Menu Plan 15th-21st October

Another box delivery yesterday:

We've got:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Cabbage, lettuce, 5 tomatoes, sweetcorn, green pepper
5 apples, 2 pears, 4 bananas, 2 plums

We also have a small squash, 2 courgettes, 3 small beetroot, 2/3 of a cabbage, and lots of apples from before.

My proposed menu for the week is:
Wednesday: Rice with cabbage and egg, sweetcorn
Thursday: Pasta in tomato sauce (tinned tomatoes, onion, courgette, pepper)
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: (picnic at Wimpole Hall) Soup (squash, potato, carrot, onion), pork pie, focaccia, and cake
Sunday: Sausages with cabbage and potato rostis, sweetcorn and beetroot
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Cabbage with apple and bacon, mashed potatoes

That is all fairly provisional at the moment, as with my mother convalescing from surgery (which has gone fine, but it will be a long recovery) I will have to visit her / spend the day with her a fair bit. But at least we've got a plan to work from.

About Me

Hello! I'm Jo, I'm 27 and I live in a small house in England with my husband. I work full time in an office, and in my spare time I help out with Sunday school and the church youth group. When I have time, I enjoy reading, cookery and crafts, and a bit of gardening. We don't have any kids, but would really love to have some one day. Thanks for visiting me here!

Some words are different in England and America, so if you're American and I use an unfamiliar word, it might be in my little dictionary
