Monthly menu plan - August/September


Tomatoes

We're already in the tail-end of August? And it's nearly September? Once again the year is slipping by. Soon it will be summer, and all I'll want to eat is cool tomatoes and juicy mangos, but there's still a few chilly days left yet until that happens. So - to the plan: I've snuck in a few wintry favourites. Got to enjoy them while I can still can!

Week One:
Monday - Chilli tofu and vegetable stir fry on brown rice

Saturday - Roast pork with vegetables, followed by pannacotta with berry coulis
Sunday - Pea soup with salad baguettes

Week Two:
Monday - Potato and pea samosas with garden salad
Tuesday - Beef and beer stew with garlicky mashed potatoes
Wednesday - Leek and ricotta tart with green salad

  2. If only I could be as organised. I have a vegetarian daughter so it's great to get some menu ideas.
