Menu 1 week and beyond!


This week the shopping has been done for 1 week plus a few random meals - only because week 2 is half term an that will be weather dependant. So here's this week...
And next week I have quite a few meals on standby by! 
But tonight I've prep'd a slow cooker meal that everyone loves (husband and children!) chicken and chorizo stew, prep'd and in the fridge tonight? Then I'll put in the slow cooker before work tomorrow - ready for when we get in at around 6pm

Recipe - 

Chicken and chorizo stew

Brown onion, garlic, red pepper and chicken  3 breasts, then add a chopped chorizo.
Add chicken stock 1/2 pint, tin of tomatoes or pasata, 1 tbsp tomato purée, 1tsp smoked paprika, shake of dried chilli flakes. 
Mix. 
Add red lentils 8 tablespoons, add 1 peeled and chopped butternut squash or a bag of baby new potatoes, bring to boil, then simmer for 15mins,  put in the oven for 45mins on 180. 

OR slow cooker version - put all raw ingredients into slow cooker, mix and cook on low for 8 hours - serve with nan breads.
