- the kids have school lunches so I will not have to include their lunches during the week in this menu. However it will include both mine and Nick's weekday lunches, and all weekend ones.
- during the challenge, there will be a half term holiday. During this week, I will have to factor in lunches and snacks for the kids during the day.
- We are away 5th-6th of February visiting family and attending the chinese new year celebrations in Trafalgar square and London's west end. I will, for obvious reasons, not be including the food eaten during this time in the challenge.
- I have a pretty good store cupboard including, amongst other things; a variety of dried beans, bulgur wheat, wholegrain rice, LOTS of spices, dried lentils and odds and ends of pasta. In the freezer I have some frozen berries we picked last autumn, some frozen apple sauce we made, a few wild Alaskan salmon fillets, a couple of tubs of cannellini beans I cooked up in a batch, various assortments of vegetables and some home made chicken stock. Whatever I haven't used up before the start of the challenge will definitely help me to achieve it!
I love food. I love cooking, I love eating and I love feeding people. Food has always been important in my family, whether it be Sunday Dinner or a special occasion, it always takes centre stage at any gathering. I am a lover of 'real' food, which whilst nutritious and well balanced, is full of flavour and comfort and pleasure.
