Hi All,

This is my first time posting, but I normally lurk for inspiration!

Ive set myself a limit of £100 this month and want to use up lots of the things in my cupboards/freezers and fridge.

I havent done a proper inventory but I know I could make the following meals:

• Chicken Curry with mushrooms and noodles.
• Risotto
• Filled pasta (spinach and ricotta tortellini) and salad
• Stir Fry: Baby sweetcorn, mushrooms, courgette, peppers and noodles
• Toad in the hole (I havent tried this yet and really want to give it a go)
• Fish pie with peas, sweetcorn and carrots
• Macaroni Cheese with Bacon.

Im not sure on which days we will have them, but as I go through more of my cupboards and freezer and have a closer look, this may be subject to change!

Could I have the recipe for this please? It sounds wonderful!

Also, here's my mealplan for the week:

Saturday: HM Lasagne with Garlic Bread
Sunday: Lamb Tikka Skewers
Monday: Shepherd's Pie
Tuesday: At Mum's
Wednesday: Thai Red Chilli Chicken with Noodles
Thursday: Spanish Omelette (although possibly out, weather depending)
Friday: Spaghetti Bolognese

Snacks are homebaked apricot bars and biscuits. Lunches are sandwiches, but as OH is wanting to get a bit more veg into his diet, I'll be trying to come up with some other stuff too. Any puds will be fruit or yoghurt.

Have a good week, everyone!
