Meal Planning Monday (9th January 2012)

Happy Monday everyone!

How did your meal planning go last week? Everyone stick to it? I have to say mine slipped a little due to illness in the house which means some of them will be made this week. Both myself and my daughter succumbed to a virus which made us both very lethargic and headachy with a loss of appetite but we seem to be recovering and I'm hungry today, which is a very good sign indeed!

Last week was a BUMPER week for Meal Planning Monday (even if four of the entries were from BareNakedMummy...) and I do hope that all the new joiners will stick with us. I enjoyed spending half an hour last night reading through all the meal plans and being introduced to some new fab blogs along the way!

Right. The meal plan. It looks a little like this 

Battered sweet and sour chicken with rice
Spaghetti bolognese
Chicken fajitas (Jamie Oliver recipe)
Fish pie
Slow cook steak and mushrooms, with dauphinoise
A curry of some sort

I also plan to make a coconut and lime cake, and if I have time a rhubarb, pear and vanilla crumble - depending on whether I can get rhubarb or not obviously!

The Linky is below, let me see your plans!

love & kisses

  8. I should think more about my meals as well.
    The 'Slow cook steak and mushrooms, with dauphinoise' sounds interesting.

  10. Hello, I love how you post your meal plans and so many of the ideas are great. I also tend to use Jamie Oliver recipes (they are easy to replicate at home and very often fast to do). I'm a new member of the bloggosphere and will be checking in regularly on At Home with Mrs. M.
    I'm inspired by the fish pie. I'll take a look at the recipe and try to do it myself as well.

  14. Many people begin diets and try to lose weight only to slip back after a short time to their old eating habits. This is the nature of diets. Permanent weight loss will only be achieved after taking up a healthy eating plan for the long term. Eating Plan
