Well, daddy is off to the US for a couple of weeks so it's planning for one pretty much !
Monday: left over roast chicken probably with risotto
Tuesday: Thai green curry mussels (these are Scottish mussels and will just need some bread with them!!)
Wednesday: Omelette Arnold Bennet (with smoked haddock)
Thursday: pizza
Friday: Sis and BIL arriving planning shepherds pie but dependent on shopping and time available !
Saturday: Sis and BIL still here so smoked haddock and leek risotto
Sunday: just me and the girls. We will probably go out for lunch so just something light for us.
I get my fish delivered every couple of weeks from the wonderful John at Delish Fish. It's very reasonable but because they are individually wrapped, I just pop them in the freezer and then take them out as we need them.
I'm really keen to make sure we have two portions of fish every week - most weeks we do more than that as you can see. If you need help adding fish to your family's meal plans, check out Fish is the dish

Meal planning - Monday 20th March
Ah well, another Monday another week.
I was thinking about this in bed last night and really should have got out of bed to tap it into the keyboard. But I was too lazy.... So here it is, a little bit late but my meal planner for the week.
Monday:
Beef and chorizo stew with spatzle.
I went to Earthy yesterday and got some beef from Hugh Grierson. I then made a sort of sofrito with onion, red pepper, chorizo and pancetta, pan fried the beef mixed it all in my slow cooker with most of a bottle of red wine, 3 or 4 heaped tablespoons of paprika, one of smoked paprika and a good dollop of tom puree. Left it for 4 hours and, bob's your uncle !
Tuesday:
Griddled halloumi cheese with beetroot and cucumber using a recipe I spotted in this month's Olive magazine.
Wednesday:
Prawn noodle soup. My other half makes a mean dashi stock which we freeze in bulk. Then it's really easy to heat, add some prawns, noodles, spring onions, sugar snaps and red pepper. Ready in 10 minutes.
Thursday:
Girls night out - so a quick spagbol with the girls before I head out to the cinema
Friday:
Dinner out at the Tower Restaurant before we have date night at The Museum of Scotland.
Saturday
Thai green chilli Scottish mussels with homemade sourdough bread.
Sunday:
Final supper with daddy before he heads to California for a fortnight, so we'll have roast chicken with all the accompaniments. I might even let him cook !!

Bucket list?
I'm not sure that I should cast this to the bloggersphere but I've been thinking about the things I'd like to do while I can still enjoy them.
Some people have family to do lists, other people have 'places to see before they die', mine is a kinda-combo of the two.
Here we go:
1. Climb to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge
2. See the Big 5 in africa
3. Watch the Opera in the open air in Verona
4. Walk (some of) the Great Wall)
5. Get to Everest Base Camp
These are mine - I'd love to hear yours!
