Didn't do a plan last week and really missed it...
OK, still using last of stuff up in freezers (have 2 and want to turn one off for a bit) so not much nice things, but here goes...
Sunday: Cottage Pie and veggies with rhubarb and apple crumble for afters - change of plan already here as DS has roast that he didn't have yesterday (he likes it saved and warmed up later for some strange reason???) I might just have beans on toast or something quick for myself instead now...
Monday: Pizza and garlic bread
Tuesday: Chili Con Carne
Wednesday: Sausage & mash
Thursday: Pasta and chicken
Friday: Egg, chips and beans
Saturday: Spaghetti Bolognese
