I'm a bit late so I'll back date mine to yesterday. Lunch this week is thai butternut squash soup, breakfast is cereal, banana and a yogurt. Totally out of cash till next wednesday so I'm using up.

Monday - HM fish pie from the freezer, mushy peas, steamed veg.
Tuesday - HM salmon, pesto & spinach en croute with HM potato salad and steamed veg (salmon en croute was delish!!)
Wednesday - OH is making HM pizza
Thursday - stir fry veg, noodles and either a tuna steak or some chicken
Friday - frozen leftovers from last time I got an M&S 2 dine in meal, think it was spanish rice.
Saturday - Girlie night away in Brum,
Sunday - depends how hungover I am, may well be shop bought pizza.

I've just been looking at the pasta fazool recipe and have a question....in the ingredients list does C mean Cups? How big is a cup? I assume its slighly more accurate than just using a tea cup or mug?

A cup is 8 fluid ounces.

Not always, it does depend on what you're measuring a cup of! If it's not liquid, it depends on the weight of the item. For example, a cup of ground almond is 12oz whereas a cup of currants is only 4oz. It's tripped me up a few times!

Hi

My menu seems to have changed every day this week. I seem to have never ending veg in my fridge this week (not that I am complaining) so my menu is changing to use these up.
Also I bought 3 packs of bacon from Lidl yesterday (69p each) that are now in the freezer. Money is quite tight until the end of the month now so what I have in may have to do us. I'll probably need milk and a bit of veg but after reading this board I don't need to keep rushing out to the shops any more and tend to juggle with what we have.

Have a good day everyone
