Meal Planning Monday

Another week - another meal plan. We've had a lovely weekend with friends - one of my dearest friends who I haven't seen since the wedding (because Junior doctors are ALWAYS working Mr Hunt!) came to visit, met Harry, drink gin and generally catch up. Then yesterday we spent a happy afternoon with one of the other couples and bubba from our NCT group. My friends are typically those I've either worked with, Guide with or who I know from school or uni - I can be a little shy in new situations so one of the reasons I'm a huge advocate of NCT classes are the friends you make at a time that can be desperately lonely and isolating.

Anyway, back to the meal plan. It's so bitterly cold that our lunches are transitioning to hot food too.

Breakfasts - I've got to pick up some almond milk this afternoon so that we can have porridge, and also need to get some fruit as my apple trees have finally given up their last.

Lunches - Harry has some lovely tuna and sweet potato bites I've made, and I'm doing a bit of a grab and go with whatever we've got!

Suppers -

We had roast chicken yesterday so as always we're off on the right foot today...

Monday: Leftover roast chicken with baked potatoes and veggies

Tuesday: Chicken, mushroom and veg pie with potatoes and veggies

Wednesday: Spaghetti bolognaise

Thursday: Leftover bolognaise

Friday: Harry and I are off on Brownie holiday for the weekend so we'll be having fishfingers, potato wedges, peas and sweetcorn while M has (and thoroughly enjoys no doubt) a pizza!

Normal service is resumed on Monday although we'll all be shattered after QMing for 28 for the weekend!!!!

Baking wise - I made some dairy free baked cinnamon sugar doughnuts at the weekend which although were undeniably best on the first day they were baked (and even better still warm) are doing us a treat for packed lunches and keep going with coffee snacks.

Happy Monday everyone - and of course be sure to pop on over to At Home with Mrs M and if you're so inclined to I'm an organising junkie to see what everyone else is up to as part of their #mealplanningMonday
