Meal Planning Mondays

I have so may ideas for this blog, unfortunately I'm not the best when it comes to time management and i get easily distracted. But hopefully i plan on writing maybe 2-3 times a week.
One thing i want to try is to do a Meal Planning Monday post, a brilliant idea from the blog At Home with Mrs M.

Every Sunday night / Monday morning, i want to sit down and plan ahead the weeks evening meals. At the moment, tea time is a last minute thought that often ends up in us ordering a takeout or banging a frozen pizza in the oven. 

Simon often works late and rather than cooking twice it would be good to have quick easy meals to make up when he gets home or meals that can be reheated and don't end up tasting like baby food. 

So whilst writing this post, i already started planning which then lead to me checking the fridge for what foods we can use up, ultimately leading to me cleaning out the fridge and re-organising the freezer... see what i mean about being easily distracted? 

Really fancy having prawns next week which isn't like me at all as I'm not a big fan of seafood, maybe I'll try and make a paella or a curry. I'm also going to make my first chilli con carne :O   

Anyway I'm just waiting for Aria to wake up from her nap and then we're off to Morrisons to get some bits for the week. Simon finishes work at 4 but if I wait for him we'll only end up buying a load of crap, so we have venture alone.

I haven't yet mentioned Simon works at a Leisure centre and on Monday they are having a family fun day, where employees and members families can come in and they have a BBQ and other fun family activities, so I think we're going to go with Simon's mum and his little brother A.

A's 7 so i think he might enjoy it, might try to get him to partake in the egg and spoon race or something equally embarrassing for him ;) 

Think I'm going to have a quick coffee while I wait for Aria.
