A busy week that started with a party for the teen in rural Gloucesteshire - the kind accessed by a single track road! Unfortnately a 1am pick up does not lead to a productive day, although we did manage to get his prom suit bought. Still playing catch up to finish all the other things that are needed at the beginning of the week
Half term here, although as he is on study leave that runs into next week too.
Monday - Tuna
Tuesday - Caramel apple pork chops
Wednesday - Coconut chicken curry
Thursday - Ribs (found in Asda!)
Friday - Fish pie
Saturday - Asian meatballs
Sunday - Coconut curry pork

Menu planning 19 - 25 May
So, this is the last week of compulsory school until September, from Friday the boy is only in on the days he has exams. So some days he's in all day, some half days and some not at all - means a good plan of Mum's taxi and meals!
Last week went to plan apart from Friday's chowder! Yet again, Asda didn't have any plantains (space on the shelf, just nothing there!), so had to do a bit of rethinking. We had coconut curried pollack which is reasonably quick.
The advantage of still cooking for 4 on most nights is that four times last week we had left overs that could be used for lunch - pork chops or shredded pork goes well with a salad.
And so to this week (from Friday I'm going to have to think about stocking up on lunch supplies)
Monday - Spicy salmon
Tuesady - Pork burgers
Wednesday - Honey mustard chicken
Thursday -Shepherd's pie
Friday - Curried fish chowder
Saturday - Husband and son at Didcot for the day and will probably eat there, so no cooking!
Sunday - Balsamic Pork roast - a new recipe to try
Hope to share with Mrs M

Menu planning 12 - 18 May
So this is the week that GCSEs begin - may need to stock up on treats to get through the next 6 weeks!
Last week went pretty much to plan, I found a variation for fresh beef burgers that came out OK, and decided that making Coconut curried pork was a quick dinner for Saturday.
And so to this week, not much happening outside the house this week apart from exams, but lots to get done - marketing plans, product photos and end of year accounts....
Monday - Tuna
Tuesday - Citrus pork chops
Wedneday - Coconut turkey stew
Thursday - Pineapple chilli - it can go in the slowcooker as I have both Messy Church and a Scout meeting and have to eat between them!
Friday - Curried fish chowder
Saturday - Meatza
Sunday - Honey apple ginger pork
I will be sharing as usual with Mrs M

Menu planning 7 - 13 April
Well I certainly know that I have an extra adut to feed! Last week's grocery bill was up, as I would normally either cook just for 3 of us, or use the fourth portion for lunch. Only another two and half weeks...
And just to make things more complicated, the brakes on my car have started making weird noises, so we are down to one car - when the supermarket is 10 miles away! I have sent my husband off with a list to get on his way home from his volunteer day at the railway and he is taking the car to the garage tomorrow.
We did stick to the menu from last week, but the variation on the meatloaf was only partly succssful - I made the meatloaf like a giant sandwich with chopped prunes and spinach in the centre. I think it would be better with them mixed into the meat mixture - you can't pick out the pieces then!
Monday - Baked tuna
Tuesday - Pork burgers
Wednesday - Bacon wrapped meatloaf
Thursday - out for a meal for my parents' Golden Weddding anniversary
Friday - Paleo fish pie
Saturday - Coconut chicken curry
Sunday Slow cooker beef stew
