Ha ... Well, the tempura could have been lighter. And some of the hand rolls with chopped tuna had a wee bit too much wasabi (ouch). But DS ate sweet potato, pepper, asparagus [batter will hide almost anything] and some seared tuna, for the first ever time. And DD ate her first seaweed quite happily, especially as she had assembled the smoked salmon balls filled with sushi rice. I guess that's a success for new-food-experiences if nothing else!

oops, my plan has changed already! Not vg at this meal planning thing

We had the slow roasted shoulder of pork last night(very very delicious-but the shoulder was very large-over 5kg, and I had to remove below the elbow joint so it could fit in roasting tray, so I have that frozen seperately), and have HUGE amounts of leftover pork(and I have 2x 750ml tubs of it shredded with gravy in the freezer too-hoping can use in a pie or pasta sauce), so amended meal plan is
Su-Lamb, leek and haricot bean stew (kitchen diaries)
Mo-crackling roast pork soup noodles with pak choi
Tu-Pork, brocolli and tallegio lasagne (from econ gastronomy-IF i can find tallegio, if not will be gruyere or similar, but would prefer tallegio-making two and freezing one of them)
Wed-(spicy/southern fried-well oven baked) chicken thighs, corn on the cob and wedges
thur-brocolli, cauliflower macaroni cheese, salad
fri-Roasted salmon, parsnips, kale, and baked spuds
Sat-lamb mince stuffed peppers maybe, maybe away

trying-very-trying

I've been reading NualaBuala's fiver a week plan, and feel inspired so, can I please list mine this week too, writing it down here has helped me to stick to my plan in the past.

Sun: HM leek&tattie soup with rtc garlic and cheese flatbread,My adaptation (and my first ever attempt) Bubble & Squeak
Mon: HM Lasagne with actifry chips (already prepared and in fridge)
Tue: Fully loaded Cauli cheese
Wed: HM Beef, bean & Pasta bake (already prepared and in freezer)
Thurs:Sausage Casserole or maybe Stovies
Fri: My adaptation JO's Fish pie.
Saturday, I'll worry about that when it comes.

This is open to slight additions or variation, as and when I find stuff more desperately needing used up.
I already have everything I need for the week, except milk and fresh fruit.
Hubby's sandwich fillings will include, grated cheese and carrot, egg mayo, jam, hm Corned beef filler, tinned fish filler.

Here's mine.

I have to confess though that the Moroccan Lamb Casserole & Cottage Pie are being made with packet mixes that I bought before I became 'converted' - they do need using up though so I'm consoling myself with the thought that I'm also being 'OS'

Sunday – Roast pork, HM apple sauce, cauliflower cheese, roast spuds, mashed carrots & parsnips & HM gravy

Monday – Butternut squash & bacon risotto with (hopefully) HM garlic bread

Tuesday – Moroccan Lamb casserole, cous cous & broccoli

Wednesday – Cottage pie & cabbage

Thursday – Soup & Beans on Toast with poached duck eggs on top

Friday – HM Chicken & Chickpea curry from freezer with rice & sour cream & Naan bread

Saturday – Chicken & Mushroom pasta bake


Have a fab week everyone x

Wednesday - HM fish and chips with peas.
Thursday - lunch at my grans so just a sandwich or beans on toast for tea.

Saturday - cook chicken for sunday before removing thighs and making them into HM southern fried chicken with some HM wedges and corn on the cob which i have in the freezer.

Quite a cheap week as i'm mostly using leftovers.

I'm trying to be frugal in the run up to Christmas and to rely on what is already in the cupboards. This my plan for this week only the sausages, bacon, fresh fruit & veg, eggs, cheese, butter, milk plus some baking ingredients need buying.

Monday - Baked green lentils and cheese with baked potatoes and some sort of wintery salad.

Tuesday - Potatoes, peas and bacon in cheese sauce

Wednesday - Spaghetti puttanesca

Thursday - Bean or chickpea curry and rice

Friday - Tuna cakes, peas and sweetcorn and ketchup of course.

Saturday -Sausages-not sure how yet maybe sausage meatballs and barley broth or just plain with hm oven chips or with mash and onion gravy. Some sort of fruit pud using apples and/or blackberries from the freezer.

Sunday - Roast chicken (in freezer), roast potatoes,veg and gravy. Pudding- leftovers from Sat or maybe pancakes.
