The prawns are so simple there's no recipe: just cook the rice in coconut milk (from a tin) rather than in water (you might need to add a splash of water if the coconut milk's quite thick); while it's cooking, heat up some sweet chilli sauce, add the sweetcorn (fresh for me this time, but tinned/frozen works, too) and some defrosted frozen prawns, and heat through. Serve the saucy prawns poured over the sticky rice. It's a recipe my dad taught me - so simple but so good!

I'd like to second the request for the chicken burgers recipe, though, please ladymarmalade - they sound scrummy!

Thanks, that sounds yummy! I have a tin of coconut milk that I keep putting off using as there's only me, so didn't want to waste it by only using a bit. I suppose I could make up more rice and freeze any I don't use this way though.

I haven't tried freezing the coconutty rice but I can't think of any reason why you can't. Coconut milk on its own freezes well - it tends to separate a bit when it's defrosted but a quick stir sorts it out. I do this quite a lot - I'm also on my own and find a whole tin of coconut milk's too much for me, too - why can't they make small tins?

Ok, had to have a bit of a change-about, as I didn't have everything in front of me and haven't got my meals in the right place! Changes above...

So basically, I had the wrong week in place. Oops.

I planned for a whole week ... but forgot I'm away on Thursday night (conference in London) and won't be back until late Friday. OH doesn't follow my plan if I'm not here, and I'm not inclined to fuss about it as I'll be sitting in a restaurant on my own with a book, oh bliss!

Saturday: lamb tagine from this month's BBC good food (removed a portion to serve without meat for daughter), couscous
Verdict: not as nice as I expected, daughter's bit was horrid possibly because I burned it.

Sunday: nut loaf, vegetables, roasties, gravy
Monday: chicken thighs (bone in) cooked with lots of garlic, potatoes, vegetables
Tuesday: tagliatelle with sardines, breadcrumbs, sultanas & pine nuts, salad
Wednesday: leek, cheese & bacon tart from this month's bbc good food magazine
Thursday: OH will probably cook carbonara, which is one of the few things he's good at
Friday: I suspect OH will get pizza; I'll have something on toast when I get in at about 9pm.

Other stuff: I'll make two batches of muffins today, to put in lunch boxes. Or maybe one batch and the orange cake from the Jane Grigson fruit book.

The mix-up means we still have in the freezer: smoked fish, 4 chicken thighs, 3 pork loin chops, pork mince, and two bit so unidentified frozen meat. I will also have a veg oversupply as I just know OH won't cook any veg!

Penny-Pincher!!

Have swapped a veg around today as we got a cauliflower from Aldi cheap and will do a Cauli cheese and carrots/peas instead...yummy! Beef has been in SC since 8.30 and smells lovely already. Beef from Lidl reduced to £3.11 for a topside joint, hopefully big enough for roast and a round of sarnies tomorrow.

Could I be really cheeky and ask for the recipes for these meals please? They sound delicious

Sure Sorry for delay in replying.

The isnt really a recipes for the pesto chicken burgers. Just get some chicken breast and cut them in half so they make a thin burger and then spread some pesto of you choice, I like basil, over the pieces of chicken. Griddle them and then serve as you would serve a normal burger....quick, easy and tasty.

Here is the recipe for the chicken one pot http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/9582/honey-mustard-chicken-pot-with-parsnips I cannot claim it as my own.....it is so delicious, we have been having it once a week recently! This week I don't hav enough parsnips so I am going to use some leftover carrots too!
