up… Continue reading Weekly Meal Plan – Mindful chef and a Birthday
