Look what I received on Friday from the Organising Junkie herself - good mail! What a lovely thank-you card all the way from Canada. I am already using the bookmark in my Bible.
Thank you so much, Laura - this made my day. I had been having a rather blah kind of day and this perked me right up :-)
Now, onto my menu plan for the week...
Monday
Pork chops, sweetcorn & potato bake (recipe below) and carrots
Tuesday
M – out at work function (I’m told they will feed us)
D – chilli & rice
Wednesday
D – burgers
M – leftover pizza (if you have not yet tried Sandra's pizza, do it. You won't regret it!)
Thursday
Pasta with chickpea & vegetable sauce, topped with cheese
Friday
Chicken burgers and fat-free chips
Sweetcorn and potato bake
4 medium potatoes
1 can cream
style sweetcorn
salt, pepper, Italian herbs to taste
Scrub the potatoes with their skins on.
Dice into fairly big squares (about 2cm).
Throw into a microwave dish with spices and microwave on high for about 5 minutes (nearly but not quite done)
Now add the can of sweetcorn and stir the whole lot, to thoroughly mix.
Microwave for a further 2 - 3 minutes until potatoes are done.
There you go - done!
If you want to be decadent, you can top with cheese. I don't, but I do add some more pepper. Yum.
For more Menu Plan Monday participants, go on over to Laura's blog.
I've been a bad commenter this last week because we had power cuts on two of the nights so I've been prioritising and doing the absolute basics, like sending out my newsletter and responding to emails. Got to practise what I preach, right?! :-)
