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.

As usual I compared the price of my shopping which cost £52.72 from Asda, had I shopped elsewhere my groceries would've cost £63.10 from Tesco or £64.51 from Sainsburys.

Amazing that you can save over a tenner just by shopping around. Love the sound of some of this. I always hit hurdles because DH is allergic to cheese!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a yummy week! I do love sausage rolls!
