After last week's rather wasteful shopping trip and cobbled together meal plan I'm back in the game this week with a nicely organised meal plan which was planned in advance as it should be.We seem to have a really busy week this week so I suspect there'll be a bit of chopping and changing but we have enough in that we should be able to get away with that without having to pop to the shop.Here's what we have planned.... MondayI had some prawns in the freezer so I made a quick prawn curry tonight for tea although I may have cheated a teeny bit as I used two of the jars of curry … [Read more...]
Homemade Polenta Fries….
For those of you who don't follow my meal planning blog, Meal Planning Made Easy, I thought you might like to have a quick drool over my new favourite food - homemade polenta fries.Polenta fries are a delicious alternative to normal fries and they're relatively cheap too - 74p worth of polenta did plenty of fries for us all! All I do is slice the polenta and coated them in olive oil sprinkled on some seasoning and popped them in the air fryer until they looked golden (15-20 minutes). You could just cook them in the oven on a high heat if that's easier for you though.Don’t miss … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {1st March 2015}….
You know how I always say that the most important part of meal planning is the few minutes that you spend before you go shopping working out what you have in, what you'll be eating the next week and writing a shopping list?Well, this week I didn't do any of that before I went shopping!In my defence, I always to my shopping on a Friday evening because (a) that's the only time that I'm free to go without the kids over the weekend and (b) my cupboards are looking a bit like mother Hubbards by then. I had a really busy afternoon on Friday so I didn't get chance to even boil the kettle let … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {23rd February 2015}….
Am I the only person who finds school holidays a nightmare as far as meal planning goes?Things never seem to go according to plan when the kids are off school - there's last minute sleepovers, days out that interfere with tea time, extra friends for tea, kids not wanting to come home at tea time and all sorts of other things sent to try my meal planning skills (and budget)!All good stuff and I wouldn't want to change the way we spend our school holidays in any way but it definitely makes it harder to stick to meal planning (well it does for me anyway).But that was last week! … [Read more...]
Slow cooker jacket potatoes….
OK, I have been told lots of times that you can cook jacket potatoes in the slow cooker but for some unknown reason, until recently I'd never actually tried making them in there.Then a while ago we were having people round for drinks and I decided to make a chilli in the slow cooker but thought it would be nice to serve it with baked potatoes instead of rice (less chance of food dropping off the fork ;-)).As I had enough to think about, I decided to try making the jacket potatoes in the slow cooker rather than the oven so I made each one a little wrapping out of foil, pricked it with a … [Read more...]
Hot dog pizza toast….
I don't know about you but I seem to find myself being added to numerous Facebook groups recently and looking down the list of things I'd been added to the other day, I found a group that I thought I actually might like so instead of deleting it, I clicked on the link to view the group.I'm not going to name the group but the first post I read was a lady who had mentioned that she was feeding her children hot dogs for lunch. Now I know as much as the next person that there is very little nutritional value to a hot dog but the comments that this lady was getting from some people were … [Read more...]
