Monthly Menu - May 2015

Spring has sprung!  I always look forward to May with its longer days, a little more sunshine, spring blossoms and, of course, 2 bank holiday weekends.  Evenings can still be a bit chilly though so we don't leave all of our winter favourites behind on the menu this month and still enjoy a nice hot dinner in the evenings.


We always have a bowl of chopped fruit in the fridge for snacking and desserts.  We also keep a tub of salad on hand for days when there are no veggies involved in the main meal.
