Meal Planning Monday (22nd April 2013)


I don't know about you but I'm getting a little fed-up with just how quickly Mondays are coming around now. I want time to stop for a little bit. Please! I literally do not know where the last few days have gone, I seem to not have time for anything meaningful at the moment so clearly need to organise myself better.

At least meal-planning is a ritual that helps that cause a little, although I do seem to be taking longer than normal deliberating over what we're going to eat each week. I have this desire to try new things all the time, and that takes research. Mr M always complains that we rarely have the same thing twice, even if it's been a rip-roaring success! I ought to work on that...

This week sees a combination of old favourites and a couple of new things to try out. Should be relatively easy to stick to this week apart from Wednesday, when I am going to a gig. That will be our pizza night I'm sure! We also going out for a curry with friends at the weekend so that's another day I don't need to cook!

Pizza
Spaghetti bolognese
Steak & Stilton baguettes with fries
Cheese fondue & dippers 
Thai salmon

We seem to have spaghetti bolognese at least once a week in this house - it's the children's favourite food, outside of a roast dinner and they're always asking for it. They were mightily disappointed when I broke the news that actually we won't be eating bolognese in Bologna this summer as it doesn't actually exist over there.

Ok over to you guys and gals. We're always open to welcoming new people into #mealplanningmonday so if this is the first time you've stumbled across this the idea is simple - all you have to do is 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.  

The Link Party for April is still active if you've got any recipes blogged this month that you'd like to pimp out! You can check it out here.

Look forward to reading your blog posts!

  9. Just wanted to drop in and say 'hi'. I found you only yesterday, but thought you were the perfect place to link up my family meal planner post. I hope that's ok? I love the idea of supporting each other to feed our families, so I'll be dropping in regularly now. Thank you so much for hosting!

  10. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like
    yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  11. Rising prices for gas, electricity and other basics of the cost of living mean that many people are finding their
    budget stretched more than in the past. This puts many consumers on a "perpetual debt treadmill," according to the Fact Sheet.
    The payday loan lenders almost hope that you can't meet the first payment so that you start accruing interest rates that are extremely high.

  16. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright
    violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I've
    either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is
    popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help stop content
    from being stolen? I'd certainly appreciate it.
