Our week starts on a Saturday so:

Sun - Turkey & leek pie, mash and peas

Mon - Roast pork, roast spuds, yorkies and veg.

Tues - Shepherds pie

Weds - Chicken dupiaza with rice

Fri - Fish & chips (homemade)

Breakfast tends to be own brand ready brek for me & ds1, value coco-pops for ds2 and hubby never eats breakfast.

Packed lunch for everone (including Hubby who is at home due to being laid off just before Christmas, but if I pack him a lunch it stops him just eating random food from the fridge/freezer!!).

Hawthorn

Monday - Bean,chicken and vegetable spicy wraps
Tuesday - Vegetable soup with dumplings (using chicken stock as base)

Edited because we do actually eat breakfast and lunch, Doh.

Breakfasts will be either porridge or hotcakes (home made) or fruit.

Lunches, sandwiches with home made bread buns, cheese, meat, fruit, veg sticks, popcorn (home popped) Pastries, cakes/buns...a combination of all those
Also thinking of adding dried fruit to this selection.

We had people coming over on Sat (early) evening and I decided to do antipasti. Thought it would cost a fortune but managed to still get the weekly shop for around 25 quid! :T I shop on Friday evenings so that's how I plan my menus. There are apples, bananas, clementines, dried fruit, carrots and celery for snacks. Also a week's worth of biscuits left from Xmas pressies so I won't need to bake anything. Packed luches all week for hubby are soup Mon-Wed, then cheese and chutney sarnies - he also takes a yoghurt, apple and banana. We drink tap water with meals, otherwise it is milk, coffee or tea.

Friday: Lasagne (from freezer) with watercress on the side

Saturday

• Brunch from Greggs (naughty, I know)
• Antipasti which consisted of a warm pasta salad with sundried toms, some oil from the jar and watercress, tuna and bean salad, marinated mozzarella, olives (left from Xmas), parma ham, gorgonzola, breadsticks and part-baked ciabatta with artichoke dip and extra virgin olive oil with balsamic vinegar in for dipping - we had coffee and continental biscuits (Xmas pressie) afterwards. There was a bottle of red lurking and some no-alcohol Becks for me left from Xmas.

• Steak pie (from freezer) with peas, sweetcorn and bread and butter - Yorkie puds with raspberry jam (the 60s mealplan thread reminded me of how good these are!)
