The main meal plan thread is here - it's fallen down on to the third page, which is why you couldn't find it, I suspect.
Could I have your recipe for sticky sweet chilli sausage baguettes, please? I'm very fond of sausages (no off-colour jokes, please, anyone!) and am always on the look out for new recipes for them.

Well last week went quite well, only got changed to use up some uber rtcs. In particuler my bubble&squeak went down very well and will appear at some point this week by request.
So, here goes, in no particular order:
Lemony pork, with garlic potatoes and veg selection.
Fully loaded cauli cheese.
Ham&cheese tortellini in a tomato based sauce
Bubble & Squeak
Rtc pies with beans and chips
Fish Pie, (cause we didn't get round to having it last week.
I'll also be making tattie & leek soup. I've got stuff in for making up a trifle, apple + mincemeat pies, rice pudding and custard.
.......So it's maybe not as exciting as some of your delicious sounding meals,(and I've bookmarked a few of your recipes today) but we'll not starve.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member # 593 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts!0 -
Afternoon all!
This week is another weird one for me - I've been away at the weekend, and I'm away for the next two weekends as well, so I only need week day meals, but I've been struggling to get enough of fresh food into my diet (I have an aversion to frozen veg sadly, I just cannot get my head around it to enjoy!!)
So this tonight I am going to batch cook this sesame noodle salad http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/sesamenoodlesalad_87103.shtml - the plan being there will be enough to use on it's own for lunches, and as a base for stir fries in the evening - although no doubt I will be seriously bored of it by next weekend!
Monday
L - HM carrot & courgette soup, HM cheese scone
D - Stir fried sesame noodle salad, with chilli prawns and pak choi
Tuesday
L - Sesame noodle salad (&same lunch for wed, thur, fri!)
D - salad with soy steamed salmon & pak choi
Wed
D - parents
Thur
D - egg stir fried noodles with chilli & garlic pak choi
Fri
Away again until Monday!
How do the rest of you find it when you're away a lot, to fit enough fresh food in? I struggle enough anyway as I live alone, so when I'm just there for 4 days a week, I find food just goes off?
Advice appreciated!
Thanks,
