    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Lots of seriously yummy sounding meal plans again this week - I particularly fancy your saag aloo and pilaf, Boodle! ;)

    Anyhoo (sorry, I've been working with an American lady at work and it's catching!) - here's mine:

    Tonight - sausage and baked bean casserole with bread and butter, and lots of tomato ketchup (it's been a bad week and I feel a need to regress to childhood :o)
    Saturday - pizza (freezer) and salad
    Sunday -
    cheese-stuffed, bacon wrapped chicken (chicken and bacon from freezer) with roast veg, followed by Eve's pudding and ice cream (probably followed by indigestion, I suspect!)
    Monday - roast bacon-wrapped sausages with apple, and carrot and potato mash
    Tuesday - cheese & onion crispbakes (from freezer) with spicy tomato sauce
    Wednesday - tuna cheese plait and salad
    Thursday - cream cheese and veg pasta bake

    Have a good week, peeps!
    Back after a very long break!

    Here's ours. A very hurried affair and not terribly well thought out but using up freezer foods to start a fresh after my hols.

    No particular running order - just as we feel like this week.

    Tuna Plait with baked beans
    Roast lamb with all trimmings and garden veg
    Creamy lemon/garlic chicken and pasta with garlic bread and salad
    Steak pudding with garden veg. (Trying Blacksaturn's SC recipe)
    Pork chops, HG new pots and garden veg
    Spaghetti bolognaise with garlic bread. (must use glutting tomatoes some how!)
    Cheesy bubble & squeak with poached egg.

    Big plan is to use loads of potatoes, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, garlic etc from the garden before we go away and save some pence for my happy hols.
    Can't wait to pack my bucket and spade - mind way weathers going with the rain I'll probably need to wear that on my head. :rolleyes:
