Apologies for the lack of Meal Plan last week, I simply ran out of time to blog it. We've another busy week this week, I've a couple of meetings in the evenings as well as my usual 2 night shifts and am in London 3 times so low faff, slow cooker and make ahead meals is our theme for this week. It's our Wedding Anniversary this week to so hubby and I will be ordering a takeaway for our dinner that night once the kids are in bed.
My daughters are having packed lunches, much to their relief. School dinners just aren't filling enough for them and they aren't that fussed about the quality of the food either. Packed lunches will be Wholemeal Savoury Swirls with crudites, herbed yoghurt dip, a piece of fruit and a baked treat for afters. I had thought about giving them flasks of soup or stew but they wanted to save that until a less busy week and I wasn't about to argue.
Breakfasts will be porridge with homemade fruit compote. Weekend lunches will be at friends both days so I will be taking a pudding along, some homemade cordials for the kids and wine for the adults.
