  • Our niece (13) has moved in with us this week and has a big preference for meat (lentils were rejected yesterday), so I think shopping is about to get a lot more expensive!

    Here we go:

    Tuna pasta bake
    Southern fried chicken, potato wedges, corn on the cob and peas
    Sweetcorn chowder and HM bread
    Hoi sin beef, spring onion and pepper stir fry with noodles

    Roast lamb, pots, cabbage, carrots, parsnips and peas
    HM turkey burgers with sweet potato wedges and peas
    I like you. I shall kill you last.

  • I have been doing practise runs of my meal plans over the last couple of weeks and now getting into the swing of it! So here's mine

    Monday - Jacket spuds & Cheesey Beans
    Tuesday - Spag Bol (cooked in SC)
    Wednesday - Lasagne
    Thursday - MIL's
    Friday - Take away
    Saturday - HM pizza
    Sunday - Cooked chicken & roast tatties
  • Wish I could find enough recipes using mince for my very fussy children to eat! All the usual apart from spag bol once in a while are refused - and I hate the waste if that happens and there's a limit to how much left over I can eat!!;) - but am looking at what you guys are doing and taking inspiration.:T Have always made homemade stuff but seem to be having trouble with 11yo and 7yo who will not eat the same things! No fish, no cheese for DS (allergic) so that cuts down options and don't like "sloppy" food - ie with sauces grrr! But will persevere and hope that if they are hungry enough they will eat!! At least they will eat most veg - no onion or leek though - and dd will only eat peas if still frozen!!

    Will try for a plan later in the week! May need to as we're half way through the August GC too!

    This is my first attempt of meal planning!

    Taken advice off this forum to do it and that it will help to keep our food bills down!

    It's not a particularly healthy menu as we're trying to live out of our freezer/cupboards to run them down and start our shopping a fresh!

    Here goes:

    Tonight - Kiev and chips (OH turn to cook so had to be simple!)
    Tuesday - Spicy sausage and tomatoe pasta with garlic bread
    Wednesday - Spag bol
    Thursday - I'm out so OH might have left over HM chicken biryani in freezer
    Friday - Sausage pie with potatoes and veg
    Saturday - Chips from chippy!
    Sunday - out all day so may find a slow cooker recipe!

    That will leave the following in our freezer to plan next few days:
    12 home made burgers - maybe do a bbq!
    Traditional Pork sausages
    Beef and horseradish sausages
    Ristorante pizza
    Chicken fillets
    Ravioli
    1 portion of fish pie!

    Wish us luck .... I only hope we stick to it!
