Thankyou Iam going to put it in a pasta .. would you know what sauce i could use to put with the pasta so it isnt dry?

I have 4 chicken breast left.. 2 will be used for the pasta tonight.. I cooked them yesterday so will the other2 b ok to use up tomorrow?

As far as I know you can use meat 2 days after it was cooked, so tomorrow would be fine!

As for the pasta I would just add peas/onions/peppers and drizzle with olive oil - or a bit of sweet chilli sauce would go quite nicely. Maybe a tin of tomatoes would do - depends how strong the chinese sauce is on the chicken.

Am having another nsd today am at home with the kids all day so ds will join me in making a batch of twinks hobnobs and blueberry muffins - might do them in cake cases rather than muffin ones I can probably get twice as many then?

Can you freeze either of the above do they defrost ok?

Hi yummymummy05 - I always make loads of Twinks Hobnobs and Muffins in one go and have always put them in the Freezer and then defrost when needed and never had a problem.:D

Off now to make a Pork & Apple Casserole for Dinner tonight, shall serve it with steamed potatoes, carrots and green beans.;)

Hope you all have a good day.:D

still under my target for this month and have enough food in the freezer. Going to try a new Jamie Oliver receipe tonight using the left over broccoli in my fridge. I am loving this, and trying to make sure I dont bin a single thing, where as I used to bin loads of food.

Hello everyone - just wanted to ask can you change a delivery with tesco once you have checkedout?? If you can how late can you do this till?? Just wondered if i was able to book a delivery for next week and then add to it over the weekend if i think of more things i need etc??? But want to get the delivery space now?? anybody done this. I can no longer face the trip round tesco so plan on doing a big shop and then top ups at the market. My spd and pushing a heavy trolly just dont go together anymore....

Yes you can!! ( I always do this, you can changet the contents / delivery day/time and cancel it at any time up to the night before delivery - I think it is early hours of the morning on the day of delivery if it is a late in the day one, but it will tell you that...the money isn't taken till they check it out ....I often change mine loads of times and then sometimes cancel it....The only thing you can't do once you have checked out is add points or money off vouchers...

Just made a batch of 24 Hobnobs and 24 Muffins, so that should do at least a fortnight - just have to magic some room in my freezer (can't wait 'til I get my 2nd one!!!)

Have enjoyed January's posts and think I can be organised enough to do it so can you please add me for £400 for February please.

Just me and baby for the first week, which should make it slightly easier, as OH grazes all day.

How does everyone work out what their budget will be? Do you plan meals in advance and then workout cost?
