Meal Plans WB 11 February 2007

Hi, all! I'm starting this thread for Penny Pincher, who's away.

Hope you're having a great time, hun :beer:

My plan for this week:

Saturday – onion soup, seedy bread, cheese, fruit, yoghurt
- pasta and sauce

Sunday – soup and bread
- sausages, Yorkshires, mash, onion gravy, veg; gooseberry crumble

Monday – courgette and parmesan pasta

Tuesday – small Penguins away, so DH and I going out

Wednesday – curry night

Thursday – turkey pie

Friday – pizza

Children are on half term, so lunches will be substantial for them (pasties, pizza, baked potatoes, omelette). I have a cake in the tin, and will be making muffins, butterfly buns, biscuits. DD wants to try her hand at Florentines.

This thread will soon be in the Complete Meal Plans Collection.

Have a good week!

Penny. x
