Meal Planning Monday

December has arrived and the countdown to Christmas has officially begun! As the weather gets even colder there will be a lot more slow cooked meals in this household and I'm really looking forward to more roast dinners and warm desserts too.

This weeks menu...

Slow cooked lamb and stew and dumplings
Jacket potatoes and slow cooked chilli
Slow cooked meatball bolognese
Roast chicken
Mexican night (Fajitas, Enchiladas, nachos etc)

We are away in Blackpool at the weekend reviewing some of the attractions there so we will be eating out Saturday and will pick up something on the way home Sunday.

What's on your menu?

Meal Planning Monday

We have a lovely delivery due this morning to cook up three meals using Heinz new sauces (hot hot HOT!) and the rest of the meals are planned by the Mr this week. I think I'll throw some slow cooked recipes back in for next week though as I really enjoyed those, especially the lamb stew with dumplings!

We had a fantastic Greek night at the weekend. I made Baklava for the first time and it was fab. You can view the pictures over on Instagram if you fancy a peek (username theminimesandme).

This weeks planner...

Bacon carbonara

Spicy Stir Fry 

Fiery Chilli con carne

Mexican soup

Fish, wedges and carrots

As I recently won a £50 Pizza Express voucher in a Twitter party we will be heading there on Saturday for a family meal out and Sunday we will probably have roast lamb.

Lamb stew and dumplings

After a reasonably successful slow cooker week, the lamb stew in particular was heavenly, I've decided to let each family member pick a meal that they would like for dinner this week....

Meatball bolognese - selected by Minxy.
Fish, wedges and carrots - selected by Jamster.
Salmon and gnocchi bake - selected by the Mr and we have guests over too.
Curry - selected by the Mr (apparently it's National Curry week!).
Lasagne - selected by me.

The weekend we are child free as they will be with their dad so we are off to my parents Saturday for a Greek night! Sunday will be something selected on the day depending upon what we get up to.
