Meal Planning Monday (20th February 2012)

So it's come around again, Monday morning. Normally I'm not too blue about Mondays but today I just feel bleurgh, can't quite put my finger on what it is but my inspiration and motivation have gone right out of the window!

Last week's meal planning didn't go to far wrong, the pie I made was epic and I shall be blogging that later this week. This week's meal planning is - easy. No new recipes, quick, convenience food.  Yesterday I was just feeling too lethargic to put much effort into it and didn't want to set myself up for a big fall either by being too ambitious this week. 

Spaghetti Bolognese
Pancakes
Pizza
Fishcakes & veggies
Nachos

Told you. It's a low maintenance week. I'm also trying not to overeat as this week I plan to start losing some weight, so I shall be trying to have low-fat versions of meals!

Of course as you can see, Tuesday will be pancakes. We never have any other meal on Shrove Tuesday as I can face dinner AND pancakes so the pancakes become the dinner. I'm such a purist too, lemon and sugar all the way and perhaps a bit of Golden Syrup. (Actually craving that on toast now so once I am back from the school run...). 

Thanks to everyone who joined in last week, I think I managed to comment on them all!  The Linky is below so feel free to link to your blog post this week. I'll pop along to see what you've got planned.

  1. Ooh - snap! We've got similar meal plans this week. Pancakes for lunch for me as the kids don't like them. Well, actually I started early and made blueberry pancakes yesterday. Yum.

  2. Another pancake purist over here! Although this year I am considering trying them out with chocolate Philadelphia (as well as the obligatory lemon juice and sugar).
