Late Weekly Dinner Plan!

 

 

Hiiii!!! What a week!! I've been trying to reclaim my life and have applied for a course!! Whoooopppp!! I have had interviews and assessments and CV writing etc and am way late posting the weeks plans for dinner.

I didn't place the online order on time so all the delivery slots were full until late this evening, luckily I had some bits carried over from previous weeks that I could use but I wanted to add the days already gone for a record of what I cooked and also to plan the rest of the weeks meals.


Monday - Chicken Alfredo (with fusilli pasta)

Tuesday - Homemade Chicken Pie with Oven Chips and Mixed Veg

Wednesday - Thai Green Curry Prawns with Rice. (first time making TGC!!)

Thursday - Szechuan Chicken with Noodles and Mini Spring Rolls

Friday - Turkish Bread Pizza

Saturday - Korean Chicken Wings (3 types) and Macaroni Cheese. (I'll have macaroni and veg)

Sunday - Brown Stew Chicken with Rice And Peas


Thanks for stopping by x-x

Remeber me?? and This week's Family Dinner Plan.

 

 

Ahemmm remember me?? well I can just about remember me!! I have been lost for a while but I'm trying to get my life back!! ((Dramatic much??)) 

I am making an effort to get back to me.... well maybe not back to me... there's lots of tings that I would rather not get back to but, I want to maybe become the me that I want to be.... so more get to me than back to me but the sentiment still stands lol!!

I am trying to be more organised, to find joy in things... both things I used to find joy in and also new things. I used to love blogging... both posting and reading other blogs.

I used to love posting videos and crafting and all kinds of things that I no longer do.... I am in a place I don't like.... I have been ill - both physically and emotionally for soooo long, I have low energy... low motivation and just lowness ((Is that a word??))

 

Soooooo with all that doom and gloom aside, I am making a start with the blogging lol... so erm... hi!!

 

I have been doing dinner plans at home and it really helps me be motivated, inspired and also on the days when life is a struggle, I have dinner planned out and ingredients already in .... it really does help.

i introduced themed weeks which

 

The last week has been a struggle even to get the motivation to cook and it's been a chore...(the cooking part isn't bad.. it's the getting to the kitchen to start) soooo..... I thought posting the meal plans would help keep me motivated in both posting and cooking!!

As I am plant based I really just plan food I'm cooking for the family. I will have the carb/starch and add veggies or salad to it.

This weeks Dinners:

Monday - Meatball Pasta Bake

Tuesday - Tuna and Rice (will decide if I'll do cold (tuna mayo) or hot (tomato tuna)

Wednesday - Chicken Curry, Naan Bread and samosas

Thursday - Jacket Potatoes with Chilli and cheese

Friday - Paella

Sayurday - Korean Style Chicken Wings and chips

Sunday - Roasted Salmon and new Potatoes with Green beans.

I used this list to place my online grocery shop so that was helpful too (😊)

Helloooo and Clean With Me - Kitchen, Dining Room, Passage and Bathrooms

 Hiiii! What a year 2021 was.... I know.... I’ve left this blog for over a year 😫

It’s been such a horrible few years but also so many good things have happened and I mustn’t be ungrateful for those.

I will do a proper catch up at some point but I have so many chores that if I’m honest, I have left the, for a while sooooo how about you keep me company while I do them?

This “zone” normally takes around an hour or so but as it’s been a while since I have left it I think it will take a little longer so music on, head in the chore game and let’s gooooo 😊

(As usual with these cwm posts, pls excuse any typo’s as I am on mobile and typing as I go)

Meal Plan Monday - Mon 02/03 - Sat 07/03

I have started back with my Diner Menu/Plan The boys and hubby kept *hinting* to me that they wanted it to start back and then someone actually wrote a message on the board saying "start this again !!!!" lololol

So I have.

It really does help to organise and budget when I do the plan and also on the days when the horid black cloud tries to keep me down, knowing exactly what I am making for everyone helps.

For my own meals I normally just have the carb/starch that I cooked for everone with some veg or salad. If the carb has dairy in it I'll just have cereal or a sandwich. I'm still not doing so well with my eating, I have realised I'm not getting enough nutrients and sometimes if I'm honest, calories. I am trying to keep my mindset towards food to be healthy. I am really working on losing this weight but it has to be healthy.

Soooooo..... here's this weeks Diners:

Monday - Chicken Strips and Crispy Potatoes

Tuesday - Salmon and Pasta

Wednesday - Chicken and Couscous

Thursday - Fish and Rice

Friday - Spaghetti (I'll decide what I'm cooking with it)



Please let me know of any blogs that have meal plan tips/ideas.

Phewww!! I am soooooooooo tired (and still peed off😡😡😅)

I’m glad it’s done though, it really needed to be done.... like yesterday..... or maybe the day before that.
For some strange reason, our broom has disappeared so I was waiting to get one.... I wanted to get in the car so I didn’t have to hold it but today I just thought forget that... I’ll just buy it and carry it as I wanted to tackle the yucky mess.

I tried out the steam mop and it's so good, the floor cloths worked as a "for now" option - I tied the front and pinned the back 😳 -  but I will probably look for the actual Vax cloths.
I also found that it didn't get some stubborn bits off.

The cloud is making itself known and I just want to go and hibernate in my room,

Thanks for keeping me company 💖✨

Can I get a record skip sound effect please🙄😡

I had to stop the cleaning to deal with a kiddie “situation” grrrrrrr kids!!!! 

Also sons number 4 and 2 came in so I had a check in with them both.

Ok back to cleaning,

4th set of tasks (is it 4th? I’ve lost count😅)
Sweep floor
Mop floor
Put dinner on - slight change in planned meal due to kiddie situation taking up time.

Grrrrr I’m so peed off..... ok gospel back on and cleeeeaaaannnnnnn

That was actually quick and the dishwasher took mercy on me and worked 2nd time/try.
I had a little chat break as my eldest came in from work😍💖

Onto the floors and put dinner on.

I found my Vax Steam Mop when I was decluttering my cupboard and I really want to use it today, first snag is I have no instructions nor can I remember how to use it, second snag is I don’t have the cloth to go on it😫😫 I bought some large heavy floor cloths and am hoping they’ll work.

Send cleaning blessings that it works pleeeaaase... ✨

Yikes! “Just a little job” turns out to be a bit bigger lol.

Right that lot of tasks is done, I also sorted out the recycling as the bag was overflowing.
Oh and I also sprayed my cooker hood and stove with some stainless steel cleaning spray.

The cleaning spray smells sooooo lovely.

3rd set of tasks:
Empty Diswasher (we’ve had to do a few loads) and put contents away
Load and start dishwasher (gonna be task in itself as the dishwasher is playing up)
Clean cooker hood and cooker top


Of I gooooooo......

I’m listening to gospel music and it’s really uplifting while doing the chores
Song playing right now is Kirk Franklin - spend my always... I think I need to take it from the top 🙌🏽😭 🎶

Ok gone for real now😊

Wow that took longer than expected lololol!!!
Clutter seems to have a life of its own.

It’s surprising how a little work makes things look so much better.

I need to sort the bag more at some point but it’s ok for today, I need a place for hats and scarves, gloves etc that’s “eye catching” so the boys can grab and go and not be searching in the mornings.


I did a bit pf meal planning and updated the Diner Board aswell.


2nd set of tasks: make a batch of cleaning spray
                           Make a batch of clothes softener
                           Put washing in dryer and a new load into washer
                           Clear table and sides and clean with cleaning spray



Back sooooonnnnn!

Humph! Why did I leave my essential oils upstairs😫😅

Firstly settle my youngest with a snack after the school run and change my clothes into something comfy (I decide my Christmas tshirt and tracksuit bottoms)

1st set of tasks : put my shoes away,
                           fold jackets/cardis and put other clothes away.
                           Tidy side table and wipe “diner board”

 Right up I get.... back when they’re done
