Meal Planning Mondays March 30th - April 6th


It's unbelievable how quickly the weeks seem to be flying past just now! Not that I'm complaining - I am so ready for it to be Spring after what seems like a really long Winter. Thankfully for us the sun is shining today and hopefully it will stick around for a good few days before those April Showers make themselves a little too familiar for my liking! Of course with the change of the Seasons comes yet more colds to our house and this time we are all full of it, which is thankfully a pretty rare occurrence. It did however, mean that yesterday's 'Best Ever Ribs' were postponed as understandably Scott didn't want to spend 5 hours smoking them to not be able to taste the final delicious result, so instead we opted for Grilled Fish Tacos with plenty of Fiery Roasted Red Pepper Salsa which was just what the doctor ordered!.... Although I have a confession to make......I recently impulsively bought some pans for making Tortilla Bowls. Honestly I was really hesitant as to whether they would work or not so I decided to give them a go for the Chilli Salad Bowls that we had on Saturday, fully expecting the worst. Instead I was completely surprised because they worked perfectly! A little too perfectly to be honest because now I have a new obsession with putting everything in Tortilla Bowls!... I am not joking! Thankfully Scott and Ben loved them as well so they were delighted for Sunday night's Fish "tacos" to be served in bowls instead of typical tacos. For now though I am putting them away and vow not to take them out for at least another week......maybe!

This week we have Cook Club to look forward to so Saturdays menu will be a surprise for the time being but I will update first thing on Sunday morning with what we had and whether it was a success or not! If you are interested in checking out our previous menus you can have a look here.

And finally as promised I have a few more links to this week's Meal Plan so that if you fancy it you can easily find the recipes and join in. I hope you all have a great week x

Game Day Menu Ideas



Whether you are getting excited about the upcoming Superbowl final, or just want to have some friends round to watch your favourite game on the big screen, the reality is that while the game is fun and perhaps a little nerve racking to watch, the most important part of the day is not actually the game but the food! So when the half-time whistle goes make sure you are set to go with plenty of food to munch on, and lots of cold beers in the fridge - both of which are guaranteed to keep your crowd happy for the ultimate game day.

Here are a few of my favourite things to eat while watching the big game.








DIY Ice Cream Sundaes

{Simply serve a selection of your favourite Ice Creams and then have lots of bowls of toppings such as nuts, sprinkles and chocolate chips then finish with some good quality chocolate and caramel sauces}
