Weekly Eating Plan, 20th of April

Whilst this change in weather has really changed what I want to eat this week, I have to say I do love the slower, more relaxed pace that the rain and cooler temperatures bring to the Sellars household.  I hope that you find something nice to focus on just for you this week, whether it's in the kitchen or something just for you. Bon Appetit xx
