Planning for the weekend
So, my parents are coming to stay for 4 days, and of course I want to have nice meals with them, not 'alongside' them, so this is what I came up with. My breakfast is mostly the same (Dukan bread / Dukan porridge) so I won't list it, and I fully expect to have one or two biscuits or similar each day too:
Fri (tomorrow) PVC:
L: work lunch Couscous and stew leftover from Tuesday.
D: Slow-cooked Beef goulash and tagliatelle (courgette tagliatelle for me if I had the couscous)
Sat: celebration
L: WM wraps with lean ham, cheese, lettuce (and mayo/sauce for them)
D: Homemade Fish Pie (potato topping), some other veg; Apple and blackberry crumble. Glass of wine.
Sun: PV
L: vegetable chicken soup (made from the bits left over when carving up the chicken for ->)
D: Autumn Squash and chicken bake. Yoghurt (Ice cream for them!)
Mon: PVC
L: no idea - leftovers!!
D: Sausages (low-fat for me) & Mash & cauliflower. Yoghurt
Tue (just us again)
D: Baked Spaghetti Squash and bolognese Sauce. I might cook some pasta for the kids to go with that!
That's the plan anyhow, we'll see how it goes!!
My parents have not seen me since I was at the half-way stage in August, nor have I sent any proper pictures, just some of me with the kids out on a walk. I'm hoping to knock them for six by wearing my slimmest looking clothes tomorrow. I bet they'll say I'm too thin now
which I can counter with "let's see after Christmas!"
