Meal Planning Bank Holiday Monday

-

Another week of meals made by me and the children. My eldest is 15 and 6 feet tall. When do I stop calling him a child? And yet, the Princess at 11 is still very much a child.

Monday; Roast leg of lamb, potatoes, mint sauce and three kinds of vegetables
Tuesday; Curry and rice. I'm showing my YA how to take care of himself.
Wednesday; Chicken with ? I can't decide; it might be chorizo and red pepper, baked, and served with couscous. I think it will be.
Thursday; Sausages with pasta
Friday; Pizza Hut to celebrate a birthday that happened a couple of weeks ago (my middley is 13!)
Saturday; Family Party to celebrate a niece's birthday (16)
Sunday; ??? Can't decide yet.

The meals are palling on me. I need to get the recipe books out and find some alternatives that use our regular basics but just have a twist.

    I know what you mean about falling into habits, I keep falling back on old favourites. It all sounds delicious though.

    Love a lamb roast although haven't been brave enough to cook one myself! All sounds lovely. I find it hard to get inspiration for meals too and always seem to spend a fortune each week. Hard trying to get a meal that the little one (9mths) can eat too to save separate cooking.

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...

Hallowe'en... good or bad?

-

For years when mine were little, we studiously avoided Hallowe'en. We went to the Church's Light Party (if fancy dress was in order, it was superheroes, or princesses not witches or skeletons) and made little or no adjustment to the daily order, so no bobbing for apples, peeling skins for divination or any thing that smacked of magicality at all. It worked for us; we didn't go Trick or treating, and those who visited us were politely told, "We don't celebrate Hallowe'en here" The children grew up sensible and well-adjusted, they don't do gross horror films and I'm proud of them. This year they are all old enough to make up their own mind. The lads are easy; if it involves effort, then they're not bothered. But the Princess is a great joiner, and wants to be part of her group. So when a friend invited her to a Hallowe'en party I gave her the option; of course the answer was yes. "I'm not celebrating Hallowe'en," she said,...
