This is the first time I've been organised enough to do this, so days may well be swapped around before the week is over

Monday out with friends for my birthday!!
Tuesday spag bol (from freezer)
Wednesday turkey curry (turkey in freezer from christmas, curry queens recipe)
Thursday cottage pie
Friday pork casserole type thing, some pork chops in freezer need using
Saturday Roast dinner, pork or chicken

Don't always have desert but somewhere in theh week we have jelly or rice pudding.
Breakfasts are cereal or porridge. Lunches are soup or sandwiches or salad.

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.

Thank you - I'll give it a go. Need to get some chopped tomatoes and onions.

I must not buy anything else. I must not buy anything else. I must not buy anything else.

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!!!

I work 2 days a week, and am usually home late on those days. My tricks are:

• batch cook pasta sauce or chilli, and freeze family size portions. Take out a portion the night before just to heat up while the pasta or rice cooks
• make a pasta bake or stovies the night before. I call the children as I leave work and they put it into the Rayburn for a hot meal when I'm home
• have a list of easy meals thet can be rustled up in no time (omelette, pasta and cheese sauce or jarred pesto, risotto, quesadillas, toasted sandwich with tinned soup)

I find menu planning helps, as on the days I'm at home, I plan more interesting meals

Hi everyone,

About half of last week's plan didn't make it so they're reappearing in this week's one. This is what's on the menu this week:

Monday: chicken curry with all the bits (MIL made it for us, nomnom)
Tuesday: Cottage pie (partly from freezer)
Wednesday: Taleggio and vine tomato tart
Thursday: Kale and potato mash with smoked sausage
Friday: HM lasagne
Saturday: HM pizza
Sunday: out

Lunches are leftovers, soup and bread or sandwiches. Breakfast is toast, yoghurt or cereal.

Let's see if I can stick to the plan this week. I'll probably end up changing what we have what day but since DH agreed to this one, let's hope this is the definite plan.
