MPM: 23rd March 2015



This week is rather fishy.  In the sense that we will be eating quite a lot of fish - not that there is anything suspicious going on. At least, I don't think there is.  If anything crops up, I'll let you know.

So yes, lots of fish on the menu. Which is good news as far as I am concerned - I love fish.  I had a brief vegetarian phase when I was about sixteen but was one of those sort-of-fake ones who continued to eat fish because I just couldn't bear to give it up.  It turned out that I couldn't really stand to give meat up either - it was Christmas dinner that did for me in the end - but the point is that I could entertain the thought of being without meat but not without fish.

The meal plan:

Skate wings with brown butter and caper sauce  (one of my all time absolute favourite dishes.)
Egg, chips and beans (a bump from last week.  The frozen chips lived to fight another day but they WILL be despatched.)
Gnocchi with mussels (or prawns if the mussels remain elusive) and saffron
Soup
Fish and chips (D insists on this once a month and I don't put up much of a fight)
Roast pork with appropriate trimmings

More meal planning fun over at Mrs M's.

  1. Meal plan looks really nice, we hardly ever eat fish ~ although salmon is our new favourite

    1. We love salmon! We often have it with pasta pesto - it's one of our favourite, dead quick dinners, with the salmon cooked mainly skin side down so it ends up lovely and crispy. Yum!

  2. Sounds amazing, we are very unadventurous with fish in this house and don't eat as much as we should x

    1. Emma, have you tried the Fish is the Dish packs? They're in the chilled section of our local supermarket and all look v nice - just fish fillets with matching sauces, might be a good way to try some new stuff without have to go to a lot of trouble cooking it?
