Meal Planning Monday (13th February 2012)

Thanks to all last weeks contributions. I will admit as I write this (it's Sunday night) I haven't yet read and commented on all of the posts but never fear, I will. I'm just not that organised this week as there's no big meal planning going on in the M household this week.

It's going to be a simple one.  Today we ate leftover curry from our takeaway last night so our planned fajitas didn't happen and are getting pushed over. Also, my children will be staying with the parentals one night this week which means Mr M and I did a little whoop about not needing to arrange a babysitter and decided we should go out for tea. Then I twigged that Tuesday is in fact Valentines Day and that means no chance of walking in somewhere, so I had to get my bottom into gear and book a restaurant. We've not been out for Valentines Day in TEN YEARS as we prefer to celebrate at home rather in an over-crowded restaurant, eating from an unappealing over-priced set menu and being forced to feel romantic but well, we'll give it ago. Might be the last time for another ten years so I shall make the most of it.  Other nights, I've gone simple as it's a busy week.

Oven baked fajitas (Old El Paso style)
Soup and baguettes 
Pizza 
Toad-in-the-Hole
A curry of some description

Soup will be New Covent Garden's Mexican Chipotle Chicken otherwise known as THE BEST SOUP IN THE WORLD.  Pizza is going to be courtesy of Dr Oetker as I've been sent some vouchers to try out the Casa Di Mama range. I have actually tried these before and there's a story I shall be sharing there....
