Another Monday again! Where has the summer gone? I want it back now. I've had enough of the rain and the cold. It seems we take one step forward, then two back with this weather. Anyway, here is how this week looks:

Monday: lamb lasagne with salad (recipe to follow soon)

Tuesday: Jo out at blogger's event. Hubby is fending for himself

Wednesday: peppered steak and chips (forgot to get it out of the freezer last week. Doh!)

Thursday: chicken chow mein

Friday: soup and bread

Saturday: takeaway

Sunday: ????????

Happy bank holiday Monday everyone! Sorry I did not post anything last week. I am not 100% sure what happened. I just had no energy for blogging. Spring is definitely here! I had my first taste of this year's asparagus last week and I am sitting in the garden in the sunshine writing this. Here is this week's plan:

Monday: BBQ at friend's house

Tuesday: cheese & tomato pizza and salad

Wednesday: peppered steak and chips

Thursday: chicken noodle soup

Friday: takeaway

Saturday: I am going to blog summit and joining some fellow bloggers afterwards for a meal at Malmaison/Stuart is fending for himself

Sunday: slow cooked gammon in cider with new potatoes and salad

Afternoon all. Another week has gone by and although we still are not fully into spring weather, things are definitely looking up. We were even able to go to the park over the last few days and sit in a local pub beer garden and enjoy a few beers. The asparagus season will soon be upon too. I am already on the hunt for it and am looking forward to giving Thomas his first taste of it. Anyway, on to this week's meal plan:

Monday: homemade pizza

Tuesday: cauliflower and broccoli cheese

Wednesday: soup and bread

Thursday: pizza party (in aid of NCT – National Childbirth Trust)

Friday: pasta with pancetta, peas and Parmesan

Saturday: takeaway

Sunday: roast dinner of some sort at my Nan's in Bewdley

Spring seems to finally be here! I am writing this with the patio door open listening to the birds outside. It is lovely!! We mostly followed the meal plan last week but there were a couple of changes so the ones I did not make last week are on the meal plan for this week.

Monday: soy and garlic chicken with rice

Tuesday: crispy chilli chicken with chips

Wednesday: we are both out/working late so are fending for ourselves tonight

Thursday: spaghetti bolognaise and garlic bread

Friday: takeaway

Saturday: chilli con carne, rice and garlic bread

Sunday: roast pork Sunday dinner

The meal plan went completely out the window last week. We all came down with colds and coughs so did not have much energy for anything. I am hoping this week will be better though and that the bugs finally leave us alone!

Monday: chicken Kiev, new potatoes and salad

Tuesday: chicken fajitas

Wednesday: salmon fishcakes, new potatoes and salad

Thursday: spaghetti Bolognese

Friday: we are both out so are fending for ourselves. Thomas will have leftover Bolognese

Saturday: takeaway

Sunday: roast pork Sunday lunch with all the trimmings

Hooray! April is here. Hopefully the weather will realise that we are now in British Summer Time and follow suit! *fingers crossed* We mostly stuck to the meal plan last week. I did not cook the Hairy Bikers Chicken Pilau due to an unexpected delivery of British Rose Veal that needed using up as soon as possible (blog post to follow soon) so will be making it this week instead.

Monday: takeaway pizza (had a busy weekend and am just feeling really lazy tonight)

Tuesday: jacket potato, cheese and beans

Wednesday: salmon fishcakes, new potatoes and salad

Thursday: garlic Kiev, new potatoes and salad

Friday: takeaway

Saturday: Hairy Biker's Chicken Pilau

Sunday: chicken casserole, mash and vegetables

Another week and spring is still hiding away, this week under a massive pile of snow!!! I hope the weather improves for this weekend as we want to get out and about and enjoy being a family. With it being Easter, we are having our parents round for Easter lunch and I am cooking roast duck for the first time. Onto the meal plan,

Monday: crispy roast duck and pancakes (Chinese takeaway leftovers)

Tuesday: cauliflower and broccoli cheese (hubby is out and I love this so much, I eat it as a main meal)

Wednesday: lasagna and salad

Thursday: soup and bread (quick dinner as I have an NCT meeting)

Friday: takeaway or Hairy Biker's Chicken Pilau from their 'Great Curries' cookbook

Saturday: takeaway or Hairy Biker's Chicken Pilau from their 'Great Curries' cookbook

Sunday: Easter roast duck and gammon, with all the trimmings and a chocolate cake for pudding

Feeling very ill this week with a bad cold and cough so this post is very short. This hardly qualifies as a meal plan as I am not cooking much. We are having:

Monday: takeaway (too ill to cook anything)

Tuesday: chilli con carne, rice and garlic bread

Wednesday: crispy chicken and chips

Thursday: I am at Blue Door Bakery's Cake Club as long as this illness passes so hubby is fending for himself

Friday: out for friend's birthday meal

Saturday: out on another friend's birthday meal

Sunday: hubby is golfing for the day so Thomas and I are fending for ourselves

Another week and we are still waiting for spring to arrive. As I write this, we have snow flurries outside. Hurry up spring weather! Getting fed up of all the cold weather now. Anyway, onto this week's meal plan:

Monday: lamb steaks, mash potatoes, veg and gravy

Tuesday: gammon, egg and chips (didn't have it last week)

Wednesday: homemade pizza (got some tomato sauce left from last week)

Thursday: shepherds pie and vegetables

Friday: takeaway

Saturday: something from the new Hairy Biker's curry book I am having delivered this week

Sunday: after a busy afternoon at Thomas' christening, I am sure we will probably have another takeaway to keep life simple

Not feeling a 100% today so this post is a short one. We stuck to the meal plan last week, except for yesterday when I talked Stuart into taking us for out for Sunday lunch. This week I am keeping it simple and making a few family favourites.

Monday: chip shop tea

Tuesday: homemade pizza

Wednesday: pasta and bolognaise

Thursday: Gok Wan's soy glazed chicken and rice

Friday: takeaway

Saturday: gammon, egg and chips

Sunday: beef stew in the slow cooker
