Easy tonight.

DCs- Chicken goujons with mash, sweetcorn, green beans with butter and honey sesane carrots.

Me- ribeye steal with above veg.

DH- the veg only (he is vegetarian).

This week the Dcs are at supper club a couple of times at school so I am thinking of treating myself to things they would never eat such as Beef Wellington.

DS is making chicken and potato curry in food tech tomorrow so the DCs can have that and DH and I will have quiche and salad

I am never too sure until the veg box arrives tbh...

I think a chicken pie has to be on the list this week. The weather looks grim!

Tonight I am going super easy and having scrambled eggs, baked beans and bacon with lots of toast. Probably a grilled tomato also.

Yesterday we had pie, chips and peas. It was lovely but I desperately need to get back into a healthy eating regime.... my weight has spiralled during the lockdowns.

Mon - tuna jacket potatoes and salad
Tue - aubergine, courgette and lentil bake
Wed - chicken teriaki, brown rice and broccoli
Thu - feta and roasted vegetable cous cous
Fri - chicken cacciatore and polenta

Not sure about the weekend as we have guests but I'm going to cook instead of just get a takeaway like we normally would.
