    I have meal planned for months so this thread should help me keep to it properly!

    Dinners only for this week.

    Sat - Homemade cottage pie
    Sun - We are going out for dinner, Hubs is treating me :j
    Mon - Hearty Pasta Soup - found this thanks to the stock piling thread :beer: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5592/hearty-pasta-soup

    Tues - BBQ pork quesadilla's with green pepper and tomato salad
    http://southernfood.about.com/od/pulledporkrecipes/r/cpweekly33.htm

    Wed - Cheese and onion omlette with side salad
    Thurs - Tomato and chili pasta bake
    Fri - Homemade chili with rice

    Lunched will be either homemade soup or sandwiches (have loads of tinned tuna to use up) I think i have all the ingredients i need for next week so my only outlay should be for milk, fruit and bread.

    Fingers crossed I can stick to it!

    Ok, here goes:

    Saturday: out for a meal
    Sunday: potentially at friend's for dinner
    Monday: Homemade lasagne from the freezer
    Tuesday: At Mum's
    Wednesday: Spanish Omelette with Bread and Butter
    Thursday: Chicken Curry (probably Rogan Josh)
    Friday: Pizza (for a treat, and we've got one in the freezer to use up)

    Lunches will be sandwiches or beans on toast, and I do plan to do some baking at some point - I quite fancy the idea of the coconut cake bars, and I might do some more apricot bars.

    Have a good week everyone

    Hi everyone. A bit of strange week as my Dad's in hospital but I'm keeping to the plan as much as possible so I don't fall back on take aways or snack food ;) My Mum will eat with us most days so I know that she's taking care of herself too. We are having:

    Monday - Homemade pizza, chips & salad

    Tuesday - Meatballs & spaghetti

    Wednesday - Chicken Korma & Rice

    Thursday - Spaghetti Bolognese

    Friday - Sausage Pasta

    Saturday - Spicy lentil soup & sandwiches followed by cheesecake (DD will make it ;))

    Sunday - Roast Gammon, new potatoes & salad

    Breakfasts: Cereal, toast, yoghurts, smoothies.

    Lunches: Sandwiches, pate & toast, dips & veg sticks, soup.

    Snacks: Twinks hobnobs, weetabix cake, yoghurt, fruit and anything from the lunch menu.

    I'm going to try some homemade falafal burgers in pittas with salad for a lunch this week too. I get BBC EasyCook magazine and it was one of the recipes this month :T

    Happy cooking everyone!
