Tuesday - Tomato & Bacon Pasta Sauce with Spaghetti & Parmesan

Saturday - Falafel, Wedges & Beans

Sunday - Bacon, Onion & Potato Hotpot with Yorkshire Puddings

Breakfasts are porridge, fruit, yoghurt & toast.

Lunches are soups, sandwiches, leftovers & things on toast.

Snacks are things from the lunch menu, home popped corn with salted, sweet or syrupy topping, eggs on toast & I've also got a chocolate cake & weetabix cake in the freezer and will make some Twinks, a big cheese & onion flan & I always keep a bowl of cooked pasta in there for microwaving with grated cheese.

DS2 and DS3 are growing at the moment and appear to have bottomless legs so I've upped the snacks to include more protein & carbs and not as much sweet stuff, as they both like savoury snacks :T

Happy cooking everyone & have a good week

Is it really that time of the week again already?!

I've got a horrendously busy week coming up (Christmas starts here for me! :xmassmile) so just about everything's from the freezer:

Friday - turkey casserole and dumplings (it was going to be curry but I decided that wasn't very friendly when I've got guests staying on Sunday - I can never get rid of the smell after cooking curry)
Saturday - out - pub quiz team Christmas meal (paid for with our saved winnings, so it shouldn't cost us too much)
Sunday - out - going to a gig - no idea what we're doing for food

- I'm cooking, apparently! It will only be pasta, though - I'll do an aubergine and tomato sauce to go with it as I've got some aubergines going soft in the fridge.
Monday - out for lunch; evening meal will be something snacky
Tuesday - BBQ chicken (from the freezer) with jacket potato and some sort of veg, before I go out (again!)
Wednesday - my only night in! I'll treat myself to a chilli cheese burger (naughty but nice)
Thursday - evening class night, so something from the freezer when I get in

Yikes - it looks even worse written down like that! :eek:

Have a good week, y'all!

Hi everyone

My goodness, my plans are getting complicated. Baby loves her food so is now on 3 meals a day and supper (!) but is still on mush, apart from banana and bread which she can cope with. So more planning, trying to make it as easy as possible by making things for us that can be mushed up for her. I managed to come up with a meal plan just for baby to make the main one less complicated - but I didn't think any of you would be interested in the mush that one consists of!

DD has tea at same time as baby, me and DH have dinner once littlies in bed. DD's supper is banana or toast. Snacks can be dried or fresh fruit, or carrot (or nuts for me.) DD's puds can be fruit or soya yoghurt. DH takes flakes and banana for breakfast, whichever soup is on the go otherwise peanut butter and salad/jam sandwiches, yoghurt and apple for lunch.

Saturday
B: Branflakes with dried mixed berries, sunflower seeds and almonds.
L: Out
T: Mediterranean stew with greens and quinoa

Mixed bean chilli with greens and baguette

Sunday
B: Vanilla french toast
L: Green lentil loaf, veg, potatoes and gravy. Followed by ground rice pud.
T (all): Hummus sandwiches, peanut butter sandwiches, crisps and cake.

Nachos

Monday
B: Pear muffins
L: Tomato soup and toast
T&D: Pitta pizza, veg/salad and wedges

Tuesday
B: Branflakes with dried mixed berries,sunflower seeds and almonds
L: Avocado and hummus sandwiches
T&D: Cauldron sausages, beans, greens and mashed potato

Wednesday
B: Pear muffins
L: Hummus sandwiches
T&D: Mixed vegetable lasagne with garlic baguette

Thursday
B: Porridge with maple syrup and walnuts (dried mixed berries for DD)
L: Veg and red lentil soup
T&D: Orzotto

Friday
B: Pear muffins
L: Veg and red lentil soup
T: Mixed veg satay with basmati rice

Sesame, peanut and vegetable stir fry with brown rice

This week hasn't gone to plan at all, so I must try harder!!

Friday - sausage pasta bake with spinach

Saturday - going to my dad's for lunch, so will probably have something snacky for dinner

Sunday - sausage pasta bake with spinach

Monday - stuffed pepper with cous cous and [STRIKE]potato wedges[/STRIKE] polenta chips

Tuesday - [STRIKE]might be going out with my brother. If not, i'll either grab something from the freezer or have some Super Noodles

[/STRIKE] just had crackers and cheese as had a sandwich at about 4pm for 'lunch'.

Wednesday - [STRIKE]southern fried chicken with beans and potato wedges[/STRIKE] chicken kiev with mashed potato and beans

Thursday - [STRIKE]jacket potato with cheese and beans[/STRIKE] had a toasted bagel (meant for lunch, ran out of time) with beans and fried eggs

Friday - [STRIKE]vegetable stirfry with rice[/STRIKE] I know this is at the back of my freezer and if I take it out, I might not be able to get everything back in again! SO...I will either have a kiev with something, or take some of my pasta bake out

Saturday - [STRIKE]chicken kiev with polenta chips and veg (not sure what yet)[/STRIKE] going to my sisters

Sunday - not sure yet, I might make some fishcakes, but it depends if I can make space in the freezer. I will have a poke round during the week and see what I can do!

Lunch will be leftover pasta bake and then bagels from the freezer with ham and cucumber. No lunch on Tuesday as i'm leaving work early for a hospital appointment.
