Breakfasts: Cereal, toast, yoghurts, smoothies or fruit.

Lunches (School holidays) - Soup, sandwiches, veggie dips & crudites, cheese/pate & crackers, chessy pasta, things on toast.

Snacks - Twinks, chocolate crispy bars, weetabix cake, anything from the lunch or breakfast menus.

I make everything apart from the lasagne which I buy. With the children all been off school/college I keep an eye on their consumption of 'rubbish' so make a few things myself & offer fruit etc also.

Happy cooking everyone & have a good easter weekend.

I'll be making a Birthday Cake for DD for us to take away for the weekend, too.

Hi, first time menu planning, OH usually cooks. He also usually gets the shopping, and for the two of us it's generally £50+ for one week! So this week I said I'd do it for £20 (actually made it £25 to meet minimum spend for online Asda shop, and so it includes desserts as well!).

Mon - Roast chicken, roast potatoes, stuffing, carrots
Tues - Yellowfin tuna pasta
Wed - Spaghetti bolognese
Thurs - HM chicken and leek soup (cheated and bought some PB bread rolls to go with it)
Fri - Toad in the hole, potatoes, peas
Sat - Bacon omelettes with salad

I also have eggs to make meringues (with ice-cream and tinned fruit), apples and pears to make crumble, and possibly an apple pie. I was thinking about poached pears, but I don't have red wine, only some marsala in the cupboard. Any ideas from you lovely people what I can do with pears and marsala??

Hi & good luck with your first weeks menu plan. I find it very useful & it certainly saves money in this house. Plus the children can look at whats coming up & decide which nights they'd like to be out for tea if they don't like the offering

This looks a nice recipe for your pears & marsala
