Veg Curry is great made with frozen veg and red lentils served with rice. I lived on that for ages as a student and now I am making it again. Lentils are great as they are cheap and very good for you. I just boil the lentils in water, cook some mixed veg, add the two together with a chopped onion and curry powder. You can make it go further by adding a can of chopped toms and it is a dish that freezes well too.

I eat alot of pasta, rice and spuds and it can get boring but I try to vary the meals as much as pos. When I have beef mince sometimes I make a Shepard's Pie but topped with mashed swede to make it abit different. Another cheap meal I have made is a Corned Beef Stew which is just some veg cooked in a can of toms with herbs and some Worcester sauce added to it. I then add in near the end of cooking that through chopped chunks of lean corned beef from a small can. One of my mates thought it would be disgusting but she really liked it when she tasted some I'd made.

Hi Jolaaled,

We have very similar menus to you, as my son is veggie, and we tend to follow suit.

Thank you everyone. I'll try and do a menu planner again I did do one but that was having things like tortillas but as I said I haven't had much luck with this flour. I will keep trying though and if all else fails I'll buy some noodles as long as I can eat them.
