Menu plan 4 Aug 08

Last week would have gone a lot smoother if I'd managed to plan the shopping as well as our meals. I was still on the uphill stretch from being sick (today is the first time I've felt like I had any energy) and I couldn't get my head around more than one day at a time. By Thursday night I'd dropped the culinary bundle completely, we had KFC for dinner *sigh*, then on Friday we had pizza (not homemade). On Saturday I bought Cornish Pasties and sausage rolls (I figured the kids weren't going to go for the pasties) and served them up with oven baked potato wedges, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower with cheese sauce so that was a bit better, and tonight we've had ricotta and sundried tomato ravioli with mediterranean sauce and baby spinach.

This week starts off easy with things I already have in the freezer and I won't have to do any grocery shopping till Wednesday, assuming I've bought enough bread and milk to get us through till then!
