Menu Plan Monday
Firstly, I need to say a big Happy Birthday to my baby brother! He’s 22 today. (P.S. Thanks for the wine yesterday - mwah!)
But onto the menu plan for this week. It’s nothing really exciting actually, but I’ll see what I can do about that as I go…
Monday - we’re out, hopefully eating some $7 roast at the local bowls club because after the $9 kids meals and $30 steak meals we had yesterday I’m feeling the need for some cheaper meals since we’re having to be out. We’re off to our first Lions meeting at a potential club. Hubby’s parents were members there before moving north and judging by the number of phone calls we had they’re looking forward to meeting us (personally I think the just want the extra membership numbers and more people so they don’t have to get up at 4am on Sunday mornings for the markets anymore….)
Tuesday - Spaghetti Bolognaise. Which I’m going to attempt in the slow cooker. And doing a double batch. I think if I brown the mince in the frypan and then dump everything into the slow cooker it’ll work out all right, but this is an experiment. Even so I plan on doing a double batch.
Wednesday - I’m out at a meeting again, so planning some sort of chicken casserole in the slow cooker. I can definitely see the slow cooker living on the bench this winter.
Thursday - Lasagne using the other half of the slow cooked bolognaise sauce from Tuesday. I have thought about putting it in the slow cooker (the lasagne recipe I use is actually a slow cooker lasagne recipe) but I think if I just assemble before soccer training and throw in the oven when we get home we should be able to eat by 6 :30 which isn’t too late.
Friday - Bangers and Mash. The last thing I feel like doing on Friday is cooking, but something this easy could work. I’ll let you know if it actually gets cooked.
Saturday - Steak and veg. Or possible a pasta bake of somekind.
Sunday -Toasted Sandwiches

I did just what you are trying with the spag a few weeks ago and it worked beautifully. Hope you get a bit less busy week this week
I do my spag bol in the slow cooker too! But you know what is even betterer?
Make meatballs, chuck em in raw with a heap of grated vegies, your spaghetti sauce (I make my own with a base of passata) make sure that it is really liquidy and then about 30mins before you are read to eat chuck the pasta in raw. It absorbs the liquid, tastes AMAZING and you don’t have to use another pot!
Like the idea o f the spag bol in the slow cooker. Will have to try it myself!
Ooh thanks for the tips Kelley, I didn’t end up doing it until last night but it was possibly a little more liquidy than normal - Might have to strain one tin of the tomato’s next time. The girls said it tasted different, but nicer than normal - so that’s a winner!
