<br />
<b>Monday</b> - Fish pie<br />
<br />

<b>Saturday</b> - Bolognese sauce - I have 'zoodles' and my husband has pasta<br />

My husband and son will be volunteering at the local heritage railway over the Easter weekend, so all days have to be flexible as they can't leave until everything is clear.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Tuesday</b> - Pork chops with apple sauce<br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday</b> - Chicken in white sauce<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Saturday </b>- Salmon fish cakes<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday</b> - Balsamic pulled pork (a large joint that will be split in two)<br />
I bought the pork some time ago, but it is big enough to do at least two meals <br />

My son is working as part of the technical team at the Swindon Gang show, so needs to be at the theatre early for the three mornings before the performances, as well as late on the two rehearsals and three evening performances.<br />
So, this week I will be feeding 3 or 4 each day, and a couple of days it will be necessary to eat at midday rather than the evening because of the timings<br />
<br />
<b>Monday</b> - <a href="http://magicalmoosesterytour.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/poached-salmon.html">Poached salmon</a><br />
<br />
<b>Tuesday</b> - Pork chops (for 3)<br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday</b> - Chicken casserole (for 3)<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday</b> - Slow cooked gammon in cider (for 4?)<br />
<br />
<b>Friday</b> - Beef and cabbage skillet<br />
(a one pot meal at lunchtime)<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday</b> - Fish cakes (for 3)<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday</b> - something very simple, as I don't expect him home until after 2 am as the theatre has to be completely emptied and everything returned to another location before they can leave.<br />

Three of us are away, but my daughter is going away with another student friend and will probably leave after we do on Friday, but at present I don't know when! I also need to make sure there is food for my son while he is here alone for the weekend.<br />
<br />
<b>Monday</b> - Fish pie<br />
<br />
<b>Tuesday</b> - meal out at Hungry Horse as belated Mother's Day meal<br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday</b> - slow cooked chicken (this means I can then make a pot of stock from the bones - ideal for soup making)<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday</b> - <a href="http://magicalmoosesterytour.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/caramel-apple-pork-chops.html">Pork chops</a> (the family will have caramel apples on theirs, and I will have apple - I'm still sugar-free for Lent)<br />
<br />
<b>Friday</b> - a mystery as I don't know if I'm feeding one or two of mine, or even an extra two when her friends come and pick her up!<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday</b> - only one student to feed and he will eat out of the freezer<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday</b> - <a href="http://nomnompaleo.com/post/57975313761/deconstructed-samosa-spiced-keema">Spiced kheema</a> (this is quick and easy when we are returning from a weekend away)<br />

We go from feeding two people to feeding four, so I have get a proper menu planned. When there is only two of us, we sometimes eat the same thing two days running because it's sitting in the fridge, particularly on busy days.<br />
<br />
Monday - Baked tuna (there seems to be shortage of salmon at the moment)<br />
<br />
Tuesday - Pork burgers topped with mushrooms<br />
<br />
Wednesday - <a href="http://magicalmoosesterytour.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/coconut-curry-chicken.html">Coconut chicken curry</a> with rice<br />
<br />
Thursday - <a href="http://civilizedcavemancooking.com/recipes/beef/spicy-pineapple-chili/">Pineapple chilli</a> (this will give us two portions to put in the freezer - ideal one pot meals)<br />
<br />
Friday - Gammon steaks with pineapple<br />
<br />
Saturday - Chicken casserole - ideal to feed four and it contains lots of vegetables!<br />
<br />
Sunday - <a href="https://addapinch.com/balsamic-pork-tenderloin-recipe/">Balsamic pulled pork</a> (made in the slow cooker so ideal for a busy day when three of us have to be out by 9.30!)<br />

I am still continuing to avoid most of the food that I cut out for the Whole 30 month, as I have a suspicion that large quantities of dairy is not good. I seem to be alright with a dash of milk in a coffee but larger amounts such as lump of cheese or a latte seem to be causing problems.<br />

<br />
Tuesday - <a href="http://magicalmoosesterytour.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/meatloaf-and-hungarian-sauce.html">Hungarian meatloaf</a> (this means I can make tomato soup witt mini meatballs with the rest of the meat and tomatoes)<br />
<br />
Wednesday - <a href="http://magicalmoosesterytour.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/not-stuffed-mushrooms.html">Not stuffed mushrooms</a> (individual portions from the freezer)<br />

<br />
Friday - Fish stew<br />

I'm trying to use what is the freezer first.<br />
Our main challenge at present, is due to the weather in Spain,we don't know how much longer we can get salad. We normally get through 2-3 bags of salad, 2 cucumbers and 2 bunches of spring onions in a week, so it could become quite serious if salad components become unavailable.<br />
<br />
<b>Monday</b> - Lemon & pepper crusted salmon, loosely based on<a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/lemon-black-pepper-crusted-salmon"> this recipe</a> from BBC Good Food <br />
I replaced the breadcrumbs with sesame seeds and ground almonds, and the butter with ghee.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Tuesday</b> - Gammon<br />
Towards the end of last year, we cooked a gammon joint, and then froze the surplus either as slices or salad pieces.<br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday</b> - <a href="http://www.asdagoodliving.co.uk/food/recipes/time-saving-turkey-stroganoff">Turkey stroganoff</a><br />
I use coconut milk instead of the sour cream, as I am still avoiding dairy (and it's less likely to curdle!)<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday</b> - <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/shepherds-pie">Shepherds pie</a><br />
This contains lots of vegetables, and doesn't ask for strange ingredients!<br />
<br />
<b>Friday</b> - some kind of fish dish!<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday</b> - <a href="http://magicalmoosesterytour.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/pork">Citrus pork chops</a><br />
I freeze these with the marinade already added, so they marinade as they thaw<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday</b> - <a href="http://smilesandwich.com/2014/07/25/amish-one-pan-ground-beef-and-cabbage-skillet/">Amish beef and cabbage skillet</a><br />
A quick one pan meal!<br />

<br />
One tray of this makes 12 portions, so we freeze the second half for the next week<br />
<br />
<b>Lunch</b> - Smoked salmon salad, 2 clementines<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Snack</b> - 3 dates<br />
<br />
<b>Dinner</b> - <a href="http://beautyandthefoodie.com/grain-free-nacho-pot-pie/">Nacho pie</a> with carrots<br />
<br />
This has a cauliflower topping instead of a cornbread one, but the recipe is quite spicy, so you may to adjust it if giving to little ones!<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Lunch</b> - Smoked salmon salad, 2 clementines<br />
<br />
Look very carefully to check the ingredients as many brands include sugar - the smaller size of this from Aldi does now contain sugar, but this size doesn't (they only seem to sell this size at Christmas)<br />
