I had a hard time last week, between tonsillitis, sinusitis and Harry coming down with yet another cold i gave into the world of ready meals and take-away. Result? I feel like crap! So today I'm had some green juice for breakfast and soup for lunch, nothing drastic, just giving me body a little break.
Or course if you want to keep things on track you need a plan so this week I'm making sure we have a healthy, quick and tasty menu to make my life easier.
Monday - "baked-fried" chicken with home-made coleslaw - recipe below
Tuesday - Spelt pastry beef pie
Wednesday - Rice and beans with slow cooked beef
Thursday - Pork fillet with veggie and sweet potato mash
Friday - Butternut squash soup
Saturday - Full English for lunch as I'll be working until late

Those chicken legs look amazing. I am incredibly hungry now :)
ReplyDeleteDo you know we've not had a full english for a meal (other than breakfast) in ages what a great idea. Don't work too hard.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, thank you, My antibiotics finally kicked in and Harry will be good again soon enough ;)
ReplyDeleteHi there, thanks for stopping by. I forgot to defrost the chicken for today - duh - so had the spelt pie instead but am looking forward to trying the recipe tomorrow...
ReplyDeletewe do tend to have it as a quick dinner on a day when I go to the office and if I work until late I find it better to have a big lunch so I'm not tempted to the treats drawer they have at work :D
