Morning All!

Thought I'd start the thread today so we can all have a think over the weekend what's on the menu - especially with it being half term

This week we're having:

Monday - Sausage Casserole with lots of extra veg in & crusty bread

Tuesday - Chilli & Rice (Ditto extra veg!)

Wednesday - Minestrone Soup & Naan followed by jam roly poly & custard

Thursday - Lasagne, Garlic Bread & Salad

Friday - Macaroni Cheese with leeks & bacon

Saturday - Baked Potatoes with either tuna/chilli/beans/cheese or any combination of

Sunday - Braising Steak, roast potatoes, yorkshire puds, carrots, brocolli, green beans & gravy

Breakfasts: Cereal, toast, yoghurt, fruit or porridge.

Lunches: Soup, sandwiches, things on toast.

Snacks (Mainly for the kids

) Toast, fruit, yoghurts, cheese & crackers, veg sticks, veg dips, 1 pack of crisps a day ONLY! I'll also bake twinks, muffins & a fruit loaf for the tin.

Everything is homemade & usually cooked on the day. The remaining chilli will be frozen afterwards for baked potatoe topping.

Happy cooking everyone!

Wow this thread is getting earlier again. Not complaining though! Your meal plan sounds great Sunnygirl.

From last weeks plan:

Fri 13th Roast Pork and stuffing with mash, turnip and gravy

Sat 14th Out (not for Valentines Meal though, a big Church Meal!), so Mac cheese planned for dinner will be lunch

Sun 15th [strike]LO Pork with roast tatties, LO turnip, beetroot and gravy [/strike] Chippy tea, pork has been frozen and LO veg will be used for cottage pie topping on Mon!

Coming weeks plan:

Mon 16th Cottage pie (stk mince, carrot, onion, peas with a potato, cheese and turnip mash topping)

Tue 17th Chicken Kiev with rice and sweetcorn

Wed 18th Veggie Haggis, Winter Wedges and [strike]cabbage[/strike] turnip with gravy

Thu 19th Fish fingers, mash and beans

Fri 20th Sausage, courgette, sweet potato and pepper hash

Sat 21st Turkey curry, rice and HM naan

Sun 22nd [strike]Creamy sausage and mushroom pasta[/strike] Chicken, pepper, mushroom, mangetout and baby corn stir fry with noodles
Shopping on Tue so I might pick up some more veggies and add to meal plan, although only if reduced! Should not need lots more just general bits and bobs.

I hope everyone has a good week.

Thanks OrkneyStar! It's doing me the power of good getting it all sorted. The kids always look at whats on offer & decide which night they're not going to eat at home if they don't like it. I let them choose one evening a week that they can eat out - sounds mean but with 3 of them being teens I like them to 'touch base' so we can all catch up & I also know what they're up to LOL!! I make a point that we all sit down together so meal time is a good time for family chats. They'll prob let their kids eat on the hoof after being brought up with me!!

I'll try and put the recipes up over the weekend after we've tasted them!! They're from the latest Home Farmer magazine (gosh, I'm sounding more exciting by the minute aren't I) :rolleyes:

newlywed · 13 February 2009 at 11:40AM

Here's mine:

Mon - Mackerel/kippers (kippers for me) and roasted veg
Tue - HM Turkey, lentil and veg curry (in freezer)
Wed - chilli wraps (or omelettes if we have the stepkids all day)
Thur - sausages with leek and butterbean bake
fri - Beef borginoin plus green veg
Sat - Toady hole and veg
Sun - sausage casserole (from freezer)

Veg varies as to whatever we have in/needs using or what I feel like chopping and cooking

Lunches are soups, jacket spuds and any possible leftovers (not likely though as I'm getting better at serving sizes).
