MPM: 27th April 2015



Greetings everyone, and welcome to a more summery meal planning Monday than I can remember for a good long while.  The weather is, quite simply, GLORIOUS.  Which means that meals are tending to be a bit lighter and a bit fresher.
 
D and I are out Friday at a colleague's retirement drinks, out Saturday at a local event and leaving Sunday and Monday plan free at the moment until we decide how the long weekend is going to pan out.  So, not many meals to think about in advance this week.  Here's what we we will eating chez WWF...
 
Brown crab risotto with crab and chilli cakes and Parmesan crisps - a dish inspired by our recent trip to Whitby, where all along the seafront you can buy fabulous dressed crabs.
 
Bacon, egg and roasted asparagus salad with a honey mustard dressing
 
Trout with cauliflower and pickled mushrooms with brown butter sauce - D will be cooking this, an approximation of one of the dishes cooked in Masterchef finals week.  We are both in a very fishy mood at the moment!
 
Pea and ham soup.
 
Mmmm, looking forward to that little lot.  As ever, more meal planning fun over at Mrs M's...

  1. We've just bought a barbecue, so Sunday or Monday, weather and walking permitting will in fact be barbecued spatchcock chicken - with or without some kind of tandoori rub/marinade

    1. It does, doesn't it? Unfortunately, SOMEONE forgot to mention that we were nearly out of risotto rice, so we ended up with crab spaghetti. Still determined to cook my original dish though. x

    1. Awww, thank you, that's so sweet! I am sure that meal planning is an awful lot easier when you've only got two greedy, non fussy adults to consider!
