Our Meal Plan for this week 04/11/2103 - £53

Sunday, 3 November 2013
It's back to school this week for all 3 girls after half term week.  I've got a busy week with Parent Consultations at school, a trip to Leeds and back in the same day, my usual work shifts and school governor meetings too.

Low faff is the theme for this week.  My 3 girls will be having school dinners, much to their dismay, as I am trying to keep everything as simple as possible to save my sanity.

Breakfasts will be cereal (wheat biscuits) with warm milk and a piece of fruit for afters or porridge with homemade fruit compote.

Weekend Lunches will be Allotment Picnic Slice.

Dinners

Monday Night Vegetable Curry - Monday

Giant Sausage Rolls - Tuesday and Wednesday

Easy Fish Pilaf - Thursday

Macaroni Cheese - Friday

Roast Chicken with Roast Vegetables - Saturday

Leftover Roast Chicken Pie - Sunday

350g leftover cooked chicken, cut into small chunks or shredded
2 leeks, finely sliced
leftover roast vegetables, diced
300ml pot soured cream
1 or 2 Tblsp wholegrain mustard
2 Tblsp chopped fresh chives or 1 spring onion, finely sliced
1 tsp dried tarragon
Puff pastry, ready made

Preheat your oven to 180C

Put all the filling ingredients into a bowl and mix until well combined then season to taste.  Pour into pie dish then cover with the pastry to form a lid.  Brush the pastry with a little milk to glaze and make a couple of small vents in the pasty to let steam escape.  Bake for 30 minutes until the pastry is puffed up and golden.
