We have a small shop coming from Waitrose later - mostly bread and orange juice, plus veg and fruit (why Waitrose? they have the best wholemeal bread, and we can't buy decent bread anywhere else).
AMENDED BECAUSE VEGE BOX CONTAINED AUBERGINES AND SWEET POTATOES, WHICH I WASN'T EXPECTING.
Sat: spaghetti carbonara
Sun: Roast chicken, with cornbread stuffing, roast sweet potato, courgettes, onions & peppers [freeze portion of chicken and stuffing for another day, make and freeze an extra cornbread]
Mon: Chicken & chorizo rice
Tues: Vegetable casserole and dumplings [including the other sweet potato, ordinary potatoes and carrots]
Wed: Black bean & aubergine chilli, rice, cornbread [make double quantities and freeze half for another time]
Thurs: meatballs & spaghetti
Fri: Fish and chips
Heading into last week of food month, will still have more than a week's meat in freezer (in fact, at the very least three weeks of meat!)Mortgage started on 22.5.09 : £129,600Overpayments to date: £3000June grocery challenge: 400/6000 -
Ok, here's mine for the week:
Saturday - out at a friend's for a birthday party
Sunday - [STRIKE]Roast chicken with all the trimmings[/STRIKE] DH2B fancies lamb tikka kebabs, so that's what we'll have
Monday - [STRIKE]Chicken Caesar Salad[/STRIKE] Toad in the Hole
Tuesday - At Mum's
Wednesday - Pizza with a small portion of chips
Thursday - Chicken Rogan Josh with rice
Friday - Homemade lasagne from the freezer with garlic bread
I really need to get myself organised again (wedding plans are taking up quite a lot of time at the moment). Lunches are 10p noodles with cup soups for me and sandwiches for DH2B. I want to get back into the habits of making healthy flapjacks for my breakfast as I leave too early to eat before I go and end up grabbing sugary drinks to compensate :S EDIT: I'm going to Mr T's today to buy the items for Nigella's Breakfast Bars. Getting there!
