OUR FAMILY MEAL PLAN FOR WEEK OF 26/02/18 - £71

Apologies for the posting our Meal Plan a day late, it was one of 'those' weekends which are rather challenging and you breathe a sigh of relief when it's over.

The weather is meant to be a very cold this week with subzero temperatures most nights and a bitterly cold wind during the day, and there's also a couple of weather warnings in place for snow.  It was lovely and almost Spring-like a week ago but clearly Winter isn't finished with us quite yet.

Despite the weather we've a busy week with after school and evening activities so dinners need to be easy and filling, as well as able to be eaten at different times depending who is home when.  We're having a vegetarian week this week as I do from time to time.  Our dinners this week feature recipes from my two favourite Jacks.  Jac from Tinned Tomatoes, who is a lovely blogging friend with an brilliant Vegetarian and Vegan blog, and Jack Monroe who blogs at Cooking on a Bootstrap and creates delicious recipes that are fabulously frugal.

Breakfasts will be porridge with homemade fruit compote, on the weekend we'll have pancakes one day and probably crumpets the next day.  I think we'll need a good warm porridge breakfast to warm us up. I'll be adding some blitzed up mixed seeds to our porridge for more nutritional value.

Packed lunches will be flask based this week due to the cold weather.  Quick Vegetable Tagine with Couscous will be alternated with Sweetcorn and Cannellini Bean Soup which will be accompanied by a homemade wholemeal bread roll.  As usual packed lunches will also contain a piece or two of fruit and a baked treat.  .  

Sweetcorn and Cannellini Bean Soup

oil spray

1 onion, finely chopped

2 sticks celery, finely chopped

1 pepper, finely chopped

1 small potato, finely diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp chilli powder

1 Tblsp cornflour

1.25 litres/5 cups vegetable stock

750g/4 cups corn, I used frozen but you could use drained tinned sweetcorn

2 tins Cannellini Beans, drained and rinsed

Put a large pot over a medium heat. Add a few sprays of oil, the chopped onion, celery, pepper, and potato, then stir. Cover the pot and let everything sweat for about 5 minutes. Check and stir every couple of minutes to prevent the vegetables from sticking.

Add the garlic, chili powder and cornflour, stir well then cook for a couple of minutes. Add the stock, corn and cannellini beans, turn the heat to medium/low then cover and leave to simmer for around 30 minutes. The soup will thicken and all of the vegetables will be very tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread.

Mexican Sweet Potato and Lentil Mole from Tinned Tomatoes

Quick and Easy Aubergine and Tomato Pasta

500g wholewheat pasta

2 tbsp olive oil

2 large eggplant/aubergines, cut into 1.5cm cubes

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes

1 tsp dried oregano or 1 Tblsp fresh oregano

100g Parmesan or hard cheese, finely grated

salt and pepper

Put a pot of water on high heat and add a good pinch or two of salt then cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.

Whilst the pasta is cooking put a frying pan over a moderate heat and add the oil. Add the prepared aubergine and cook for about 5 minutes until starting to soften. Add a little of the pasta water to the aubergine if it looks too dry. 

Once the cubes are a lightly browned on all sides, add the garlic and stir for a couple of minutes. Pour in the tomatoes, add the oregano, and simmer for about 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Again, if it looks too dry add a bit of the pasta cooking water. The aubergine cubes should collapse and you should be left with a loose, thick sauce. Add half of the Parmesan cheese and stir through the sauce.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add your sauce to the pasta. Stir everything together, then turn off the heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve sprinkled with more Parmesan.  I serve this with steamed mixed vegetables.

Hearty Chickpea and Sweet Potato Stew from Tinned Tomatoes

Veggie Mince and Lentil Baked Potatoes

1 Tblsp oil

1 onion, finely diced

4 spring onions, finely sliced

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp dried oregano

1 pepper, deseeded and finely diced

2 carrots, peeled and grated

400g can brown lentils, rinsed, drained

500g veggie mince

400g tin chopped tomatoes

2 Tblsp tomato paste

To serve:

one large baked potato per person

200g grated cheese

wilted greens

Heat the canola oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onion and spring onion for around 5 minutes until golden and softened. Add the garlic, cumin and oregano. Cook for a couple of minutes then add the pepper, carrot, lentils, chopped tomatoes and veggie mince. Stir well then simmer uncovered for 10 - 15 minutes until all the vegetables are tender and the mixture has thickened. I serve this over halved baked potatoes then sprinkle grated cheese on top and with wilted greens on the side.

OUR FAMILY MEAL PLAN FOR WEEK OF 19/02/18 - £60

Last week was Half Term Week and we largely stuck to our Meal Plan, although there were a couple of deviations, the meals we made used what we had so there were no extra expenses due to the change of plans. My daughters wanted Tacos for lunch instead of the soup I'd planned and they were delicious. We ended up having the soup, which I had made and frozen, for lunch today instead of Twice Baked Potatoes because we needed something quick and easy.

We've got bread flour, yeast, and other baking ingredients leftover from last week, along with some cheese and a few vegetables so those aren't on our shopping list this week.  

It's back to school this week and back to quick breakfasts and packed lunches for everyone.  Our breakfasts will be porridge with homemade compote, I'll do overnight oats on the days when my daughters need to leave extra early.  We'll of course have pancakes on the weekend.

Packed lunches will be Mini Picnic Bakes with homemade breadsticks, herbed yoghurt dip, a piece or two of fruit and a baked treat.

OUR HALF TERM FAMILY MEAL PLAN - £70

It's Half Term holidays for my children this week, they're all tired and ready for a week at home.  Although, there's a few outings planned and some activities they're taking part in, we're looking forward to recharging and resting when we can.  My husband will be at home on Wednesday to take our girls to the cinema whilst I have fun with 3yo.  

Breakfast will be a relaxed affair this week, of course we'll have pancakes on Tuesday, but porridge/overnight oats or toast will be on offer for the rest of the week.  

Lunches need to be filling to help cut down on snacking and save money, they also need to be suitable for my husband to take as a packed lunch for work.  We will be having Spicy Roast Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup with homemade rolls on Monday and Wednesday, Root Vegetable and Red Lentil Dhal with Naan bread on Tuesday and Thursday, and Mini Frittatas on Friday. Over the weekend we'll have a rare lunch out on Saturday then Twice Baked Potatoes on Sunday.

I've supplies to make fruit scones, flapjacks, muffins/cupcakes and cookies and made sure there's popping corn too.

Dinners

Red Lentil Bolognese with Pasta

Baked Fish with White Beans 

2 tsp olive oil

2 large leeks, trimmed and thinly sliced

30ml water

1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes

1 x 400g tin cannellini beans, drained, rinsed

2 handfuls frozen mixed vegetables

5 sprigs fresh thyme

5 thick white fish fillets

1 lemon, washed and thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until the leeks are soft. Transfer to a shallow ovenproof baking dish.

Add the tin of tomatoes, drained tin of cannellini beans, frozen corn and peas to the baking dish. Stir to combine everything. Arrange the sprigs of thyme and fish fillets on top of the vegetables. Put the slices of lemon on top of the fish and sprinkle over some freshly ground pepper. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Remove the thyme sprigs before you serve the dish.

Roast Chicken with roast vegetables and Yorkshire puddings

Chicken and Bacon Stew with Dumplings

200g cooking bacon, finely chopped

2 onions, roughly diced

2 sticks celery, finely sliced

3 carrots, chopped into 1cm dice

2 parsnips, chopped into 1cm dice

1 litre chicken stock

2 sprigs of fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme

2 Tblsp plain flour

300g leftover cooked chicken

Dumplings

250g self-raising flour

125g butter

100ml cold water

Put a large ovenproof casserole saucepan over a medium heat and add the bacon. Cook for a couple of minutes then add the diced onion, celery, parsnips, and carrots. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions are transparent and the carrots have started to soften. Add the heaped tablespoon of flour and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring all the time. Pour in the stock, add the thyme and leftover chicken. Turn the heat down to medium-low, stir the stew well then simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes whilst you make the dumplings.

Preheat your oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5. Measure the self raising flour into a mixing bowl. Grate the butter, using the coarse side of a box grater, into the flour. This makes it much easier and quicker to incorporate into the flour. Rub the butter and flour together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add 100ml of cold water and bring the dough together, forming it into a ball. Divide into 12 pieces and roll into small balls.

Check the stew isn't too thick, add a little water if necessary, then put the dumplings in a single layer on top of the stew. Put the lid on the casserole saucepan and bake at 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5 for 30 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through. I serve ours with mashed potato and steamed peas and corn.

Quick and Easy Nachos

1 onion, finely diced

2 peppers, finely diced, any colour will do

325g tin sweetcorn, drained

2 tins chilli beans

200g pack tortilla chips

150g grated mature cheddar cheese, or more if you fancy

Mix the onion, peppers, sweetcorn and chilli beans together in a bowl. Put half of the of tortilla chips, in a single layer, into the bottom of a large ovenproof dish. Dollop with around half the vegetable and bean mixture then top with a good handful of grated cheddar. Repeat the process until all the chips, vegetable mixture and cheese have been used up. Preheat your oven to 200C/180C Fan/400F/Gas Mark 6 and bake the nachos in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and everything has heated through. I served ours with steamed mixed vegetables on the side.

Family Sized Mince Pie

450g beef mince

1 onion, finely diced

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 carrots, finely diced

2 stalks celery, finely sliced

1 handful parsley, finely chopped

1 Tblsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 Tblsp mustard

2 Tblsp tomato paste

1 Tblsp Worcestershire sauce

300ml beef stock

2 handfuls frozen mixed vegetables

1 sheet puff pastry

Heat a good splash of olive oil in a large frying-pan that has a lid. Fry the onion and garlic until soft. Add the vegetables and herbs and fry until they are just starting to soften.

Add the mince and brown it whilst breaking it up. Once the mince has browned and no pink patches remain, add the mustard, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and a few grinds of black pepper.

Add the beef stock and allow the mince to simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes. Add the frozen peas and corn and simmer for a further 5 minutes. You may need to add a little extra water. Stir the mince occasionally. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Pour the pie filling into an ovenproof dish and allow to cool.  Preheat your oven to 180 °C.

Lay the pastry over the pie filling, crimp the edges, and make little cuts with a sharp knife to let steam escape during cooking. Brush the pastry with a little milk to glaze it and then bake the pie for around 30–40 minutes until the pastry is golden. I usually serve this with mashed potatoes.

Slow Cooker Vegetable and Bean Chilli

2 large onions, roughly diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 large carrots, finely diced

3 sticks celery, finely diced

2 peppers, finely diced

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp dried mixed herbs

300ml vegetable stock

400g tin chopped tomatoes

2 x 400g kidney beans in chilli sauce

Put everything in the slow cooker, stir well to combine then put the lid on. Cook on HIGH for 3 - 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is thick. Serve with cooked rice or baked potatoes, grated cheese and a dollop of yoghurt.
