It’s the 1st of September. Which means a couple of things, schools go back this week, summer is over and I’m going on holiday in 5 days! Food planning goes until Thursday and will be largely dedicated to using things up.

Breakfast

Monday to Thursday will be smoothies because I notice there were a couple of freezer packs left from the summer. Friday will be pain au raisin and coffee.

Lunch

I’m counting on leftovers and soup!

Dinners

I’m out on Thursday night for Kathy’s birthday dinner and I’m on pudding duties which I’m thinking will probably be Lime Mascarpone Cheesecake, which is good to eat and easy to make and is due a post here. That’s three nights to plan so dahl, frittata and the rice thing I had last week.

I will probably end up making frittata and ‘chuck it all in soup’ and maybe quick pickled carrots to use up any vegetables left hanging around the fridge before I go away, the frittata comes with us (to supplement the jelly babies, which are essential to any long car trip with Ma), the carrots stay in the fridge and soup goes in the freezer for the week I’m back!
