Meal Planning Monday (3rd March 2014)


Good morning. Hope it's sunny where you are today? It's a beautiful but chilly day here today. Can't believe it's March already though? Where is the year going? It's ridiculous. Though quite frankly my life seems to be going from bad to worse on a weekly basis so I'd quite like to go to sleep and wake up a few months into the future when hopefully it's improved!

Enough doom and gloom!

I'm starting a new work pattern this week (enforced) and therefore will find myself at home a lot more. Well actually I'll find myself at home permanently (working from home, minimally). The upside is - more time for cooking so I am going to try and embrace that, even if I can't really afford the ingredients...woe is me.  Here is my plan;

Toad-in-the-hole, mash and peas
Lamb rogan josh curry
JO fajitas
Pecorino & parma ham salad
Chinese-style lemon chicken
Roast dinner (chicken probably!)

Not exactly exciting and inspiring but it's a plan all the same!

Once again, it's your turn. I haven't had the time recently to comment on everyones posts but will try harder this week now I have a bit more free time (or that is the theory!).

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.  

Don't forget to join our Facebook group and check out our Pinterest board for more inspiration!
