Meal Planning Monday

-
My my how time flies! It doesn't seem a week since my last weekly meal plan. Barely seven days?
I have more applications to do; more online torments to undergo. I want to learn how to design free printables (and some I can charge for) for Childminders. Ho hum.

 But Monday it is, and here is the list for the week.

 Monday; Tuna Pasta. From Apples for Jam, one of my favourite cook books. I loved it enough to review it on Amazon and I keep it just to look at the pictures and dream of having a recipe book that captures a childs' eye view so well.
Tuesday; Sausages with Cheese pie, well, mash with a toasted cheese topping. An idea from the hairy Bikers. Love them.
Wednesday; Spicy Bean pot with baked potato. A warm but not rampaging hot chilli.
Thursday; Moroccan Chicken with rice. A St Delia classic. She made hers with lemons; I use rather less citric fruit.
Friday; For the kids; Meatball marinara sub with chips, homemade not from Subway. The Co-op make nice meatballs or I may make fresh. For us, either rib eye steak (a favourite Friday treat) or sweet chilli salmon steak with mash and broccoli.
Saturday; Meal at my Mother's
Sunday; A lunch time birthday party means we can have cheese on toast. If I'm feeling fancy, I may fiddle and make Welsh rarebit. Love it.

    Tues is tuna pasta bake night every week in our house. It's one of the days I work and G always does this for the children. It's simple and they love it.
    I used to buy the quorn swedish meatballs and then they changed the recipe and they all went off them! I now buy the co-op ones they love those, although they didn't like the sweet chilli ones that they trialled recently.

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

"small elements of my home that I do not detest and that I have photographed so as to eliminate all traces of dirt and detritus". I love reading all the blogs on my list. I love reading all the house books that I can lay my hands on, ripping them to pieces and sticking them into my inspiration books. I won't get into how much more time I have to actually do things around my house if I don't go on t'internet and how much more money I would have available if I didn't have this programmed need to buy buy buy ..... I admire the true homemakers, I really do. I have a hankering to have a successful business, clean house and a family who can find matching socks without looking in three different places and finally finding the match half way behind the sofa cushion where it's been for three weeks so that I have to wash it before they can wear it and they either have to wear it wet, in which case I worry about pneumonia, or start again on the quest for a pair with ...
