Family food menu planning ideas
I’ve got two more meals left this week before my in-laws come to visit and babysit for us (yay!) while we go to see Leyton Orient play football in Cheltenham and spend an evening having a meal out together somewhere but have bought some pork chops to make mustard/cider pork chops and some stewing beef for hungarian goulash.
Tonight we ate:
(Kids) Tuna pasta bake
I always forget about this one which is strange as they both *love* it, it is easy to make and I always have all the ingredients in. Surprising that they don’t end up having it every night. Pasta with a cheese sauce with additional tin of tuna & sweetcorn, grated cheese on top and under the grill for a couple of minutes to make it look more appealing.
(Grown ups) Quorn lemon & black pepper things with sprouting brocolli and new potatoes
Not my favourite but there they were in the freezer and I opted for an easy dinner
Yesterday we ate:
Wheat free lasagne
What a revolution for someone who can’t eat wheat but loves lasagne - buy sheets of non-wheat lasagne from the local health food store and make the cheesey sauce using cornflour instead of plain flour. Delicious. Even more delicious having more heated up for lunch today as something magic happens to it overnight in the fridge.
Sunday we ate:
Roast chicken, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots, peas, cauliflower, stuffing and gravy
Thank you Bealers! No idea how to cook a roast myself but do enjoy eating them… (Kids then had refried, sliced roasties for tea the next evening and we had loads of chicken sandwiches/salads)
