I can not believe how fast this year is going how are we already in the middle of July. Today I am going to be sharing with you the meals which I have been consuming this week. I am still finding it that I do not have too much of an appetite at the moment. I blame the weather the it so muggy and in the summer I barely want to eat anyway. Anyway on to the meals which I am going to be consuming this week.

Monday- Black Bean and Corn Pitas, this is a meal which I saw on someone else’s meal plan last week. This sounds like a super simple meal, for sure this is something which I need. For sure this is a meal which is very different for me. We love to try and make a wide range of meals. For sure I will let you know how we get on with this meal.

Tuesday- Slow Cooked Hunters Chicken with Wedges, this is a meal which we love. It is something which I order if we do go out for a meal. I saw this recipe on Katy’s site. For me this is a great meal because of course, we do not have to cook in the evening. I can prepare while I am going some work during the day, then it is ready for when Joe comes home.

Wednesday- Peri Peri Chicken and Salad, this is a meal which we decided on for a couple of reasons. One we had some chicken thighs which were in the freezer. This is also do with the humid weather we want something which is a bit more summery. Peri Peri is something which I love anyway and of course, this is cheaper than a meal at Nandos.

Thursday- Chicken Nugget Wraps, this is something which I have been fancying. I actually have the wraps in and nuggets of course, I will be putting some salad in with them. This is something which we have been making as lunches sometimes. I think they are are actually nicer than the McDonald’s wraps and of course are a fraction of the price.

Friday- Spicy Veggie Chilli Burgers, this is a meal which we have had previously. We love to try and do a fakeaway on a Friday. It helps us save money and of course is healthier for us usually. This week we have decided that we are going to have a spicy veggie chilli burgers. This was as result of Joe saying that he fancied a burger.

Saturday- Ham and Mushroom Pasta Bake, I am at work on Saturday so I wanted something easy. This means that Joe can make it for him and Jess and I can heat the left overs when I get home. Pasta is something which we have not been having a lot of recently so this will make a nice change.

Sunday- Taco Dogs, this is another meal we have had before but Joe requested. I actually use the hotdogs and bread. We load them with toppings for example we will have salas, sour cream and also gucamole and cheese. This is something which I saw on Pinterest and to be honest love. For sure this is not a meal which I would have thought about making.

Of course, like every meal plan this is linked up with the amazing Katy. I get a lot of the inspiration from her and the linky which she runs. If you are struggling and consuming the same meals I would recommend checking it out. You may find a meal which you love.

What meals are you planning on consuming this week?

Today I am going to be sharing with you the meals which we are going to be consuming this week. There is a couple of weeks which we were supposed to consume however, we did not fancy this meal. So this is one of the reason why there is a couple of roll over meals. This week is pretty standard I do not think there is anything special going on which is a reason I prepared 7 easy meals.

Monday- Slow Cooked Chilli, this is meal we should have had last week. This is one we did not have because we went out for lunch instead and was too full we actually went to the bear kitchen. This for sure is a meal which I am looking forward to because we have not had a chilli in a long time. This is recipe can be found on my pinterest if you are interest in copying.

Tuesday- Prawn Stirfry, this is not a meal which we have had for a long time. It is super quick to make which is great because at the moment. I do not have a lot of energy to stand up and cook for long period of time at the moment during this warm weather. I am unsure if we have ever actually had a stirfry which has been prawns usually we have chicken but we have enough chicken in the meal plan this week.

Wednesday- Salmon, New Potato and Mixed Veg. Salmon is something which I have not had in a while usually due to not having any in the freezer. I have decided that I am going to cook the salmon in the oven and then have some new potatoes with herby butter. These are something which I love and of course, we have some frozen mixed veg.

Thursday- Homemade Chicken Kiev and Jacket Potatoes. This is something which I had a few weeks ago, however Joe was not home. I know this is a meal which when I have made it in the past he has loved. So I am sure that it is going to be the same again. This is quick and easy to make we still have some potatoes which can be used as jackets which need using up.

Friday- Chicken Nachos, again this is a meal from last week which we did not get around to doing. It is one which the lovely Katy has on her blog. It is something different for us and hopefully it is something which I am going to enjoy. I love a nice simple meal on a Friday usually a fakeaway. For sure I will be letting you know how this meal goes.

Saturday- Chicken Curry, this is becoming a firm favourite with Jess. We make sure that we choose one which is not too spicy. I am going to be serving this with rice. I have actually purchased some nan bread which is a treat because it is something we rarely have. This is a meal which for sure I know Jess is going to clear plate.

Sunday-  Pie and Chips, we purchased some pie which was reduce a few weeks ago. We have decided that we are going to use it up in order to make some more freezer room. This is going to mean that I have more space when I am solo parenting. If it is warm we may end up having the pie with salad instead of chips.

What are you planning on having for meals this week?

Today I am going to be sharing with you the meals which we have been consuming this week. We actually have Joe at home which means I have been able to make a lot more meals. Rather than consuming food which we had in the freezer. I am also liking not having to always cook meal all of the time as this is something which Joe can do as well. This week we managed to still have a cheap week when it comes to shopping even when purchasing pull ups which Jess uses on a night. The total was still under £30. So today I am going to share the meals which we have been consuming.

Monday- Pork Schnitzel, Jacket Potato and Spaghetti Hoops. This is a meal which I was supposed to consume last week. However, I did not get around to having it. This is such a simple meal and we did have some pork steaks in the freezer which we have choose to use up this week. This is a simple meal however, it is a meal we both enjoy.

Tuesday- Chicken Katsu Curry, this is a meal which we love and it is something which I have made several times. However, a couple of weeks ago we picked up a kit from Blue Dragon while we was in Aldi. I am looking forward to seeing how good this is because for sure it is more simple than making your own.

Wednesday-  Lime, Chilli Cod with Chips. This is another meal which we had previously it is something which we really enjoyed. We have a lot of fish in the freezer from a period where we purchased a lot of fish reduced. We are going to make some homemade chips with this. It is a simple meal again something we are loving at the moment. It is not going to matter if it is so warm or not.

Thursday- Slow Cooker Chicken Nachos, this is a meal which I saw on Katy’s blog. Nacho’s are something which we love however, it is not something which I would have thought about making at home. I am busy on Thursday afternoon and unsure what time I am going to get back. So we needed something simple this is why we are busting out the slow cooker. It saves us having to get a takeaway.

Friday- Chilli Con Carne, this is another meal which I have not made for the longest time. It is a meal which for some reason I have been fancying. So I going to make this it’s such a simple meal and if there is leftovers of course, they can be frozen. This does mean I may be able to consume it when Joe is away again.

Saturday- Spaghetti and Meatballs, I am at work again on Saturday. So no doubt this is a meal which Joe and Jess will make and then I can eat some when I get it. This time we have even cheated and purchased already made meatballs. It is just easier when your on your own with Jess. For sure this is a meal which she will love to consume as it is pasta. This may be served with garlic bread depending.

Sunday- Chicken Goujans, Chips and Beans. This is another meal which Jess and I were supposed to consume while Daddy was away. We never got around to doing it s I have promised her this is something which we can have this time. This is a simple meal because sometimes I do not want a lot on a Sunday and would rather spend time with Jess rather than cook.

Of course, like every meal plan this is linked up with the amazing Katy. I get a lot of the inspiration from her and the linky which she runs. If you are struggling and consuming the same meals I would recommend checking it out. You may find a meal which you love.

What meals are you planning on consuming this week?

Today I am going to be sharing with you the meals which I have been consuming this week. Joe is still away so this does mean I have a lot of meals which has come out of freezer. I like to stock the freezer up so when times like this happen I do have meals which I can make. Of course, I do not want to be having ready meals. I am unsure if I have actually planned for the weekend because I am going to let Joe choose I am sure he will be wanting some decent food.

Monday- Courgette and Feta Burger, this is a meal which I made a long time ago. I actually made more of them and froze some of them. I am going to serve this I think with salad. For sure this is a meal which I would make again when the weather comes back really nice. These would be great for a BBQ.

Tuesday- Pork Schnitzel, Jacket Potato and Baked Beans, again this is a meal which we have had in the past. I still have some pork steaks in the freezer. I am going to turn this into a pork schnitzel it is so simple yet such an effective meal. This is going to be served with jacket potato and baked beans or spaghetti hoops depending on my mood that day.

Wednesday- Cheesy Pasta, this is a meal which we did not end up having at the weekend. I have to pick Jess up early due to it been parent’s evening and nursery closing early. Jess will have eaten a large lunch so no doubt will not want a lot when she comes home. I am going to plan on doing cheesy pasta and if she doesn’t eat it doesn’t matter.

Thursday-  Leftovers, I just want to get things that we have left in the fridge used up. I am unsure what there is going to be by Thursday however, I think it will be a like picnic tea. Sometimes I do think these are the best kind of meals. Recently I have not been that hungry.

Friday- Takeaway, I think we are going to end up having a takeaway. The reason behind this is because why should we not have a treat now Joe is back. I am unsure what takeaway we will have I would say that it would be Chinese however, I have not been eating a lot so I am unsure if this is a good idea.

Saturday- Spaghetti Bol, again this is another meal which Joe loves to consume. We have all of the things in and we have not had a spaghetti bol for a long time. I know this is going to be a meal which Jess is going to be able to consume.  This may actually be served with garlic bread as well.

Sunday-  Steak, Egg and Chips, this is because we are going to be doing father’s day late. We have decided that we are going to have one of his favourite meals. We actually picked up one of the large steaks which Aldi do. This is going to be something which we share because they are so big. I am going to make homemade chips and have this with egg. I am sure this is going to be a meal which Jess is going to enjoy as well.

Of course, like every meal plan this is linked up with the amazing Katy. I get a lot of the inspiration from her and the linky which she runs. If you are struggling and consuming the same meals I would recommend checking it out. You may find a meal which you love.

What meals are you planning on consuming this week?

I am back with another meal plan there was not one last week due to me been poorly.  Basically I was struggling to eat anything I barely ate for a week I think I was living on toast. I just let Joe fend for himself because for sure I did not have the strength to do this. However, this week I am feeling a lot better so I am back sharing the meals which we have been consuming this week.  This hopefully will allow you to get some inspiration should you be struggling to know what meals to add to your meal plan.

Monday- Nan Bread Pizza, we have some nan breads which need using up. We also have some topping from when we made pizza a couple of weeks ago. I have decided that we are going to use them up and have this as one meal. I have never made a pizza using a nan bread base so it will be interesting to see how this works.

Tuesday-  Spaghetti Carbanara, this is a meal which we have not had for one of the longest times. We need meals which are quick to prepare this week as Joe is working long hours.  We had a few of the ingredients in already from meals we had not made so this is the reason we are having this. There is a chance will throw the boat out and get a garlic bread as well.

Wednesday- Chicken Pesto Pasta, I know we had a jar and a bit of pesto in the cupboard which needs using. Again I though this would be a super simple meal which is what I am all about at the moment. Chicken Pesto Pasta is a meal which I used to consume all the time when I was at uni so it is like a throwback for me.

Thursday- Thai Chicken Noodles, this is a meal which I saw on someone who linked up last week. I am sorry I can not remember who it actually was. Noodles are something which are a firm favourite in this house so of course adding it with Thai is going to make it a winner. For sure this is something which I am looking forward to because we have not had a noodle dish in a long time.

Friday- Tex Mex Burger, of course, it is Friday which means fakeaway. This week we have decided that we are going to opt for a burger. This is not something which we have had in a while. I think I will be serving this with home made chips. By the end of the week I have a feeling I am going to need it. This may be a meal which I make Joe cook as well because it always taste better if someone else cooks.

Saturday- Chorizo and Haddock One Pot. We had some new potatoes which need using up. I actually was searching for a recipe to use them up and this is where I came across this meal. I am hopeful that it is going to be one which taste amazing. I love Chorizo anyway so I am sure I am on for a winner with this meal.

Sunday- Prawn Curry, Curry is something which Jess loves recently. I think it is because it is a meal which she does not get a nursery. We have some prawns in the freezer which we could do with using up. I think this Sunday I am just going to do a simple prawn curry with rice. After all some of the most simple meals are the best ones.

Of course, like every meal plan this is linked up with the amazing Katy. I get a lot of the inspiration from her and the linky which she runs. If you are struggling and consuming the same meals I would recommend checking it out. You may find a meal which you love.

What meals are you planning on consuming this week?

Charlotte xxx

Today I am going to share with you the meals which we have being consuming this week or the ones which we had planned. I have not being feeling that well and this does mean we have not always had them for the meals which I said we would do. This does mean that next week I am likely to do some of the same meals which I said I was going to do this week.  Hopefully you do get some inspirations from the meals which I set out to consume this week .

Meals

Monday-  Chinese Takeaway, Monday is actually my birthday. So I thought we would have a treat and have a Chinese takeaway this is not something which we have done in a long time and I am really looking forward to been able to consume salt and pepper chicken.

Tuesday-   Coconut and Lime Crusted Chicken. Served with rice and mango chutney. I have a number of limes which I need to use up so I though this would be a nice easy meal to use them up with. I do not think I have ever had coconut and lime crusted chicken. For sure this is a meal which I am looking forward to consuming. Of course, we will be reporting how we find this meal.

Wednesday- Quesadillas and Mexican Rice served with tomato and corn salsa. I think this is a recipe which we actually got from the Hello Fresh book. Mexican food is something which in this house we adore and something we do not make enough. This sounds like something different to what we have been having in the last few months so I can not wait for this. I know Joe will enjoy this as well for sure this is a meal which I may make for Jess in the future.

Thursday-  Tomato and Mozzarella basil tart with Salad. Again this is another meal which has come around because I have some tomatoes which need to be used up. Since the weather has become very warm this is why we choose to make this meal. I am hoping this is going to be as nice as the pie which I made recently. I may end up having enough for a lunch as well.

Friday-  Herb Crushed Haddock, I still have some haddock left in the freezer from where I have purchased it reduced. I thought I would turn this in to a meal again this may end up been served with some salad depending on the weather. If not it will have baby potatoes with it. For sure I will share the recipe if this is one which we end up loving in the future.

Saturday-  Homemade Pizza, I am actually at work on Saturday which means that we will be eating separate I think. We have the pizza bases which we picked up in Aldi because they were so cheap.  We have some pizza sauce already which I want to use. I have purchased some pepperoni and chorizo then of course we can put some left over veg on the pizza as well. I know this is a meal which Jess loves it may be served with chips as well.

Sunday-  Poppy seed crusted chicken rigatoni and peas. This is a recipe which I found online.  I fancied a pasta dish because of course this is rare because we usually have at least one of them in. I thought I would do something a bit different as this is not something which we would normally make.  Of course, I will let you know how this works out.

Of course, like every meal plan this is linked up with the amazing Katy. I get a lot of the inspiration from her and the linky which she runs. If you are struggling and consuming the same meals I would recommend checking it out. You may find a meal which you love.

What meals are you planning on consuming this week?

Today I am going to be sharing the meals which we have been consuming this week. Again this week we have been trying to use some of the things we have up this week. I had a look in the fridge and the freezer to see what we could use. This is how I have managed to come up with some of the meals which we have had this week. There are not too many meals which are a repeat which I always find great. You do not want to get stuck in a rut and have the same meals all the time. So on to the meals which we have consumed this week. Hopefully you can find something which inspires you.

Monday- Spicy Spaghetti with garlic mushrooms. I have some mushrooms which need using up so I jumped online to find a recipe which included them. As a result I came across this one it something which I would never have thought about making. Garlic mushrooms are something which I love but would never thought of teaming with spaghetti.  However, it is a meal which I am highly looking forward to. I may even share the recipe if I enjoy it enough so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Tuesday- Chicken and Chorizo Jambalaya. Again I have gone with something which I never have made in the past. I wanted to do some different meals this week. Chorizo is something which we all love in this house so this is going to be a winner. Again this is going to be a meal which I may end up sharing the recipe with if I feel like it is a meal people should make.

Wednesday- Steak, Egg and Chips. I managed to pick up of the 16oz steak which Aldi do. We are going to half this and have it with the sides. This is something which we have done in the past and really enjoyed. Steak is something which we rarely have so this is going to be a good treat for us. I feel like we need a treat I have not been feeling that amazing recently since my knee started playing up.

Thursday- Spicy Sausage Chilli and Rice. This is a meal which I do not think I have made since November time. Originally this is a hello fresh meal but I have made it a number of times since stopping the subscription. This is a twist on a classic meal however, it is one which we still enjoy. I know there is some sausages in the freezer and I am going to use them up.

Friday- Homemade Fishcakes and Chips, this is one which I got from Katy. Fishcakes are something which we have not had in a long time. For some reason I have really gone off the shop bought ones.  I fancied making my own version of these and hopefully these turn out to be really nice. These may end up been served with salad depending on the weather.

Saturday- Ham and Leek Cannelloni, this is a meal which I found on pinterest. I have some leeks to use up and thought this would be a good way to get them used. For sure it is something a little bit different to what we would normally make. I do not think I have ever had cannelloni so I think this is going to be interesting for me.If this is something which we enjoy I will be putting this up as well.

Sunday- Slow cooked butter chicken, this again was from pinterest. I love the sound of it for me it sounds like it is a creamy curry. Curry is something which we all love to consume in this house including Jess. I am sure she will eat it all up. This is going to be served with rice and maybe some nan bread.

Of course, like every meal plan this is linked up with the amazing Katy. I get a lot of the inspiration from her and the linky which she runs. If you are struggling consuming the same meals I would recommend checking it out. You may find a meal which you love.

What meals are you planning on consuming this week?

Today I am going to be sharing with you the meals which we have been consuming this week. I got a lot of inspiration this week from the meal plan linky last week that Katy hosts. Sometimes I would be lost without this linky. This week, of course, has a bank holiday in it which means that we have to feed Jess for another night. I think this is the only difference to a normal week. This weekend I am unsure what we are going to be doing so these meals could end up changing of course. For sure this week, I am looking for to all of the meals which I am going to be making. They are a wide range of different things and I feel like most nights are completely different. So on to the meals which I am going to be consuming this week.

Monday – Creamy Garlic Chicken, this is a meal which we had planned to have last week. However, we ended up going out for my brother’s birthday which I was unsure if we were going to do. This is a meal which I have got from the Pinch Of Nom cookbook which I mentioned in my April Favourites. This is one of the tastiest meals which I think I have cooked from this recipe book. I served this with rice and this is something we all enjoyed. Even Jess managed to eat it all which is always amazing. For sure this is another recipe which I will be making again in the future.

Tuesday- Quiche Lorraine Frittata and New Potatoes.  This is a recipe which I got from Kim. I thought that this was something different from what we normally make. I am going to be making my own quiche for the very first time. I always love to undertake a challenge when it comes to recipes and for sure I think this is going to be. There is likely to be leftovers for sure this is going to be a couple of lunches. For the evening meal, we are going to be having it with herby new potatoes. I will be actually having it with salad when I am going to be using it up.

Wednesday- Mixed Veg Rissotto and Spicy Chicken. This is another recipe which I got Katy’s Linky this one was from Joleisa. This sounds like something different for sure I have made risotto but I am not sure I would have thought of using mixed veg. I love finding new ways of making meals which I have previously. This is a simple meal and for sure this is going to be one which I can see me making again in the future. I can not wait to have this one it is going to be perfect for the summer I am sure.

Thursday- Chicken Fajitas, this is a meal which I adore. We have not had them for a long time so I thought I would add them to our meal plan this week. I am going to season them using spices which we already own instead of actually purchasing a kit. This is going to be interesting to see how this goes. This does mean that I am going to be saving money because the kits can be expensive.  This meal is one of my favorites it is such a classic. It is so simple to make as well and quick which is what we want towards the end of the week when we are tired.

Friday-Fish Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries. I know another week another burger, this is not something we have often. We still have a ton of fish in the freezer which we purchased a reduced price. I am going to turn these into a healthy fish burger which is another healthy alternative. For sure fish burgers are not something which we would order should we be in a restaurant but again I think it was Pinterest which made me want to make this meal. We have decided that we are going to make sweet potato fries instead of normal chips. I will let you know how we get on with this meal.

Saturday- Cheeseburger Pie.  This is a meal which I saw on Katy’s live a few weeks ago. This is something which I would not have seen had it not been for her live. It sounds so different because I know this is something which you would not normally get at a restaurant. If this is a meal which we really enjoy I will share the recipe for it. I feel like this could be the ultimate comfort food and this is something which I need at the moment. Due to my knee and a few other things which are going on I am not feeling amazing. Hopefully, this meal is going to to be one which the whole family enjoy.

Sunday- Taco Hotdogs, Fries and Corn on the cob. This is a meal which I found on Daisies & Pie meal plan.  For sure this is not something which I would have thought about doing either. We have made taco’s a few months ago however, these are on hotdogs. This is one which I am looking forward to and I am sure that Jess and Joe will love this one. I reckon this is another meal which we could see on our meal plans again.

Of course, like every meal plan this is linked up with the amazing Katy. I get a lot of the inspiration from her and the linky which she runs. If you are struggling consuming the same meals I would recommend checking it out. You may find a meal which you love.

What meals are you planning on consuming this week?

Wow, another month this does mean that I have been meal planning for 4 whole months. I hope you have enjoyed actually seeing the meals which we have been consuming over that period of time. There has been a wide range of them. Today I am going to be sharing another meal plan this is week is going to be a little bit different. The reason for this is Joe is actually away for a couple of night this week which means that I am going to be eating food on my own. Obviously, I do not want to be cooking as fancy meals so I am going to try and use a few things up which we have in the freezer.  So on with the meals which I am going to be consuming this week.

Monday- Leek and Potato Pie with Chips. This is something which we have had in the freezer for a while. Joe is actually away this evening so I wanted something just for me. I actually purchased this reduced it is a Pukka Pie. I wanted something super simple because it can hurt to stand and cook due to my injured knee. For sure this is something which I enjoyed. Should I be able to purchase another one reduced I would do this. I am sure this is something which Joe would like as well. You could make your own if you really wanted to do this.

Tuesday- Chicken Katsu Curry, this simple meal for us. We picked up a jar in Asda which was reduced I do not know why this was the case. Katsu curry is something which we love consuming. We served this with rice for sure if we can find the jar of sauce in Asda. If we can not we can always make our own Katsu. If you have not tried it for sure it is something which you need to do. I think this is one of my favourite meals which I have had in a long time. The first time I had this was in Waggamamas only about a year or so ago.

Wednesday- Slimming World Ready Meal, I have one of these in the freezer. Again I am on my own however, this is going to make a lot of room in our freezer. There is a lot of packaging on this meal I can not remember what the meal is. It has been in the freezer for a long time and I do want to be rid of this. I think I must have picked it up in Iceland I will report how good these are. I know there is a number of my followers already on slimming world which is amazing.

Thursday- Pork Black Bean Stir Fry,  we have some pork in the freezer and some stir fry sauce. We need a quick meal because Joe may be home late tonight. So we need something which we can do very quick this is going to be a fast but tasty meal. I am unsure what I am going to be adding into this meal. Stir Fry is something which I am looking forward to it is such an easy meal and one which we love. I do not think we have done one with Pork for a long time.

Friday- Buffalo Veggie Burger, this is something I found on Pinterest. Joe has been saying that he fancies a burger for a long time now. It is something which we do not have a lot for some reason. I do love having a fakeaway because it does stop us ordering a takeaway. We are trying to save money and having a fakeaway helps us do this. I think I am thinking I am going to serve this with some chips as well. For sure I think this is one of the meals which I am looking forward to the most this week.

Saturday- Penne Pizza Bake, this is another meal which we found on Pinterest. Pasta is a meal which Jess loves and of course, she does loves pizza as well. For sure, this is one I can not wait to see how it comes out. This could go one or two ways hopefully it is really nice and this is going to be something which I will share with you. Without Pinterest I am unsure where I would actually manage to get half of the inspiration which I do. I would not have thought of doing this myself.

Sunday- Meal out or BBQ, it is my brother’s birthday this week. So my parents, him and one of his friends are coming over. Depending on the weather to what we actually do. If it is warm we are going to do a BBQ like we managed to host at Easter. If we are not lucky enough to have some amazing weather. We will be actually having a meal out somewhere if we do not manage to have a BBQ. It will be nice to see my parents even though it only has been a couple of weeks it is always nice to see my folks.

Of course, like every meal plan this is linked up with the amazing Katy. I get a lot of the inspiration from her and the linky which she runs. If you are struggling consuming the same meals I would recommend checking it out. You may find a meal which you love.
