This is me.
I work 10 hours a week for our church, currently "exploring opportunities for reaching out to non church children", but other than that I am a stay at home mom.

I am a sinner saved by grace. What does that mean? I MESS UP! Big time, mess ups, small mess ups, but I mess up, I sin. And I have the privilege of coming to God, having Him wipe the slate clean. And when I start again, it is not me starting again, it is me starting for the first time, BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID!

Menu Plan Monday


Yes, it's that time of the week again, and although I managed to get my menu written on paper yesterday, it is already nearly 2pm and I don't have it on the computer yet, oops. Here goes.
We are aiming to use up freezer contents for this week and the start of next week, so that we can start really fresh on the healthy eating.

I've planned lunches (for this week at least), but not breakfasts, because whenever I do plan them I never end up sticking to the plan, so there's no point.

MONDAY - 7th
L - I had leftover vegetables in a cheese sauce.
D - Chicken Chili with rice and home made raita. I have a tub of home made base for the chilli from my freezer, enough for 2, but this stuff is way too hot (I put too much chili in to it), so I have to add things to it to coll it down and bulk it up to enough for 4. I was thinking about tinned tomatoes, but I can't see any of those in the cupboard. Hmmmm. I definitely plan to use natural yoghurt some how.

TUESDAY - 8th
L - Mushroom and sweet onion pasta (A WW recipe)
D - Golden drummers (pre formed turkey things), potato wedges, vegetables, lots of vegetables.

WEDNESDAY - 9th
L - Ham, Leek and pasta soup (another WW recipe)
D - Diced Turkey thigh in a jar of cooking sauce (which will depend on what we have in the cupboard and my mood that day), rice or pasta (depending on which sauce) and vegetables.

THURSDAY - 10th
L - Yesterday's soup (I'm making a double batch)
D - Minted Lam Burgers, home made potato wedges, or savoury rice, vegetables.

FRIDAY - 11th
L - Mushroom Curry (recipe on WW website)
D - Fish Pie

SATURDAY - 12th
L - I don't know what everyone else will have but I will have mushroom curry again.
D - Taco Meal Kit, with extra salad.

SUNDAY - 13th
L - I don't know, we never tend to decide this until we get home from church.
D - Roast from Frozen Pork Joint, stuffing, vegetables, gravy.
