This last week has been a bit mixed up – a meal planning fail… Monday saw my best friend’s birthday and she came to spend the day with us, which was lovely. She helped to pick O up from school, which was a real treat for him! We had a special birthday tea for her of pepperoni pizza – O’s favourite. It was super scrummy! I made a double batch of Diet Cola chicken, so that we could freeze 4 portions for the post-birth period which will come in handy now I’ll be 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I also made a beef stew with dumplings which was really yummy and so enjoyed, I’m going to make the same one night this week too.
I cooked a whole chicken in the slow cooker yesterday for a Sunday dinner-style meal, and I plan to use the leftover meat to make a Chicken and Vegetable broth. This will give us something a bit healthier to eat at lunchtimes rather than the sandwich and crisps we have been having… So, this week we’re eating:
Monday – Chilli Con Carne with Rice
Tuesday – Beef Stew with Dumplings
Wednesday – Sausages and Mash with Vegetables
Thursday – Pasta Bolognase
Friday – Italian Bean Stew
As always, I’m linking up to the #mealplanningmonday linky with At Home With Mrs M!
I love the sound of all of these! R doesn’t like dumplings but I’m quite tempted to make some anyway to see if Oliver likes them! And Eeeep!! You’re so close now! Well done for having leftovers in the freezer!

Ahh! Beef Stew with Dumplings sounds brilliant. Especially in the weather we’ve been having x
The bean stew sounds amazing 🙂
I have a love hate relationship with meal planning but I think I just need to find a way to make it work for us.
