Of course! My daughter is allergic to eggs so she won't be having one, and my sons may well choose not to -it's a case of 'who wants an egg on their hash?'

Thanks! It sounds a bit silly but I thought that the egg may have complimented the flavour of the hash in the same way that bacon makes a burger taste better!! :rotfl:

Aw that is so sweet - is nice to be missed Lately I have been usually found dealing with an unhappy teething baby, poor little thing She seems to have found her thumb for the moment so will see how far I get posting this week's plan before they start niggling again...

BTW, how much is thread growing! All these lovely plans for inspiration - lovely!

If we don't fancy what is the on the plan, we have something else I do my weekly shop according to the plan, obviously, but with storecupboard essentials I can usually accomadate a swap from, say a tinned tomato-based pasta dish to a tinned tomato-based curry with rice and/or naan, or a veggie stir-fry, etc, etc... I often have something other than what is on the plan for lunch. But at least I know there is something in for each meal and don't have to go mad trying to come up with inspiration on a particularly hectic day. Oh, and my OH knows better than to come in from work to find me juggling noisy children with the phone ringing and in the middle of cleaning something whilst covered in baby sick, and ask "What's for tea, dear?" He is most likely to hear "I don't know, what are you making?" in response...

Breakfasts
Toast with HM Strawberry Jam, HM Marmalade, or Marmite
or Branflakes with Raisins and/or Dried Figs
or Porridge with Blueberries or Raisins and/or Dried Figs
(Today DD didn't want any of these so had a bowl of grapes, strawberries, blackberries, banana and a rich tea biscuit!)

Lunches
Monday: Tuna and Sweetcorn Pasta, Roasted Veg Salad and Crunchy Leaves leftover from baby's party.
Tuesday: Probably same as Monday.
Wednesday: Mature Organic Cheddar Scones with Salad
Thursday: Kidney Bean and Sweetcorn Couscous
Friday: Peanut Butter, Mango Chutney, Onion and Baby Spinach Sandwiches on Seeded Bread
Saturday at parents' house
Sunday: Toad in the Hole (with Organic Sausages and Eggs), Veg, Steamed Potatoes and Gravy. Followed by HM Marmalade Pud with Organic Vanilla Ice Cream.

Dinners
Monday: Baked Beans on Toast with Salad
Tuesday: Grilled Smoked Mackerel and Grilled Tomatoes with Salad and Mature Organic Cheddar Scones
Wednesday: Kidney Bean and Sweetcorn Couscous
Thursday: Spaghetti Napolitana with Salad
Friday: Fish Florentine with Roasted Carrots
Saturday: HM Organic Beef Burgers in Sesame Buns with Gherkins and Salad
Sunday: Bread and Butter, Crisps, Tea and Digestives - lovely!

That's what I like best about this thread - being reminded of things I haven't made in ages. I think I'll make some cheese scones over the weekend - yum! Thanks, Boodle!
