MealPlans WB 10th August 2009

Lemon_Verbena

I haven't posted my meal plan for a couple of weeks but have been sticking to it and my budget DH wants to lose a few pounds and I want to lose a couple of stone or more so trying not to have chips, eat more salad and less red meat and generally serve up some leaner, healthier stuff. Trying to do it using up what's in the freezer and take advantage of Aldi's 29p deals as well. Some of this weeks meals (*) are based on recipes in my Easy Cook mag, I was chuffed that I had everything in bar some fromage frais, so nothing to buy.

Mon - Marinated Curried Chicken, New Pots & Salad
Tue - Pasta Bolognese & Salad
Wed - Tuna Baked Potato & Salad
Thu - * Curry Crust Salmon, Jacket Wedges & Salad
Fri - Chicken Korma, Pilau Rice, Cucumber & Onion Relish
Sat - Turkey Sausage Casserole & Jacket Wedges
Sun - * Lemon Pepper Chicken, New Pots, Broccoli & Green Beans

Puds & Treats

Yup I know were wanting to lose weight but puds are still okay as long as they're low fat and made with healthy ingredients. Going to try making the muffins with S/R wholemeal flour

* Banana Rice Pudding
* Basil Peaches & Raspberry Pavlova Ice Cream
Banana Bran Muffins (from Economy Gastronomy prog)
Apple, Sultana & Cinnamon Muffins
Sugar Free Jelly, Fruit & Ice Cream
Flapjacks

Well I had decided to do a menu plan this week and so far (day 2) have been OK. Using freezer stuff as much as possible and need helpfor Friday please. Have old white fish ?? crab sticks, frozen prawns (few) even tinned crab/tuna/salmon, so was thinking of a fishy pie thing - I dont really like real fish pie so finding it tricky. Fed up with pasta. Any bright ideas, would like to use up all the frozen stuff. Oh cooking for 1 and would PREFER not to put another meal back in freezer Thanks

Trying desperately to save pennies until payday on Friday so it's probably a good idea that I post here.

M-Roastie tea with quorn sausages
T- Cauliflower Cheese with Jacket Potato
W-Veggie Chilli, avocado and Jacket Potato
T-Tuna Pasta Bake
F-Cheeky Takeaway
S-Veggie Sausages in Pittas
S-At Grandparents'

Nothing very exciting but it's a busy week workwise, and I need to buy very little this week to create the above :T.
