Please can you post a recipe for the pork and the rice!! Thanks!!!

The pork recipe is one from on here and the rice is just peas, chopped peppers, mushrooms if I can find any, maybe carrots and onion all diced really small, fried off, add rice, stock, any spice I've decided on that goes with the main and turmeric if necessary (DS1 (6) will only eat yellow rice as white or brown rice is 'vile':rotfl:) and cook for as long as necessary - most of my recipes are like this, including what the children call my 'looks about right' soup:D

Here's my meal plan for this week. I'm using up things in the freezer and store cupboard and supplementing with fresh veg and fruit.

• Sunday - Carbonarra & garlic dough balls
• Monday - Fish stuffed with feta & spinach and potatoes
• Tuesday - Pork/Bean casserole with potatoes
• Wednesday - Chilli & rice
• Thursday - Lasagne & garlic dough balls
• Friday - King Prawn risotto
• Saturday - out to friends for dinner hooray

Happy cooking everyone. :j

I don't usually contribute much and my meals are very plain and boring compared to some of yours! I work 3 days per week so things need to be quite easy. However, thought I'd post my meal plan (I have only just started doing this again after a break of several months) and if anyone wants to give me any tips on how to make it more interesting please feel free!!!

Monday: Spaghetti Bolognaise

Tuesday: Bacon, eggs and chips (I have bacon in the freezer left over from Christmas)

Wednesday: Chicken with veg and new potatoes

Thursday: Sausages and cheesy pasta (from a thread I started earlier!)

Friday: Chicken and sweetcorn home made pie made from today's left over roast chicken.

Saturday and Sunday the children are at ex-dh's so I rarely eat those days! (Perhaps a bowl of cereal or some toast or something!!)


I am sure a lot of you will be horrified but I ALWAYS buy ragu for the spag bol. I've tried making my own but it always comes out really watery and tasteless so any tips on that would be appreciated too!

This is my first week official meal plan on here, trying to run from stockcupboard and freezer for first few weeks to get a head start on 4k challenge. Am also making use of morrisons free food week with the mirror, using £5 off-peak bus pass for the week, so wont be paying for petrol to get the food. Will be using bus pass for all visiting etc this week, get my moneys worth and get one every fortnight instead of every week.

Monday - HM fish pie with salmon, + veg
Tuesday - Jacket potatoe with beans/tuna mayo
Wednesday - Roast lamb with roast potatoes, veg
Thursday - Lamb Curry, rice and naan bread
Friday - Sheperd pie
Saturday - Lasagne (leftover bolognaise sauce in freezer)
Sunday - Roast chicken

Should only need to top up with fresh veg and milk, all meat is in freezer. Breakfast is cereal or kids attend breakfast club tue - thurs. Lunch is generally soup or toast for me

well this is the first time i've posted my menus so don't expect anything exciting! I've been a bit sloppy with my meal planning - which resulted in having to go to supermarket on Saturday afternoon...with DH and both kids in tow, an expensive way to do it! so hopefully joining this thread will encourage me to be a bit more organised! anyway less waffle...

Monday Chicken Curry
Tuesday Beef Casserole (in slow cooker)
Wednesday Dahl and Rice (for adults) Tortellini pasta (for kids)
Thursday Sausages and Veg
Friday Pizza (hm)
Saturday Roast Chicken- crumble or cobbler for pud
Sunday Chicken pasta bake

Well, I'm boring too. It's a good quality to have. Very predictable. Anyway, my sauce is something like this. In a non-stick pan put a splash of olive oil Fry a chopped onion in it. Then throw the mince in and cook until it is very brown. Include some chopped or grated carrot with the mince if you like. Put in two tins of chopped tomatoes and herbs and 1 teaspoon salt. The secret ingredient is a tablespoon or two of red wine. Now turn the heat down and cook very slowly until it all amalgamates.

My meals for this week are

Monday - squash stew and rice or bread, depending on how runny it is. Coffee cake
Tuesday - chicken in gravy found in freezer, mash, carrots and green beans. Coffee cake
Wednesday - shepherd's pie found in freezer, Xmas cake #2 and cheese
Thursday - bacon and pasta thing, lemon meringue pie to use up lemons
Friday - kedgeree?, lemon drizzle cake
Saturday - pizzas, chips, chocolate, wine
Sunday - could be hosting MIL, not sure

Lastly, why not save single portions of food from the week to eat up at the weekend? We do this for lunches

I often plan a week's menu, but this is the first time I've planned it with money-saving in mind...

Sunday - Spicy Salmon with mash, carrots and brocolli
Monday - Chicken Curry
Tuesday - Steak + Kidney Pie with veg
Wednesday - Spaghetti Bol (will also have 2 portions to freeze...)
Thursday - OH choice. (I go out to do Brownies, so cooking is up to him!)
Friday - Jacket Potato, sweetcorn & mayo & cheese
Saturday - Chicken Fajitas
Sunday - Roast (or meal at in-law's, not sure which yet)


Any leftover veg from the week will then be used to make my bendy veg soup!
