Made my chicken casserole - was very ms! half a bottle of rosé that had gone beyond drinkability, a red onion which has been in the fridge too long, three mushrooms and a BOGOF chicken breast.

And there's a portion in the freezer for next week.

Hiya Scrooge

I'm going to try and cook shepherds pie tonight for the first time ever the thing is i'm not entirely sure how to do it.
Could i possibly ask how you make yours?

Or anyone who is reading this in fact, not too many fancy bits though please I really am a newbie to this cooking thing.

Wot I do is fry of the mince til brown peel the poataoes & put on 2 boil, put an onion in with the mince and garlic/mixed herbs if u want.Make up a cup of gravy granules add 2 mince & I usually use some frozen mixed veg & my secret ingredient hp brown sauce;) ,mix all together,simmer until potatoes r ready bout 25/30mins then mash potatoes with a little butter.Place ur mince in casserole dish scoop potatoes on top add mixed herbs if u like & grill 4 a few mins til brown. Cheap Easy & delicious

Hi all

Well last week I was useless at keeping to the plan (did the right meals but the wrong days!) so this week I'm coming up with 7 main meals that I will have at some point during the week!

1. Chicken thighs in chilli dipping sauce, with red peppers, rice and watercress
2. Sausage and mash with peas Monday night
3. Noodle soup, followed by greek salad Friday night
4. Chick fric with rice and peas Saturday night
5. Pasta penne with mozzarella, basil and tomatoes
6. Spanish omelette (made with leftover bits and pieces from the fridge) Thursday night
7. Chicken casserole with saut! potatoes Sunday night - one in the freezer for next week too

Need to buy very little this week - just fresh fruit and veg, and milk.

I'll see if I'm better at sticking to this kind of plan!:rolleyes:

This was going so well.........anyway Tuesday night I didn't eat - a friend came home from work with me and didn't want to eat, and by the time she left I was past it, and tonight I made the leftover mash from Monday into cheese and onion potato cakes.

Will actually see if I can stretch what's there for a couple of extra days anyway because then i'll start on a Saturday which is more logical for the way I shop anyway.
