I missed last week (the getting back into a new work routine), so linking up again with Mrs M’s Meal Planning Monday this week.
Meal planning this week has been a bit vague, and a bit on and off as Tuesdays and Thursdays, it’s just me to sort food out for as OH and N eat at the farm usually before I’m home. Â Although I do the meal plan for the week, I’ll sometimes come home to find that OH has started his own recipe using whatever protein I’ve got out of the freezer. Â Last week was meant to be a baked chicken dish roasted with butternut squash. Â It ended up being his chicken with orange juice, garlic and a few spices. Â He’s a fan of meat with sauces, whereas I don’t really make sauces, so with that dish he got his own way (and it’s delicious anyway!).
So here’s this week’s plan:
- Monday: salmon with soy, lemon and butter, spinach, carrots and sauted potatoes
- Tuesday (me): in London so should be getting lunch there
- Wednesday: macaroni cheese
- Thursday (me): would like to do risotto, but think I’ll need to find a baked recipe to avoid standing over it for ages
- Friday: was going to be some kind of puff pastry tart, but have pizzas in
- Saturday: Baked chicken with butternut squash/roasted veg or beef stew
- Sunday: roast of some type
Puddings have fallen by the wayside as there’s just not enough time in an hour after work to make them and a main meal as well as playing with N. So just at the weekend, likely to be chocolate surprise pudding and raspberry steamed pudding.

Enjoy London! Mac & cheese sounds great 🙂
We love macaroni here. So quick and simple (although pricy when it’s Jamie Oliver’s version!)
The salmon sounds so fresh and lovely 🙂 Have fun in London!!
Thanks. Salmon was lush – even though I’m not really a fan
