Our Meal Plan this week is fairly low faff and includes meals requested by my family as I asked them to name the meals they wanted included. I am sleep deprived so uncomplicated and quick meals are what I need. Bub is now a month old and although he sleeps for a 3 or 4 hour stretch once a day, most other sleeps are around 2 hours or less. This means I am pretty much a zombie running on autopilot.
Breakfasts will be porridge with homemade fruit compote. School lunches will be cheese and homemade chutney or egg salad sandwiches with crudites and herby yoghurt dip, a piece of fruit and a small baked treat. My husband and I will be having more soups from the freezer. Weekend lunches will be Toasted Sandwiches and Twice Baked Potatoes.
As a treat, and because I really want chicken soup, I purchased a free range chicken. We'll be having a roast with all the trimmings to start the week. I will then use leftovers from the chicken in a couple of other meals throughout the week.
Dinners
Roast chicken with Yorkshire puddings, roast vegetables and steamed greens
Chicken Soup - Flu Soother, because we all seem to have a slight cold
12 Muffin Tin Chicken Tarts
Mixed Vegetable and Pearl Barley Risotto
Sausage, Vegetable and Pearl Barley Hotpot
Homemade Fish and Chips (perfect for munching on whilst we watch Strictly)
Macaroni Cheese with steamed greens
