oh i miss this thread, i don't really have a chance to plan at the mo as am at my folks but i'm getting my mum a bit more organised and we're going to start putting a list on the fridge, so hopefully i'll be back in over the weekend once we've planned it out!Nonny mouse and Proud!!
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!!

Burp - My husband hates fish too, so I do that same thing.
He still drinks coffee in the house when I hate the smell of it though :rolleyes:0 -
I love this thread, but it always makes me feel so hungry - no matter what I've planned for the week I always ending up envying everyone else's meals!
Anyway, I'm back on menu planning this week - I didn't get round to it last week as I'd only just got back from holiday. My week is:
Tonight - posh tomato, cheese and basil pizza
Saturday - aubergine parmigiana (layered with tomato sauce and mozzarella - yum!), then plum and almond crumble (I don't usually do puds but I've got to take my car on a 45 mile round trip to the garage's choice of mechanic so I figure I deserve a treat!)
Sunday - roast chicken legs with mediterranean veg
Monday - chicken and salsa stuffed pepper
Tuesday - roast veg, pasta and hm tomato pesto
Wednesday - veg chilli and garlic bread
Thursday - crab and courgette bake (a recipe I "borrowed" from this thread last week - I never said thank you to the poster so ... er ... thanks very much!
)
Right - now I'll wait for everyone else's suggestions to come in and start wishing I'd planned something else. Sigh!Back after a very long break!0 -
Doing really well, a bit of juggling of days but meals are staying as is.....so proud!
SUN- Roast Pork / Yorkies / Roasties / Veg
MON- Chicken Fajitas w/salad
TUE- LO Roast Pork / Fried Potatoes / Coleslaw / Roll
WED- Gammon Steak / Egg / Chips
THU- BH's day off, either out or he's in charge if home
FRI- Macaroni Cheese w/Bacon / Garden Salad
SAT- Fish~n~Chips
All HM except the Yorkies (Aunt Bessies ready to bake batters) and the Fish~n~Chips (from the chippy!)
In a baking mood, not sure what but it will have to be on hand - not buying any special ingredients.0 -
Sure, we have an organic mixed fruit and veg box and it costs just under £14 (and that includes delivery) I honestly wouldn't be without it now. Good quality organic veggies and fruit. I think we spend about an average £10-£15 a week on top of that for two of us. I'm lucky enough to be in the camp where I prefer to save elsewhere and spend more on good quality food, we eat predominately organicly and locally sourced.Penny-Pincher!! wrote: »Can I ask if you think your Box is worth the money and how much do you pay?

Well, with thanks to everyone on here for inspiring me, last week's worked so I'll give it another go this week:
Sunday – Roast with lots of veggies
Monday – Rest of roast with home made oven chips & roast veggies
Tuesday – Bacon, lettuce & tomato sarnies
Wednesday – Mushroom risotto & garlic bread
Thursday – Baked spuds with cheese & beans & sausages
Friday – Chicken Curry with rice
Saturday – not sure yet – will see what’s left
The prices in the staff canteen at work have gone up horrendously this last few weeks so I'm going to try & organise myself enough to take a packed lunch every day too :money:0
