    Can not belive it has come around so quick again.

    I am not going to meal plan this week as i still have not oven. I am just taking each day as it comes as the cooker could arrive as any day.

    Lunch i can plan.

    They will be Sandwiches with Ham, Cheese, Egg or veggiemite. Fruit and youghurt.

    I am really missing not being able to bake things for the childrens lunch boxes. Had to go to Morrisons and buy some today :mad:

    hi there,
    My week starts on Sun 7th and here is what we are having.
    (I had been posting on this thread a couple of months ago but fell off the wagon, so want to start posting again as its great inspiration to me and would love to think my meal plan may encourage even 1 person!).
    Sunday- Filled pasta, tomato sauce (HM with pureed red peppers, garlic, tom puree, splash of cream and a little basil), garlic bread (HM baguettes using MrsM's recipe from GC thread .
    Monday- chicken fajitas with salad from the garden
    Tuesday- mince and tatties
    Wednesday- HM mini quiche, chips and salad from the garden
    Thursday- chilli mince [STRIKE]enchildas[/STRIKE] quesadillas- cos greent posted a lovely recipe on the GC thread.
    Friday- Haddock mornay,potatoes, peas
    Saturday- Chicken curry and rice (half of the curry will be kept for Sunday next week)
    Breakfast for me will be yoghurt/cereal/toast/muffin depending on how I feel. DS (14 months) will have his HM porridge/muesli and DH eats sarnies he takes to work.
    Lunch will be toasties/sarnies/HM soup/left-overs if there are any.
    Looking forward to reading through all of your plans.

    Hi :hello:

    The weeks are going waay too fast, feels like I only just posted last week's mealplan:confused:

    I'm trying to cut down on the amount of red meat I'm eating but I'm finding it hard to think of anything else. I dont have that many meals that I do that are veggie or based on fish or poultry so I'll be looking to steal lots of ideas for this from you all :p This weeks plan doesnt look too bad though...

    T - spicy bean & sweet potato stew HM, from freezer
    F - salmon, mash & peas
    S - [strike]chicken pasta bake[/strike] tomato pasta
    S - shepherds pie HM, from freezer
    M - veggie sausages, rice, beans & peas
    T - orange soup (butternut squash, sweet potato & carrots) batch for freezer
    W - chilli con carne HM, from freezer
    T - [strike]chicken curry & naan[/strike] jacket potato, beans & cheese

    Have a good week everyone :)
