Hey, you know how last week's meal-plan was all easy, peasy lemon squeezey? Well, this week's going to be even more so. See, I stepped up to umpire a netball game on Saturday after our umpires didn't show and managed to cause myself some kind of knee damage. My knee hyper-extended backwards and then just wouldn't hold my weight (surprise), so I'm on crutches, and this week's a husband-and-daughter-cooked fest. Here's what they'll be making
Monday: beef and bean nachos, with lots of guacamole and a lovely salad on the side.
Tuesday: Late ballet night. I'm going to pull a stool up to the bench and make a beef in red wine casserole. Hubby can then make some mash potatoes and green beans to serve.
Wednesday: home-made pizza and salad. I'll be hopping off to the theatre tonight - so many stairs to navigate, but hey, 30-odd years of netball-related injuries mean I'm pretty confident with crutches these days.
Thursday: Spaghetti bolognaise. Yep. Such a comfort food.
Friday: Fish and chips - from the local takeaway.
Saturday: Bbq steak and salad.
Sunday: roast chicken and veggies. Even on crutches I can manage this one. Simply cut a lemon in half and place it in the chicken's cavity, season with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil and roast until golden. A family fave.
This is all so strangely familiar... :).
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling a bit better today. Silly sausage. Netball is determined to remove you of the convenience of good working knees, isn't it... x
Tee hee... And yes, resting and icing is making it a lot better (ice on knees, not cupcakes sadly) x
DeleteMy main meal for this week - mixed mushroom soup! Cooked it last night - suprisingly delicious. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Clarissa, and hey, lovely to hear from you again x
DeleteOuchy? I hope you heal quickly. I think something about netball courts and you is a bad knee combination.
ReplyDeleteI know E, I'll be sitting down from now on. But I do think it's healing, just a minor sprain rather than anything major. Silly knees.
Deleteouch!!! hope you're feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteit sounds like you and netball don't mix too well ;)
Oh PPMJ, I'm so sorry to hear about your injury, what a shocker.
ReplyDeleteYou have done so well to get your meal plan out, given the circumstances. And it still sounds like a pretty nice line up even if it's going to be an easy peasy week.
Rest up and take care xo
