pizza and garlic doughballs
prawn curry & rice
and items for a stuffed pork tenderloin roast on Sunday.

How do you poach your chicken? Thanks x

To poach a chicken; place it in a large pan with some stock veg (carrot, celery, onion) and add enough water to completely cover. Bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer. Cook gently for about 1.5 hrs, or until it is cooked through

The broth and any left over chicken can be used to make risotto/soup/etc :cool: HTH

My week runs from Sunday - Saturday, so here's my upcoming plan:

Sun 26th - piquant steak with sweet potato chips
Mon 27th - baked potato with HM chilli
Tue 28th - mushroom & red wine pasta
Wed 29th - HM turkey casserole with peas, carrots and mashed potato
Thu 30th - chicken salad
Fri 1st - Home for the weekend

Breakfasts - still got loads of cereal in the flat, so a bowl of that with a banana.

Lunches - cheese, boiled egg or tuna on either a sandwich, salad or baked potato and a bag of sunbites crisps

Snacks - Carrots/apples, some easter eggs that haven't quite been eaten yet, and HM brownies, maybe make a banana bread with all the bananas I seem to have.

Also have in some pineapple so may make up a big fruit salad for desserts. Yum. The good weather is clearly affecting my food choices! :j
