(A very short) Meal Planning Monday – 28th May 2012

Another week where chez Seren we are less in than out and shaking it all about. Or something rather less exciting. We are also still trying to empty the freezer. I believe I first started mentioning this in January. Since we do not have a particularly large freezer, I can only conclude that I am breathtakingly bad at it. Still, as we are due to leave this particular freezer behind in a couple of months, I had better improve my performance.

So....

  • Chickpea and chorizo stew from Nigella’s “Kitchen” with a few tweaks from me. I’m going to skip the crispy spaghettini in the bulgur wheat and use fresh cherry tomatoes, lightly roasted and part blitzed, instead of tinned.
  • Pizza and salad
  • Pan fried salmon fillets with pasta pesto
That’s it! C’est tout! I’m over at the parentals this weekend so I’m hoping there might be some firing up of the barbecue. Which probably means I’ve doomed us all to appalling weather now.

As always, head to Mrs M’s for more meal planning fun.

  1. Haha we'll know who to blame for the rain then ;) I couldn't quite "get" the crispy spaghettini when I saw her make it on TV. Your version sounds lovely :)

    1. No I didn't get the spaghettini either....and we had it last night and just the plain wheat was just fine! Apologies in advance for the rain ;-)

  2. My Mr hates stew but that sounds like a lovely alternative to the norm! The salmon sounds lovely too. Fingers crossed the weather is good at the weekend, we are off to the Hyde Park and I pray it doesn't rain on our picnic, or your bbq! :)

    1. It was really good - not a stew I don't think. I'll hopefully get round to blogging my version this week. Thanks for the good weather wishes.
