    Thanks for starting us off, Kadeeae - I hadn't realised it was that time of the week again (and is it just me or are weeks going more quickly these days?).

    This week I've got:

    Tonight - lamb rogan josh with garlic naan
    Saturday - not sure - I'm visiting my sister during the day and have no idea whether we'll eat at lunchtime or if I'll grab something when I get home
    Sunday - roasted tomato and root veg casserole with herb dumplings
    Monday - chilli con carne with garlic bread and salad
    Tuesday - chicken and prawn jambalaya, using some of last weekend's rubber chicken which is currently in the freezer
    Wednesday - spaghetti tetrazzini, using the last of the rubber chicken
    Thursday - LO root veg casserole

    Lunch will be sandwiches or rubber chicken soup (I love rubber chicken, and this one has been really rubbery!), and snacks will be fresh fruit and spice cake.
    Back after a very long break!
  • Here's me:

    Monday: soup day - either French Onion or Leek and Potato from freezer
    Tuesday: Sweet & Sour Pork and pasta
    Wednesday: Quiche & Tabule
    Thursday: Sushi rice, fish, anchovies and pea surprise :eek:
    Friday: Macoroni cheese scraps
    Sat & sun: Away! yay! no cooking :j

    Glad you had a good rubber with your bargain chicken last week CCP we'll be finsihed ours by tomorrow x
    Bon App's Scraps!

    Hi everyone, hope you are all well :)
    Doing slightly better on the old meal planning-although we were away last week, have pretty much followed the plan for the 2 nights I had planned:rotfl:. We were supposed to go out wednesday night for OH birthday, but he decided would rather stay in with a roast FR guinea fowl and a nice bottle of wine, so that was :money: and the guinea fowl-although appearing tiny, provided enough meat for 2 large roast dinners, about 4lots of sandwiches and some shreds in broth, along with all the pickings! Carcass made 3L of very delicious stock-most of which became broth, but there is 500ml in the freezer.
    It seems the secret of us following the menu plan on the nights we both work late, is not just menu planning, but ensuring that we have the meal READY to just stick in the oven at 7/730 when we get in :D (tuna pasta bake last night, made on wednesday, and shepherds pie tonight from the freezer-yay go me:beer:)

    This weekend (27th/28th) we are both working, I should be home for dinners etc barring emergencies, but OH is in office-so he will be mainly eating frozen leftover/readymeals (HM of course:p) and I will have broth/omelettes/pasta that sort of thing
    Have meal planned for all of march, but no doubt there will be subs, so just taking it one week at a time :D
    sorry, just realised really been jabbering on :o
    here we go, meal plans from march 1st:-

    Mo 1st kale, sausage mustardy pasta (made up recipe! will take some sausages out of skins fry with onions, wilt the kale and add wholegrain mustard and cream)
    Tu 2nd baked fish with leeks &mushrooms with rosemary spuds
    We 3rd chilli, rice (freezer)
    Th 4th chicken stew baked spud and greens (freezer)
    Fr 5th spag bol (from freezer) and salad
    Sa 6th sausages &mash, onion gravy, greens
    Su 7th roast pork &trimmings


    Lunches OH has at work, I tend to have sandwich or HM soup if I get a break, otherwise eat rubbish at work :(
