Meal Planning Monday - 19.1 to 25.1

Oh Help! Oh no! My Bean is turning two tomorrow! 

I'm completely unprepared (having mostly stuck my head in the sand over his first birthday I haven't had much practice at this) and so at 9 PM on a Monday night, instead of pouring over my Christmas prezzie with post-its and a pencil...

...I find myself feverishly stitching together bunting...

...and waiting for some crumpet batter to rise. Because my darling Italian LOVES them. Which I am THRILLED about, but right NOW I wish he'd taken to something I can actually buy in the shops. Still, I hope they turn out alright and I can't wait to see his wee face when we stick a pair of candles in one at breakfast :-)

That does also still leave this week's Meal Plan to be done. I was tempted to skip it, yet again, but it did help us a lot last year. Once I got into the habit of drawing up meal plans we ate better, wasted less food and therefore also less money. I need to get on it again. So with one eye on the batter I'll take a deep breath (and if you would, please imagine me saying this really fast):
shepherd's pie with sweet potato mash 
pasta frittata (with leftover tomato sauce mixed in)
courgette, pea & mint soup served with Tuscan bread and cheese
pasta with pesto & green beans
vegetable noodle soup & spring rolls

Not at all adventurous and I don't know what we're having at the weekend yet, but hey, MY BEAN IS TURNING TWO TOMORROW AAAARGH. I'll just have to delve into my lovely new cookbook next week!

Come say hello:

I hope he had the most fabulous birthday!! I love meal planning too - I waste so much food if we don't do it, and we end up with things that don't make a proper meal so end up buying more take aways too. Loving the idea of Shepherd's Pie with sweet potato mash. xx
