Hi Guys!

I know it's only Friday night, but I thought we could get organised over the weekend for a Monday start....does that make sense:D

So we are having:

Monday-Sausage, Mash & Veg
Tuesday-Shepherds Pie & Veg
Wednesday-Mac & Cheese
Thursday-Hospital
Friday-Hospital
Saturday-Curry & Rice
Sunday-Full Roast Pork Dinner

We have everything in for main meals, but will need fridge food and fresh fruit/veg.

Breakfasts will be made up of: porridge, eggs, toast, fruit/juice or cereal.

Lunches will be: leftovers, soups, sarnies, baked spuds etc.

What are you all having?

Have a great week everyone.

    Hi All

    Monday Corned beef hash & beans
    Tuesday HM steak pie with croquettes & veg
    Wednesday Scampi, Chips and HM onion rings
    Thursday, Stovies
    Friday, Seafood Chowder ( got tinned clams, smoked oysters and king prawns in freezer and I make it with cauliflower instead of potatoes)
    Saturday, Chicken & wild mushroom Risotto
    Sunday, Roast probably but not thought that far ahead

    Breakfast is usually at work as we leave at 5.30am
    Lunches, DH eats at work free and I have enough tinned soups to sink the belgrano in a cupboard at work so will use all those up

    All I need to buy are the veg, milk, cream and butter

    Have a great weekend

    Sunday - Leftover Takeaway Curry (always loads left over and will mean I can keep the chicken in the freezeer for next Sunday Yay!

    Monday - Pork Stir Fry
    Tuesday - Chicken Casserole and Mash spuds
    Wednesday - Chilli n rice
    Thursday - H/M Pizza (the topping not the bases have those in)
    Friday - Beef Stew (hm from the freezer) with dumplings and broccoli



    Breakfasts for me and the kiddies will be cereals/toast/eggs and lunches will be ds, school meal and twins packed lunches and I get my lunches from the canteen where I work part time.

    It is great to put this on here so I can look at my list over the weekend as an incentive to stay out of the shops, all I need for all the meals next week is broccoli which I will get from aldi...Cheers all...

  • I'm a bit late this week. I usually plan a bit further ahead, but I'm falling behind! I must get on top of it, I must get on top of it! Anyway, here are mine for the week:

    Monday: Yellow Thai Curry with Prawns and a small portion of rice
    Tuesday: At Mum's, and she'll probably do gammon steaks for us
    Wednesday: Shepherd's Pie with veggies
    Thursday: Omelettes with a choice of fillings
    Friday: Chilli con Carne with homemade baked potato wedges
    Saturday: Leftover Chilli put through pasta or in toasted sandwiches
    Sunday: Roast Chicken Dinner

    Lunches are sandwiches, yoghurts, cheapy cakes and (in my case) the 10p packets of noodles made up in tupperware pots from the kettle at work :D Any desserts are going to be yoghurts and chocolates leftover (still!) from Christmas :D

    Have a good week everyone :)
