Is it just me or is this year whizzing by? I'm in shock a little that we have reached February already when it feels like just yesterday we were counting down to Christmas! I am however looking forward to the arrival of spring, enjoying more time outdoors as a family, going on holidays and eating fresh salads al fresco. Hopefully Valentine's Day and half term will bring some excitement too. Bring on that sunshine.
Here is the menu for the week ahead
- The Mini Mes have chicken burgers quite frequently at their dad's house so I decided these would be good to try at home too. I've not had one in a very long time so I'm rather looking forward to a 'fakeaway'
- I've not decided what flavour to make as yet but classic tomato and basil is always popular. I'm tempted to try something new though
- There is some salmon left in the freezer so this will be combined with tomato, cream cheese and chilli in a delicious bake
- Making food fun always encourages the kids to eat more so making our own pizza is a great idea. I usually pop a load of toppings in bowls and let them go wild once I've made the dough!
- I love the Tesco finest range sausages with lashings of gravy. My Yorkshire Puddings are always requested as I must admit they turn out fantastically!
I managed to lose 18lb last month which is an incredible achievement and I'm hoping to lose 10lb this month too by watching what I eat and exercising more.
What's on your menu this week?

ReplyDeleteAhh, Yorkshire pudding! Checked out your recipe and they look so delicious, so I will have to try. Need to make it gluten free so will try to substitute GF flour. Hope it works.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds lovely...all of it.Definitely going to have a go at the chicken burgers as they are a favourite of my daughters .
ReplyDeleteGreat menu, I love homemade soup and homemade bread as it's so warming and comforting in this cold weather x
ReplyDeleteGreat meal ideas
ReplyDeleteFab menu :) think we will have a go at some lovely homemade soup & homemade bread this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI love homemade soup too - I tend to batch cook it on the weekend and then freeze it in micro mugs ready to take into work the following week. My fave is potato and leek as its just so easy to do and you can add in other bits as well to make it fresh each day so I might add left over carrots one day or some chicken another
ReplyDeleteSalmon and gnocchi bake sounds delicious
ReplyDeleteSpaghetti Bolognese but the slimming version :)
