Meal Planning Monday - 4th March 2013

I feel unusually chipper this Monday morning. I doubt it will last, but I shall enjoy it in the meantime. Anyway, for once, I have a vague sort of meal plan which will take me up to the weekend at least.


Last night I roasted a chicken – a gorgeously plump, golden thing, and the leftovers will form the basis of two meals this week:

o Cold meat with home made potato salad and mixed leaves (a nod to spring)

o Pasta pollo pesto – a remake of a dish that they serve in Pizza Express, basically a creamy pesto pasta bake with chicken and mushrooms. If it turns out well I may blog it.

Then we have a mid week fishy interlude:

o Pan fried salmon with curried mussels – yum. Another one to blog, I think.

Thursday I’m out at a leaving do. There’ll be a second portion of pasta bake in the fridge but I may end up just eating toast. Then…

o For the foreseeable future, I’m declaring Friday night Burger Night. I have some gorgeous steak burgers in the freezer one of which I’m going to enjoy in a crusty roll with slappy cheese, ketchup and pickle. Side will be potato wedges or salad depending on the points situation.

Not sure about the weekend, but hopefully I’ll be seeing my Mum at some point and my brother has suggested I bake her a cake which I think is an excellent idea.

Head over to Mrs M’s for more meal planning fun…

    Burger Friday's should be made national! Your week sounds fab, I love roasting a chicken and making it last, should do it more often. Can't wait to hear more about the cake and good luck with WW x

    I may have had crumble (it was yummy!) but your menu looks so much more exciting than mine. Friday burger nights I agree with Stephanie sould something Friday were made for.

    Hope your week continues in the happy mood :-)

    Yeah, agree with Foodie Quine, what is slappy cheese? Could it be what we call "plastic cheese"? Burger sounds awesome anyway!

    Lol - yes, slappy cheese = plastic cheese slices. Essential for a good burger!
