This week saw the boys back to school and me back to work. Last weeks meal plan went slightly off course for two reasons. Firstly I didn't look at what I had taken out of the freezer. It was a surprise to me as well as the kids when we had beef stew rather than cottage pie! Secondly, I had forgotten how a full week at work would make me feel. (It has been well over 8 years that I have worked 5 days in a row - even if some of them were part time.) It was a shock to the system and when Friday was reached. There was no way I was cooking, so takeaway was purchased.
As this will be another busy week, I have tried to plan accordingly. And we will have cottage pie this time!
Monday:
Quiche with tortilla crust.
Tuesday: Sausage and mash
Wednesday: Chili with jackets or rice
Thursday: Hoisin beef made in the slow cooker.
Friday: Cottage pie
Saturday: Microwave curry. The boys have a better social life than me, so we will eat in between taking them to parties!
Sunday: Lasagne and garlic bread
What have you got planned?
love the sound of hoisin beef may have to try that one esp in the slow cooker
ReplyDeleteI hope work went well...We were ready for the weekend too after the kids went back to school. Those early mornings are awful.
ReplyDeleteGreat meal plan x
Your freezer sounds like mine! I have been known to put "freezer surprise" on our menu. Hope you enjoy your cottage pie when you finally get it!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a tortilla as a quiche crust, saves the bother of making pastry and I bet it's healthier too.

I scrapped a couple of the dishes off my plan last week due to tiredness - the kids didn't seem to say anything so I think they were the same, to be honest ! I'm intrigued by the tortilla crust ia so I'll definitely be giving be giving that a try some time :)
