Meal Planning Monday (9th January 2012)

Happy Monday everyone!

How did your meal planning go last week? Everyone stick to it? I have to say mine slipped a little due to illness in the house which means some of them will be made this week. Both myself and my daughter succumbed to a virus which made us both very lethargic and headachy with a loss of appetite but we seem to be recovering and I'm hungry today, which is a very good sign indeed!

Last week was a BUMPER week for Meal Planning Monday (even if four of the entries were from BareNakedMummy...) and I do hope that all the new joiners will stick with us. I enjoyed spending half an hour last night reading through all the meal plans and being introduced to some new fab blogs along the way!

Right. The meal plan. It looks a little like this 

Battered sweet and sour chicken with rice
Spaghetti bolognese
Chicken fajitas (Jamie Oliver recipe)
Fish pie
Slow cook steak and mushrooms, with dauphinoise
A curry of some sort

I also plan to make a coconut and lime cake, and if I have time a rhubarb, pear and vanilla crumble - depending on whether I can get rhubarb or not obviously!

The Linky is below, let me see your plans!

love & kisses

Liking the sound of coconut & Lime cake. I need cake inspiration. I am in a chocolate cake rut at the moment.

I like the sound of your Steak and Mushroom dish. I have restarted my meal planning for the new year - will try and post a link later.

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling too well, hopefully the worst is behind you now! Chicken fajitas sound delicious, especially made by Jamie O. :)

Mine seems a bit messy but I couldn't help it, I like food!

I should think more about my meals as well.
The 'Slow cook steak and mushrooms, with dauphinoise' sounds interesting.

we always make those Jamie fajitas - such a good recipe

Hello, I love how you post your meal plans and so many of the ideas are great. I also tend to use Jamie Oliver recipes (they are easy to replicate at home and very often fast to do). I'm a new member of the bloggosphere and will be checking in regularly on At Home with Mrs. M.
I'm inspired by the fish pie. I'll take a look at the recipe and try to do it myself as well.

Haven't got a relevant post to post yet! But can say that we are eating the same large meal almost all this week (Clever Cottage Pie made with half the beef - so goes further - and loadsa pulses and beans, with sweet potato & swede mash). I like the look of this and will link up soon! -HMx
