Meal Planning Monday with a Retro Oven!
Meal Planning Monday and Busy Week Ahead!
Monday 21st May 2012
Another week and another meal plan, and I am having a VERY flexible week this week as we have several dinner and lunch dates and some journeys to fit in too…..with thanks as always to Mrs M who hosts this fabulous idea of linking up on her blog with a meal plan for Monday. I am late posting my meal plan today, as I have already been treated to one meal that was not cooked at home – yes, we had a fabulous lunch of Fish and Chips on Scarborough today, and they were absolutely delicious….…fresh cod and chips in a crispy batter, with a pot of tea, bread and butter and even some mushy peas, you can’t beat it! So, here to kick of my week is my Meal Planning Monday Post……I hope that it may help you decide what you will cook this week too…….see you later, Karen

Right I know exactly where I would like to be eating this week 🙂 Wow what a fab menu but also what a mouth watering blog too.
I don’t do many linky’s but it has been great as I get to find all these yummy blogs.
THANKS so much Ali….I agree, I love the Meal Planning Monday linky!
Oh my goodness what a menu! I need to have a serious pinning session with your website to get some meal planning inspiration. I am cooking with some of John’s fish this week which I am looking forward to. x
THANKS! John’s fish is just delicious…can’t wait to see what you cook with it! Pin away!! 🙂
Fab menu! I’m terrible at meal planning so this is actually a good idea.. I have no idea what I’m going to have this week. Didn’t feel inspired when I did my weekly shop so ended up with lots of baking ingredients but not much proper food!!
I DON’T always stick to the meal plans, but they give me a base on which to plan with a busy week ahead! Thanks! 🙂
Lovely food! I rarely plan meals ahead…
I’d love to have such a pretty kitchen. I like retro things…
Cheers,
Rosa
Thanks Rosa, I am not a meal planner either, but, I tried this planning lark a few weeks ago, and although I don’t always stick to it, it’s useful to refer to for recipe ideas, as I do plan around time restraints and what I have in the freezer and pantry….
Wow, that is a busy week. I don’t know how you’ll find the time to eat at all!
I know…..we have lots on this week and you may notice that lots of my recipes are simple, BUT, we also have meals being cooked for us too!
You are one busy !! but what a great line up of meals – they should keep you going!!

Thanks Mary! 🙂
Just love your blog! The food is so wonderful and so different from what we eat here in the US…thank you!
Jacqui
Wow, thank YOU Jacqui, what a lovely comment and welcome to Lavender and Lovage! Karen 🙂
I’m loving the sound of the Mexican chicken wraps – mmm!
Thanks Lauren! 🙂
This is definitely one of the more interesting websites I have seen.
It is so easy to tune out, but there’s seriously some fantastic stuff on the net, and I feel your site is on the short list!
