  • Monday - Nigella's chilli (freezer) - the flavour definitely improved with time
    Tuesday - Jamie Oliver's turkey and sweet leek pie (leftover turkey) - highly recommended!
    Wednesday - Kitchen Revolution turkey and chestnut soup (more leftover turkey)
    Thursday - cottage pie with potato and parsnip mash (mash in freezer from Xmas) - got home late and had pasta and pesto instead
    Friday - roast
    Saturday - out
    Sunday - paella (using leftover roast chicken) - cheating and having Chinese (will make paella and freeze it for another time)

    Comments on Kitchen Revolution meals last week - meatloaf could do with more seasoning, pork and red cabbage bake lush!

    • Sunday - sausage casserole, mash and peas (meaty for OH, veggie for me)
    • Monday - chicken curry and rice for OH, spag bol made with quorn mince for me (both will result in a spare portion for the freezer)
    • Tuesday - OH out, jacket potato, beans and cheese for me
    • Wednesday - OH salmon fillet, jacket potato and peas or a frozen portion of something from the freezer, I'm out for a curry with work
    • Thursday - tuna pasta bake and posh bread (whoopsied from Mr T) for both of us
    • Friday - OH big lunch at work so just beans on toast or something similar, fishfingers, potato croquettes and beans for me (using up the ends of things in the freezer)
    Saturday and Sunday we'll be visiting family and will be fed there (hopefully!)

    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!)
    Hi; could I be cheeky and ask for your black bean and aubergine chilli recipe please - thanks! :D
    That's Numberwang!
