Meal Planning Monday - 3 December 2012 (the Fantasy Edition)

Welcome to the Fantasy Edition of Meal Planning Monday. This is where I plan what I wish I was eating instead of what I will actually be eating. It's not that I mind my diet so much, just that Tesco does the planning for me and I miss browsing Pinterest meals board and cooking with my slow cooker. Here is what my alter ego will be eating this week.

(total fantasy since I am the only one in my house who would eat this. Love the serving suggestion "serve it with roast chicken and steamed veg for a complete meal" Mac & Cheese is a complete meal! The only thing you need to serve it with is more Mac & Cheese)
(would swap the rosemary for thyme to go with the chicken)
(anything with sweet chilli sauce is a winner, in my book - unless it's fish)


Mmmm.... I love this meal plan and think I will pop over to my fantasty alter-ego's house for dinner this week. In reality I am sticking to my diet plan and utilising what I have in the freezer & cupboards to make room for CHRISTMAS (yes, it lives in my kitchen).

Have a great week and remember to check out more Meal Planning Monday posts on Mrs M's Linky or follow on Twitter at #mealplanningmonday

    Love the idea of a fantasy meal plan...

    Hi Becca, I am jealous of this plan as well :) I'm into week 5 of Tesco diets and while the food is pretty varied it doesn't include these, hence my fantasy menu.
    The recipe for that one is at http://www.cookincanuck.com/2011/11/hearty-chicken-stew-with-butternut-squash-quinoa-recipe/

    If you click on any of the pink writing in the menu it's a link that will take you to the right page. These all come from my Pinterest boards so you'll also find the links there.
