Meal Planning Monday 30 January 2012



I have to say that I'm finding meal planning most helpful.  I'm not ending the week with lots of out of date foods and soggy salad/veg that needs using up.  My grocery bills also seem to have dropped a bit too, so I think I'll be continuing with this for some time.   


Here in Spain it is more normal to eat a big lunch than a dinner.  As my girlies have got used to this from being at school, I've continued at home.  It's certainly easier to prepare a cooked meal in the middle of the day during the summer months than it is in the heat of early evening.


My menus always seem to be a little samey too, not to the extent of it it's Monday it's bolognaise, but I do tend to repeat successes rather frequently.  So I'm hoping to try a few new meals out too.  I managed to stick quite well to last weeks menu and even managed to bake these - using up some soggy bananas I had - delicious and definitely on the do again list.





 Now this weeks we will probably be eating


Paprika Chicken
Fideos
Nearly Lasagne
Sausage Pasta Bake
Fajitas

BNM Fideos are like minestrone pasta, it's a hot chicken soup dish and quite delicious.

Kirsty Nearly lasagne is lasagne with macaroni or shells etc. in place of the pasta sheets!!!
