Lots of really tasty-sounding meal plans again this week - I find this is the worst thread for making me feel really hungry!
I have an extra-long week this time as I'm off on holiday the week after next :j:j
Tonight - hm pizza with chorizo and jalapenos, plus a glass or two of wine as it has been a Really Bad Day, then, on the way home, I nearly ran over a cat which hadn't studied its green cross code :eek:
Saturday - minestrone soup and cheese & onion bread (both hm), then sticky toffee pudding and stewed fruit(naughty stuff!)
Sunday - possibly out with friends; if not, LO minestrone soup and bread
Monday - keema curry and naan bread (curry hm, naan bread not!)
Tuesday - poached egg and baked beans on toast
Wednesday - courgette moussaka
Thursday - tortelloni pasta bake
Friday - macaroni and veg cheese
Saturday - out for a friend's birthday - probably a curry
Sunday - steak, chips and salad
Back after a very long break!0 -
Hi the shuffs
I don't have the E. Gastronomy book, I got the recipes off their website. I have not tried their shepherds pie before ( I usually make it using beef mince). I will let you know how it turns out!0 -
Friday - pasta and sauce (from a packet
) I fancied something warm, quick and easy (oh er!
)
Saturday - going to see my brother and sister. I think we're going out for Chinese
Sunday - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5018/carrot-parsnip-and-horseradish-gratins this was a disaster...my own fault as didn't bother with cream and only used half the stated amount of milk instead, so after 1.5 hours in the oven it was raw. 20 minutes later in the microwave it was cooked, but shrivelled and horrible. I had a bit, but gave up and had an apple instead
Monday - [STRIKE]leftover gratin from Sunday[/STRIKE] I blended what was left into a soup and had it with some homemade bread
Tuesday - [STRIKE]chicken stirfry with noodles[/STRIKE] Forgot to take chicken out the freezer so had beans on toast (using the HM bread) instead
Wednesday - pasta with leek and bacon
Thursday - [STRIKE]honey and paprika chicken with chickpea cous cous[/STRIKE] went to my dad's - had chilli and rice
Friday - [STRIKE]sausage and bean stew[/STRIKE] leftover pasta
Saturday - [STRIKE]sausage and bean stew[/STRIKE] will attempt stirfry
Sunday - tuna fishcakes with potato wedges
It's all changed as i've gone off food for some reason!Grocery challenge - Nov: £52/£100

The apple braids I made last week (using apples from the garden) have gone down well, so I'm making more of them. I leave them un-iced for breakfasts
I've also make flapjack and cranberry brownies for the children to take as snacks.

Hello everyone! Here's mine, and sorry for being late
Sunday: Out, but HM meat feast pizza if we need it - mmmm (pepperoni, shredded BBQ pork, bacon, mushroom, onion, peppers and cheese)
Monday: HM Lasagne from freezer with garlic bread and salad
Tuesday: At Mum's
Wednesday: Out for a meal
Thursday: Chicken Saag Masala with extra spinach and wild rice (sauce from a jar)
Friday: Meat Feast Pasta (usually bacon and sausages in a spicy tomato sauce)
Saturday: Bit of a party, so jacket potatoes with a big bowl of either jambalaya or chilli, beans or tuna/cheese to feed the masses!
Sunday: Probably leftovers, failing that, I'll roast a chicken and have the works with it
misscousinitt - those cajun skewers sound lovely! Which seasoning are you using?
Breakfasts are to be cereal or on a weekend, toast and marmite. Lunches will be sandwiches or soup with broken up noodles in - weekend lunches will probably be a bacon and egg sandwich! For snacks, there is fruit and some yoghurts, and I shall probably make some low-fat raspberry muffins during the week to use up the raspberries in my freezer. And there are still some blackberry and apple crumbles in the freezer, not to mention stewed plums and two lots of stewed apples to make a cracking apple pie (or two).
Hope everyone has a good week, and I always love reading mealplans
