WB 4th Jan is back to school week! Phew, but I'll miss 'em a bit.
Im changing my shopping day from sun to weds, because the delivery charge is lower, so I dont know how all the food will last yet.
I have got quite a bit of stuff in the freezer needs using up now, for a thrifty january.
Mon - something made with fish - perhaps HM fishcakes, and a pie for the adults which is already made in the freezer [I need that pie dish!]
Tue - Roast chicken & veg & pots
Wed - Chicken chasseur & rice
Thur - Egg, Bacon, HM wedges etc
Fri - if I remember to get some cheese on wednesday: Pitta pizzas & salad & veg.
Sat - Mince meal - spag bol or something & pasta
Sun - dont know yet!''A moment's thinking is an hour in words.'' -Thomas Hood0 -
I've gone through my freezer and am going to try really hard at sticking to this. I'll start from tomorrow as what I previously had listed has changed.
One of my 'resolutions' is to try a new recipe each week, so it'll either be something i've never tried before, or something i've tried, but never made.
Friday - going to my dad's for a roast for lunch. If i'm still hungry (doubtful) i'll have some cheese and crackers.
Saturday - lasagne with garlic bread (might make some garlic and basil sticks I have a recipe for)
Sunday - leftover lasagne (or chilli depending on how much is left when I make the lasagne!)
Monday - chicken stirfry with noodles
Tuesday - broccoli and potato bake (bit random, but both will need using)
Wednesday - falafel (burgers) in pittas with salad - new for me, never tried or made them!
Thursday - vegetable stirfry with noodles
Friday - chicken kiev with polenta chips and salad
Saturday - macaroni cheese with bacon and tomatoes
Sunday - sausage, [STRIKE]mash and onion gravy[/STRIKE] potato wedges and broccoli (don't fancy mash)
I still have some spinach in the fridge and a lonely carrot, so will make up some soup at the weekend and take it for lunch as i'm back to work on Monday
Happy New Year everyone!

Happy new year everyone
New year, new menu, january has to be pretty frugal as spent a fortune in the last couple of months of 2009. Luckily I have a couple of freezers fit to burst, so hopefully only really need to buy some veg and milk this month. I get a veg box, so bought veg really only includes spuds and onions (I find I don't get enough of those in the veg box)
Mo-Lamb and potato curry (from freezer) with a cauliflower side dish (OH will make this as its his day off) and rice
Tu-Chilli, baked spud cheese and sour cream
We-Sausages, onion gravy, mash and sprouts.
Th-Tuna, pasta and sweetcorn bake, with mozarella maybe
Fr-roasted chicken thighs with roast swede, onions and spuds, gravy.
Sa-away
Su-Pork chops with roast carrots and parnsips, spuds and a sage gravy if we get home at a reasonable hour0 -
Happy New Year everyone! May 2010 be fruitful and happy for us all. Thank you for posting this week's thread - I hadn't quite finished working out my mealplan, but have been inspired to finish it quickly first thing. Here's mine for next week:
Mon: Leftover Chilli & Pasta Bake
Tues: At Mum's
Weds: Omelette
Thurs: Chicken curry & rice
Fri: Toad in the hole & beans
Sat: Jambalaya
Sun: Roast beef with all the trimmings.
Right now I can see all the extra meals I can make for the following week, which is nice. I love it when inspiration strikes! Lunches will be sandwiches as we're back at work next week, and breakfasts will be cereal. We'll be eating leftover cakes & biscuits from Christmas until those are gone, which means I won't have to bake for a little while yet. Have a good week, everyone, take care and stay safe.

I really need to sort my food budget out this year so will be posting weekly on this thread
. next week looks like this..
Mon chicken pie with mash (roasties for the ones that don't like mash)
Tues pizza and wedges
weds spag boll
Thurs sausage casserole
Fri curry and rice
I usually buy the pizza but i will use my bread maker to make some dough and make homemade pizzas (bread maker has until next week lived on top of the cupboard :mad: i WILL start using it to try and save some money ). If i stick to this plan i will not need to buy and groceries this week apart from milk wish me luck.
I don't plan for weekends as the kids spend all day sat and 2 Sundays out of the month with their dad.x0 -
