Days got jumbled, I did carbonara in the end, and delayed the cod and pumpkin to last night. I did a rigatoni with rosemary sausages and courgette dish on Thursday as an experiment (that’s going on my list to repeat!). And the risotto (enough to freeze a second portion - I only need half a cup of rice).
the plan for this week is:
today lamb steak, roasted Mediterranean veggies, roast baby potatoes
tomorrow steak, garlic and thyme mushrooms, parmentier potatoes (HM) or croquettes (frozen)
Mon fish pie (cod, salmon, prawns and peas, potato top) - I have a huge piece of cod so will make 2, 1 to freeze
Tuesday chicken and mushrooms with rice (easy cook after an evening lecture)
Wednesday Gorgonzola pasta
Thursday sweet’n’sour chicken
Friday chicken fajitas w/HM guacamole
I am mostly using up fridge/freezer stocks as I have a lot of evening events in the next 3 weeks so need easy meals, then I am away for a week for work, I have 36 hours back here before I go again for 13 days for Easter, back for 2 days before another 2 day trip. So that weekend (in about 7 weeks?) is when I will restock fridge/freezer and batch cook again. But I also want space to bring back some M&S meals and some good Irish meat for feeezer from home…so I’ve spent some time doing stock lists and planning menus for 3 weeks this morning.
The food shopping this week is: milk, Parmesan, 1 pepper, frozen peas - and nothing else.
