So here's our meal plan for the week ... everythings gotta be easy make as I'm finding I'm at work from 7-5 and then bringing at least 4 hours worth of work home with me each night :rolleyes: plus I have a bloomin cold

Today: Mango chutney hot dogs

Monday: Home made chips and egg (use up loads of potatoes that were BOGOF at Tescos)

Tuesday: Meal from freezer (at college straight after work until 9.30pm)

Wednesday: Beef and Ale casserole in SC with horseradish mash and carrots

Thursday: Spinach, sundried tomato and 2 cheese gnocchi bake with garlic bread (no meat night - hurrah! Taken me 2 years to get OH to accept a meal with no meat!)

Friday: Chicken Enchiladas (shopping night & meal plan night)

Saturday: HM sweet chilli chicken pizza and salad

Lunches will be sandwiches for OH and soup for me .. apparently you feed a cold?? well thats my excuse!

this website is an inspiration to me and I'm changing so much in my life as a result
my Mum is a great one for planning and making menus ( although she does her's 6 months at a time ) she doesn't work and hasn't ever really worked so that helps
I on the other hand work nearly 27 hours a week , run a house , have a handmade card business, a hubby who works 2 jobs and 2 grown up children still at home so life is chaos
but I've got to organise my life so making a meal plan is all part of it so here goes
Monday - a mini roast as we're not having one today as I'm having new wooden flooring fitted in my bedroom ,
Tuesday - is always burger and chips
Wednesday - my daughter cooks, this week its chicken kiev, jacket potatoes and veg or coleslaw
Thursday - sausages , mash , veg and gravy
Friday - meatballs and pasta - made loads up the other week , had some left so they're in the freezer and just need reheating
Saturday - hopefully at my friends for dinner
Sunday - chicken casserole in the slow cooker

They're just a basic chocolate muffin mix with 100g of white chocolate chips and 50 g of mini marshmallows added to the mix.
They're great sereved warm with a bit of clotted cream.

Kitchenbunny - the most adventurous I have been with hm pizza is cheese, tom & ham, my oh would love your meat feast pizza - the meat toppings are they pre-cooked or put on raw and how long would you cook it for?? Many thanks.

I put them on raw except the BBQ pork - the oven should take care of the rest. As for the shredded BBQ pork, I did a shoulder joint in the slow cooker the other week - the leftover meat I mixed with BBQ sauce, split into portions in little bags and froze for the pizzas. I mix a carton of passata with garlic and mixed dried herbs for the sauce, too - mmm

Hope that helps
