Meal Planning Monday - 26.5 to 01.6

What's that? It's Monday again already? Oh crap I'd better get my Meal Plan on again.

It's funny - once it's drawn up and published I really like having a meal plan. It takes the head-scratching over what the heck to have for dinner out of the rest of the week, but I do always sit and stare for a while every Monday. If you're the same, I'd definitely recommend going through the other meal plans that link up over at the Meal Planning Monday host. I usually manage to nick at least one idea every week...

After my comfort food binge last week, this week a few more summery dishes are creeping in. There's not actually that much veg to be had at the market right now, just an abundance of amazing fruit (poor us eh). We do still have fresh peas though, so I'll be trying to make a lighter version of our winter staple, pea & ham soup. I'm thinking mint, lemon juice and yoghurt as additions.
"indoor picnic" & fries
Lemon and herb farfalle with courgette, tuna and mozzarella
pea & ham soup
pasta with courgette & rocket pesto
curried soup with prawns, green beans & coconut
quesadillas with refried beans, avocado & cheese (thank you for the tip Larabee!)
pasta al ragù
A final word on the "indoor picnic": I don't know what else to call it. It's utterly lazy, completely unadventurous, and very yummy. It involves rooting around the fridge for whatever salad vegetables, cheeses and cold meats I can find. Then chopping them, and serving with some home-made humus. And fries, because I am Belgian after all.
