Meal Plan: Mustard & Marmalade Chicken
Monday: Chicken Goujons & Chips
Tuesday: Out for Dinner
Wednesday: Potatoes, bacon, onions, corn on the cob
During the festive period Edinburgh hosts a winter wonderland, which among other things includes a german market. My husband works in the centre of town and come home with a recipe idea based on something they were selling at the german market. It’s a basic idea but tasted delicious, we ate al fresco in the first spring weather 
I par-boiled new potatoes and left to dry, I then fried bacon until crispy then added plenty of onions, finally throw in the potatoes, a knob of butter and fry until golden, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with corn on the cob to cut through the richness, tasty and simple.
Thursday: Hot Dogs
Friday: Mustard & Marmalade Chicken, lemon couscous with red onion & pine nuts
This recipe comes half from a magazine and half from a restaurant dish I know. Simply mix some wholegrain mustard and marmalade, spread over chicken and grill. I cheat by using couscous already flavoured with lemon and coriander, to that add some toasted pine nuts and fried red onion.
Saturday: Out for Dinner

Thanks for those ideas – always on look-out for new recipes. Might try the potatoes and the chicken. They don’t sound too complicated – even for me!
Menu planning definitely the way to go – saves so much time and money.
Your Potato recipe sounds delicious.
These high winds are really kicking those of us wih allergies. Ugh!
Well, while I’m waiting for the coffee to brew I thought I would stop by MPM blogs and see what’s being served.
Your menu sounds delicious.
