Ugh, totally uninspired for cooking this week! I was last week as well - hardly stuck to the menu plan and we ended up getting takeaway one night. The freezer's all out of leftovers as well, except for some tomato passata.
Tonight is beef stew with rye bread. I've been cooking the beef in the oven since 2pm, has warmed the living room up nicely and now there's a lemon coconut cake in there too. I got free lemons and free bread off friends on the weekend :) (Friend of a friend works for a big bakery and sometimes gives huge amounts of 2-day-old bread to my friend, who passes on what she can't fit in her freezer. Really good bread! I just wrap in foil and heat in the oven and it goes all soft again.)
Tomorrow, hmmm, maybe pizza and garlic bread.
Wednesday, I guess I will take some of the passata from the freezer and add to some sauteed onions and mushrooms for a quick pasta sauce. It might be raining in which case we won't go to soccer anyway.
Thursday something with rice, I suppose. Maybe dhal, that's nice and easy and we've not had it in a few weeks.
That's about as far ahead as I can be bothered thinking. There are some sausages in the freezer, some steak, no mince or chicken. Too hard, I need a week off!!
I moved all the furniture in the kids' room around today, and moved Evie's bed in there. Maybe she'll sleep better in with the other two. It looks a bit like a dorm room now - three beds in one corner, a wall of wardrobes/cupboards, a wall of bookshelves/desks. Luckily it's a big room.
