Ooh, this looks like it might be fun to join in with - here are my plans for this week:
Dinners
Today - burgers for dinner. Not very Sundayish but they were reduced in M&S and oh-so-tasty
Monday - gammon joint cooked in cola in the slow cooker. Served with chips and peas (Using chips to make room in the freezer)
Tuesday - tuna steak, peas, tatties
Wednesday - Spaghetti Bolognaise, just have to remember to defrost it
Thursday - lamb a la slow cooker. Will have tatties, carrots and other veg with it cooked in the SC as well
Friday - going to the pub, so Chinese could be an option. Going to take chili out of the freezer though to try and keep me on the right path
Lunches
Nothing more exciting than ham sandwiches I suspect as I don't get paid until Friday. I also have yoghurts, apples and crisps for snacks. I must remember to take my flasks with me to work for free coffee fun.
I have vague plans to make pea and ham soup with the leftover gammon. Any suggestions as to how I do this would be appreciated!0 -
Monday - Left over Roast Pork from today! (yum - and whoopsied!)
Tuesday - Chicken Tikka Masala (Waitrose whoopsie ready meal from £4 ish to 59p!)
Wednesday - Chili Con Carne
Thursday - Left over Chili Con Carne
Friday - Chicken Curry Pie
Saturday - Left Over Chicken Curry Pie
Sunday - Toad in the Hole - lovely market free range chicken sausages (yum, but expensive)0 -
