My Raisin Family

Hey Everyone! This week, for dinner, we are having: Monday: Spag bol Tuesday: Sausages and veg Wednesday: Chicken soup (my husband makes the best chicken and veg soup;) Thursday: Beef stoganoff and rice Friday: Pasta Saturday: Nuggets and chips Sunday: Minestrone soup with pasta I am out Wednesday night, so my husband will cook that. Usually with things like the soup, we will make it up earlier in the day and keep it warm until dinner time, so that we can focus on the kids when they get home from school.

It is a freezer meal so I can make that any time between now and then so whenever I get a chance I will make it.  What is on the menu at your place this week? Thanks for reading! Jacqui xxx
