Hi everyone
I have been trying to menu plan for a while now but it never really seems to stick. So hopefully writing it down will help.
Sunday - lentil soup and rolls
Monday - sausage and bean caserole (already made and bubbling away nicely!)
Tuesday - beef chilli calzone
Wednesday - cauliflower soup and toast
Thursday - spaghetti bolognaise
Friday - Roasted veg pizza
Saturday - Sweet chilli pork noodles
Lunches - Cheese salad, ham salad sandwiches or pasta salad for OH
Breakfast - Toast or cereal
Snacks - Twinks hobnobs, gingerbread, honey and hazelnut loaf
Now that I write it all down I think I am going to be spending quite a lot of time in the kitchen!
Fingers crossed I can stick to it this time!0 -
