Mealplans WB 17th October 2008

Hello, I'm a newbie old styler and I'm hoping that having a meal plan sorted will stop me from making daily trips to the shop and spending more than I need to :eek:
I used to meal plan when I was a student but got out of the habit when I started working. I've already started batch-cooking again at the weekend (another student habit) and this has made it easier for me to stick to HM cooking instead of going out for meals or resorting to takeaways. However I still find myself sometimes picking up junk on the way home from work and eating that instead of one of my tastier nutritious meals from the freezer
I'm hoping by planning ahead I will get out of that habit :cool:
ok, enough rambling and here's my first meal plan.
Friday: haddock and hm wedges with veg
Saturday: beef stew, red cabbage (both batch cooked) and other veg
Sunday: lamb curry (batch cooked)
Monday: spag bol (from freezer)
Tuesday: mince hot pot (from freezer)
Wednesday: chicken casserole (from freezer)
Thursday: veg stir fry
fingers crossed I will stick to it
and thanks Nikki for your Jambalaya recipe - I'll be trying it out sometime soon0 -

I missed the last week's thread, but it wasn't for lack of meal planning, just for lack of access time... This week I will be relying heavily on my freezer, as I'm working three evenings in a row, plus the weekend, which leaves me just about... erm, no time for cooking and preparation of food.
Anyway, enough waffle, here's the plan:
Friday - turkey chilli (freezer); HM naan (freezer ); southern fried quorn burger and beans for DD
Saturday - beef jalfrezi (freezer); HM naan (freezer); fried eggs and beans for DD
Sunday - toad in the hole (made with a veggie hot dog for DD), roasties and veg
Monday - pub meal out with friends
Tuesday - spaghetti bolognaise (freezer); spaghetti with veg for DD
Wednesday - saag chana dhal (freezer); HM naan (freezer)
Thursday - shepherdess pie0 -
:hello: Mine is very much subject to change!
Tonight - pizza and HM chips
Tomorrow - Mum & Dads
Saturday - Cousins Birthday so out for a curry
Sunday - Either dinner at aunt & uncles or home for Roast Chook
Monday - mushroom & chicken risotto
Tuesday - not sure yet! Gammon maybe.
Wednesday - pasta or somesort
Thursday - Red Snapper, veg and pots
Friday - HM Chicken Chow Mein
