Meal Planning Monday Week 24

Only three weeks until the wedding - eek!

Monday - bank holiday though the weather is not meant to be good so we can't barbecue
Lunch: bacon sandwich (his favourite and I will buy some nice fresh bread)
Dinner:
I am still meaning to make dessert: avocado and chocolate mousse from I Quit Sugar (he can have ice cream!)

Tuesday
Lunch: salad
Dinner: I will probably have to take a sandwich as I'm off to a local pool for a snorkelling/scuba diving lesson. I don't expect to be doing the latter but the former will definitely be a feature of our honeymoon but I've never done it before and am terrified! I thought having a practice in a pool to get used to the mask and breathing tube would be a good idea before we head to the Galapagos Islands!

Wednesday
Lunch: salad
Dinner: I'll have salmon with cauliflower mash from the freezer and broccoli, he can have chicken and mashed potato.

Thursday - I'm working from home
Lunch: quinoa risotto
Dinner: spiralized veg with basil pesto from I Quit Sugar for me,

Friday
Lunch: salad
Dinner: chicken breast with sticky barbecue glaze from a packet - which we can do on the BBQ or in the house, with chips for him and veg for me

Saturday
Lunch: won't have a lot of time to cook as I have a wedding dress fitting at 11am. At this point there will only be two weeks to go until the wedding! I'll have the rest of the spiralized veg with basil pesto and he can have a bacon sandwich.
Dinner: barbecue? could do chicory sardine boats from I Quit Sugar - rapidly becoming my favourite book in the run-up to my wedding!

Sunday
Lunch: crumpets which are in the freezer and need using up
Dinner: may depend on the weather but I have got chicken thighs in the freezer I could do something with

Pink Princess Doll Cake

I love this cake - it's so girly! Yes, this is indeed a cake - or rather, the bottom half of the doll is cake. Her dress is made of fondant and her skirt is a chocolate cake - a delicious vegan recipe. In this post I'll also explain how to use a Garrett frill cutter, a piece of equipment I bought when I took a cake decorating class last year, and also review a brilliant new product I found at Ikea. So how did this cake come about? Well, my friend Ros - who some of you know as The More Than Occasional Baker - decided she wanted a pink princess theme for her birthday party in September. We might be in our 30s but that's no reason not to embrace our inner child... or our inner princess! I was very honoured when she asked me to make her a birthday cake, as Ros is such an amazing baker herself. As soon as she told me the theme I thought of this cake - I'd seen pictures of them before but never made or eaten one. You basically take a doll, like Barbie or Bratz, bake a dome...

Our Wedding at the Larmer Tree Gardens, Wiltshire

Surely these are the ingredients of a perfect wedding: your friends and family, a beautiful and unusual venue, a garden reception with croquet and peacocks, a string quartet to walk down the aisle to, fantastic food (homemade cake followed by a posh barbecue and a trio of desserts), drinks that flowed, an amazing band, photobooth, racing simulator, alpacas, marshmallows over an open fire and fairy lights in the garden. We had all those things and more when I got married at the Larmer Tree Gardens in Wiltshire in June. I’m originally from Salisbury so we were going to look at wedding venues both around there and near where we live now on the outskirts of London, but we took one look at the Larmer Tree – the first potential venue we visited – and knew it was the one. The gardens were created in 1880 and were the first privately owned gardens to be opened to the public – they are now recognised by English Heritage as a Garden of National Importance.
