sat - homemade pizza
sun - easy chicken and chips
mon - beef and ale stew with roasties
tue - leftover stew in pie crust with pots
wed - basque chicken
thur - sausage pasta
well here are some pics of some of the meals we have already had this week I'm most looking forward to the beef and ale stew with roasties it sounds so yummy this week on food shopping i spent just under £33 so the leftover money is for a small treat at the end of the week.
our carbonara was so yummie and so cheep cant believe i use to pay about £8 for this when we when on date nights
Taylor loved this she loves anything cheesy with sauce lol
i had no time the other day to cook i just had too much to do but i wanted to stick to the meal plan so here's what i did
browned my sausages in a pan and bunged them in the slow cooker with a chopped onion and some beef stock enough to just cover that sausages then placed a layer of foil over the top an wrapped two large potatoes in more foil and placed them on top popped the lid on and cooked on high for 4 hours when i get home it was all cooked and yummy all i did then was turn the cooker to low take out my jackets and popped them in the oven for 20mins to crisp up while i boiled some peas and carrots easy yummy and almost all in one pot and little effort was nice to come home to after i had been out in the cold all day and Taylor loved it she wolfed it down.
thanks for reading guys and dolls
so for breakfast today i had rolled oats cooked with milk with banana honey and a little sugar cause i like my breakfast sweet. i love porridge it can be eaten in so many different ways with so many different fruits and it always keeps me full until dinner. i find it really hard to keep myself full i got in to the habit of eating when i am bored and as of right now i am trying to get out of this habit because i know its no good for me. plus oats are so cheap we get a big bag for 75p and they last us at least 3 weeks so all in all i love porridge. i want to try and make some oaty muffins to try and get Taylor eating more oats and fruit she likes fruit but some days its so hard to get her to eat any any one know any tricks?
for lunch i had half a scotch egg and prawn cocktail with boiled egg tomatoes and cucumber on whole grain bread it was scrummy they used to sell prawns and boiled egg sandwiches where i used to work and my mum use to have them all the time. me i didn't like the look of them until one day she got me to try one and oh gosh i fell in love if you've not tried it please do its so good. i couldn't find prawns on there own in my local shop so i used prawn cocktail and it was just as good the sauce make it even better i think. I'm also not enjoying white bread that much at the moment. i think Ive ate too much of it. but I'm discovering my love for whole grain again. some times you just need a change things get samie other wise.
