Meal Planning Monday

Well I guess I'd best get back into the swing of things after a week of feeling quite under the weather. I still feel quite unwell, most likely a cold - ill bundle myself off to the doctors today and get the groceries afterwards!  No rest for the wicked.. :) 

Here is the meal plan for the week, my apologies for not getting the recipe's from last week on here, as I was sick, some of my meals were changed or hubby cooked for the evening. For example tonight we went with Tomato's on toast.. exciting huh?! LOL.

So here goes; The meals highlighted in red will get their recipe posted later in the week :-)

Monday: 
Chicken Soup! (I think its in order for this sick girl!)  Plus I love it, and ill make a large batch and freeze the extras!

Tuesday:
Ceasar chicken wraps.

Wednesday:
Spaghetti Bolognaise Pasta Bake - a slight twist on the original because Mr 6 has decided he no longer likes Spaghetti Bolognaise & I think ill be able to con him into eating this way!

Thursday:
Beef, Tomato and Mushroom casserole.

Friday:
No cook night!

Saturday:
Beef Nacho's with sour cream & guacamole.

Sunday:
Roast of the Week - Lamb! :)

Recipe's to come during the week.

Sorry to all of my regular blog readers, Iv had a little bit of a blogging break whilst I have been feeling unwell.. But I will hopefully be back on board tomorrow with lots of lovely catch up posts from the week just gone! :)

But right now, off to rest up and recuperate! xo

20 weeks..

Tonight was the first night I have woken up and my belly hasn't deflated on me! Granted its a really bad piccy, scratches, blaring flash and all.. but a moment I felt worth capturing! LOL. Ill take a better piccy and upload it with an ultrasound pic or 2 from the morning as we are going for our 20 week scan.. that is if the little one is cooperating of course!

A Busy Weekend!

Wow! What a busy weekend we have just had, problem is, it's now Sunday night and I'm totally not prepared for Monday! I feel like I need a weekend to recoup after the weekend..

What kept us busy this weekend? 

The kids kicked off their weekend with a sleepover at Grandma's house on Friday night (which they haven't done for a long time) meanwhile no rest for the wicked, I caught up on a late night grocery shop and even managed to watch a movie off of the IQ box (I have about 30 shows to catch up on, since I've been falling asleep so early each night) I cant wait to catch up on Glee, Desperate Housewives and Better Homes and Gardens!  On Saturday I woke up motivated to go to the markets, so with my Mum and two kids in tow we set off for a baby and children's market. I bought some MCN's and an organiser for my fridge and then we proceeded to 'get lost' in the big smoke, had lunch and checked out a few more shops before heading home and calling it a day.  By the time we got home, it was time to head to the drive-in's where Tangled & Tron were playing - I love the drive-in ($25 for 2 movies for 6 people.. whats not to love!) we load up the car with pillows, blankets, snacks and drinks and have a great time (despite the fact I slept through all of Tron, I found it quite boring..) So that was Saturday!

Today, being Sunday was just as full.. after school mass it was onto the Baby and Kids market, which I adored! It was like being a kid in a candy store.. so many great buys, we certainly didn't leave empty handed (more on that later this week).  Next onto IKEA and more great buys.. nothing major, just a few organisation type products that will come in handy around the home and finally onto HOME!

So yes, a bigger weekend than what I have been used to of late.. I think I might sleep now!

Meal Planning Monday...

Well I have my brother staying with me this week, so the meals I plan will have to be large enough to accommodate 3 adults and 1 child most evenings and i'm finding that now swimming lessons have started back up, Monday and Wednesday nights have to be a meals of convenience (or slow cooker meals) as we're not back from the pool in time to cook anything too involved!  Iv also had to mix up my non-cook night & weekly roast to accommodate next weekends upcoming activities, glad we can be flexible :P

So here is our weekly meal plan for this week;

Monday -      Caesar Chicken Wraps.

Tuesday -      Devilled sausages served with mashed potato & vegetables.

Wednesday -  Beef Stroganoff served with rice.

Thursday -     Pork Cutlets served with side salad.

Friday -         Roast of the week - chicken with roast vegetables.

Saturday -     No cooking night!

Sunday -        Hot dogs with the lot...

I will add recipe's and pictures as the week progresses..

Colourful Cookies & Cupcakes..

Well today it was all about baking with sprinkles.. Indi wanted to do some more baking, but the catch everything had to have 100 & 1000's in it! So we had a crack at some Smartie Cookies & Some colourful Honey Sprinkle cupcakes..  I must admit we took a bit of a shortcut on these ones and used packet mixes but added our own sprinkles, honey etc - but it was the weekend afterall :)
