Meal Planning Monday (14th January 2013)

Well howdy, look at that, I've got a new image for Meal Planning Monday this week!  I got a bit fed up with my blog last week and spent a long time tinkering before deciding to just stick with it for now however, I decided a new badge for Meal Planning Monday was required. What do you think?

The big news today is the snow - anyone got any? Not much to report here, a little bit of snow but no big snowfall which is unfortunate as I was hoping for a snow day today. However I heard a rumour there is more heading our way later today. Woke up on Sunday with a raging cold and today have bad chest and back pain - Mr M has kindly done the morning school run but I'll have to drag myself out to collect them later although I am getting a reprieve on after school activities as my dear husband is going to come home early to take them.

Thanks to everyone who has helped spread the word about #mealplanningmonday - we had a bumper week last week with 41 people linking up. Wowsers! I have fully intended to get round each and every blog on Sunday but honestly, a serious lack of energy saw me laying on the sofa watching 12 episodes of Cougar Town in one sitting.  I'm sorry and I WILL visit all your blogs this week I promise.

This week we're properly back to the routine with a full schedule of after school activities, date nights and play dates which always screws meal planning up but nonetheless there is a plan of course and it looks a little like this.

Beef moussaka

Cottage pie

Lasagne

Homemade fishcakes

Chiili con carne

This may be for everyone else, I may well just be on the soup and crisps diet as that's all I ever want to eat when I feel rough.

Now it's your turn.

If you're new to my blog or #mealplanningmonday all you have to do is this - write a blog post about your meal plan for the week and submit the URL of your post using the Linkytools below.

Look forward to seeing your plans - wonder if they're all as full of comfort food meals as mine!
