Meal Planning Monday (15th April 2013)


Good morning!

Sorry I am so late with  #mealplanningmonday today. I had to go to the dentist this morning (sad face) but I am back now (with a £174 bill, double sad face) and ready to get on with meal planning!

I was a bit naughty last week, diet-wise so trying to be good this week. Going to Cornwall didn't help what with all those hot chocolates, cream teas and pasties! I'm trying to be super-good through the day so that I can enjoy my dinner at night, although still trying to keep that relatively healthy. 

Yesterday I spent a few hours filing recipes, I have more recipes pulled out of magazines and printed off websites that I could ever cook - 7 lever arch files - but I like them for inspiration. Really need to go through and start marking out things to cook.  

The meal plan for this week looks like this

Winter cobb salad
Thai salmon & rice
Enchiladas
Samosas with salad, bombay potato and rice
Red Thai prawn curry
Pulled pork & baps

I've recently started getting these large tasty samosas from some Asian caterers and they are incredible. In fact, I have 60 of them in my freezer. Whoops!

Okay, over to you - you've all had a good head start today! If you're new to my blog or #mealplanningmonday all you have to do is this - write a blog post about your meal plan for the week and submit the URL of your post using the Linkytools below. If you've not got a blog but want to join in, that's fine - just leave a comment below telling us what you're planning this week.  Any questions, just holler at me via email (in the contact page) or on Twitter @madamding.  

Over the past few month or so I've tried to drum up some interest on Twitter and lots of people have been talking about #mealplanningmonday so I'm so glad that we've got so many new joiners. I hope that you'll all stick with it, it's great having so much inspiration.   I've been a bit slack on commenting recently but will make an extra effort to get around them all this week.

Before I go, as I've mentioned before my monthly recipe Link Party for March is active and so if you've make something that you want to share, add it to the Linky on that page which you can find HERE

Look forward to reading your blog posts!

  5. I don't like dentists either and its all down to the fear of the bill at the end of it. But needs must if we are to enjoy lots of yummy food in the future as I really don't fancy eating mush!


    Have a great week
