    mummyofrayne - what is bacon and egg pie? (Possibly a silly question!)
    Skint_Catt - i note you are on Sw also - good luck - my DH and i have been doing it for about 6 months now.

    I basically get a pile of potatoes and make mash [no butter etc SW style] use the mash to line a pasty dish, get some cooking bacon misshaps, onion and cover with beaten egg. Bake in the oven until golden, and the egg is cooked. You could add cheese and other veg to it if you fancied.

    I find this is quite filling so I only have spaghetti with it, it's also completely free on the new Extra Easy plan.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi everyone,

    Here's my plan for the week. The days I have each meal may change, but this is what we will be having unless DH gets moody and changes his mind:rolleyes::

    Monday: Meat curry, rice and lentils
    Tuesday: Sausages, mash, gravy, broccoli
    Wednesday: [strike]Nicoise salad with duck breast & chicken livers (£4.99 for huge duck breast at Lidl - nomnom)[/strike] OH out with clients, I made myself a chickpea curry with vegetables that were lurking in the fridge
    Thursday: Goulash and [strike]rice[/strike] carrot and potato mash
    Friday: [strike]Kale and potato mash with smoked sausage [/strike]Nicoise salad with duck breast & chicken livers (£4.99 for huge duck breast at Lidl - nomnom
    Saturday: HM pizza
    Sunday: Puff pastry tart with taleggio and vine tomatoes (and salad)

    Lunches for me will be leftovers, soup and bread or sandwiches. DD gets a cooked lunch at school and DH sorts out his own lunch. Breakfast is toast or yoghurt for me and cereal and milk for DD. DH only does coffee in the morning.

    Tues - Chilli, hm guacamole and salsa, rice

    Weds - Nando's marinated chicken legs, roasted sweet potatoes, tomato avocado salsa

    Thurs - hm pizza and toppings (husband away)

    Fri - chicken and chickpea curry, rice, naan

    Sat - Steaks in a JD marinade, spinach in marscapone, hm wedges

    Sun - Spag bol

    Have a great week

    Mix the milk and egg yolks in separate bowl,then add to the butter mixture with the flour and beat well.

    Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
    Fold a spoonful into the creamed mixture to loosen it then fold in the rest.
    Pour into buttered 1 litre souffle dish.

    Place the dish on a double layer of newspaper in a deep roasting tin.
    Pour boiling water into the tin to reach halfway up the sides.
