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
