    Fish Stew and Rice from last week’s meal plan. Was super yummy but we changed the recipe a little.

    Meal Plan:

    ——————
    ♥ Monday – Ravioli & Rocket & Parmesan Salad
    ♥ Tuesday – Garnet Pilaf
    ♥ Wednesday – Sausage pasta bake
    ♥ Thursday – Chicken Burgers with homemade chips
    ♥ Friday – Fast Fish Medley
    ♥ Saturday – Mushroom risotto
    ♥ Sunday – Dinner at Grandma & Grandad’s House

    I didn’t realise that we had a quiet week this week so started struggling when I realised I had to plan seven meals this week. It’s been ages since I’ve had to do that!! I try to always do at least one fish, one chicken, one meat, one vegetarian / one pasta, one rice, one potato etc but for some reason it doesn’t really seem to stretch across 7 meals!

    Luckily, Mr Monkey’s parents invited us around for dinner this coming Sunday so that’s one less meal I have to plan!

    So, it’s going to be strange to be home most of this week. The only days we’re out of the house were today for swimming this morning, Thursday I have an event to attend and then Sunday to the in-law’s house.

    And nothing very exciting in terms of meals this week. Tonight we had store bought ravioli with a spicy tomato sauce and a rocket and parmesan salad. Easy but so yummy.

    The Garnet Pilaf has been moved over from last week as we didn’t have it. We have a heap of sausages in the freezer so I’m whipping up a quick sausage pasta bake on Wednesday. We still have some chicken left from Lenard’s so we’re using the patties to make Chicken burgers on Thursday with some homemade chips.

    The Fast Fish Medley is a recipe from a cookbook I received at the Good Food & Wine Show from The Swap It Initiative from the Australian Government. It’s a simple dish of rice and a mix of seafood (we will probably just get it from the frozen section of the supermarket).

    Mushroom Risotto has become a bit of a staple in this house. Yummy, easy and nutritious. Can’t get much better than that.

  2. Meal Plan ★ 2nd – 8th July, 2012

    No this wasn’t on last week’s meal plan! My very gourmet dinner from the night that Lily stayed at her Granny & Poppy’s house for the first time by herself last week.

    Meal Plan:

    ——————
    ♥ Monday – Thai Coconut Fish Stew
    ♥ Tuesday – Curried Sausages with Brown Rice
    ♥ Wednesday – Dinner at the pub?
    ♥ Thursday – Lenard’s Chicken Kievs with Mash & Veggies
    ♥ Friday – Garnet Pilaf
    ♥ Saturday – Baby Mac’s Spanish Chorizo Chicken
    ♥ Sunday – Takeaway

    Some of these meals may look familiar – our plans got changed around a little last week so some of the meals have been moved on to this week’s meal plan. Lily ended up staying Wednesday night at Granny & Poppy’s for the first time by herself. Everyone was fine but it was awfully quiet here by myself. Mr Monkey and I then joined her on Thursday, Mr Monkey went back to work on Friday and my mum drove Lily and I home on Saturday. So that’s 2 meals that we didn’t end up making which have been moved on to this week.

    I have the last week of my Buddhism course this week. I’m thinking of doing a post about it soon – just a few things I’ve learnt and how they are helping me. Please let me know if you have any issues with me discussing this.

    I know we had Chicken Kievs on last week’s meal plan but we actually had Chicken Cordon Bleus – they weren’t marked so I wasn’t sure which ones they were. So looks like we’re having the Kievs this week!

    I’m trying two new recipes this week – Garnet Pilaf and Baby Mac’s Spanish Chorizo Chicken. The Garnet Pilaf looks like a great vegetarian meal and I’ve been wanting to try Beth’s chicken for ages.

    I haven’t done any baking in a while and although I don’t really have an “excuse” to bake this week I really want to. I’m sure I can think up an excuse!

    I’m not 100% sure what I’ll bake – I’m thinking either Baby Mac’s Cinnamon Tea Cake or Veggie Mama’s Rapsberry and White Chocolate Scones. I have everything in the house for either one except for the white chocolate so that could possibly be the deciding factor… or maybe I’ll just make both!

    What’s on your meal plan this week??
