The First Hurdle

Well, this is something I was expecting but I have to admit not quite so soon into my little experiment. The husband and I ended up going out for dinner last night, we went to Tomislav which was beautiful, but it has thrown my plans a little bit. My plan for Week 1 Wednesday was a green curry but luckily I was going to use frozen vegetables and green curry paste all of which will keep. However I do need to use up the coconut milk and the chicken. So here is what I am thinking. I will use the coconut milk in porridge, this is the husbands favourite way to have porridge. Here is how I make this:

1 cup quick cook oats

1 cup lite coconut milk

1 cup water

pinch of salt

honey & banana to go on top or

brown sugar and sultanas on top.

Add oats, coconut milk, water and salt to a pot. Bring to boil then reduce heat and cook while stirring for about 40 seconds. I love quick cook oats as they literally take 2 or 3 minutes to make. We do prefer the banana and honey topping but as bananas are still about $14 a kg I am having to come up with different toppings, either way this is perfect for a chilly mid week breakfast.

The chicken will keep until Friday when I will have to use it in my tortillas, which will be lovely but I was planning on keeping that meal vegetarian.

So, I am going to have to come up with a solution next time this happens as I do not want my meal plan to dictate my life. This is meant to help me, not hinder me.
