midlife monday: omg, what have i done?


frosty out, originally uploaded by ebbandflo_pomomama.

But enough of that.

What I have done is set up my meal plan for the month.
Here's what the boys will be eating for the next week (note: I only cook Mon-Fri - mr ebb takes over weekend duties).

Monday: mac and cheese (and for lunches thereafter)
Tuesday: slow cooker chorizo casserole, utilising wilted spinach leaves, beans, chickpeas, tomatoes and anything else that will fit in the crockpot (the word is bulk, people, bulk!)
Wednesday: nachos with chicken strips
Thursday: pizza or lasagne or whatever's in the freezer
Friday: soup and something light before swimming lessons

I've made a batch of lentils for salads and mixed up some fresh humus.

... plus a lemon cheese cake and some lemon white chocolate cranberry bars to sweeten life without a stay-at-home mum for the next few weeks.

Gulp! Wish me luck for tomorrow's early start.

PS: more recipe ideas here.

Mmm, love mac and cheese. There was a recipe I tried from Martha, of all the people, with toasty, buttery breadcrumbs baked on top. So good. But I'm bad because I so rarely follow recipes I probably shouldn't say it was her recipe.

i make all mine up as i go along, with scant reference to the recipe book (usually because i don't have the ingredients)
I really need to get on meal planning. Standing around in my kitchen, annoyed and hungry at 5:45pm, is no longer cutting it. The sad thing, though, is that I gave my crock pot away a number of years ago. I am now crock pot less. I don't know what I was thinking.

My crockpot is my sanity.
