    Saturday: Asparagus scrambled eggs and Spanish tomato toast, curry and X-Factor for tea
    Sunday: Leftover fridge stir fry for lunch (manky old veg and a Quality Save 25p stir fry sauce), veggie burgers and corn on the cob from freezer for tea
    Monday: Ribollita (we have some cavelo nero left over)
    Tuesday: OH's birthday, am making tapas!
    Wednesday: Out with OH's parents for birthday meal
    Thursday: Simple tomato pasta and salad

    Breakfasts are cereal and a bagel (OH) and boiled egg and porridge with sultanas (me). Lunches are leftovers or salad (OH) and salad or stir fry me).

    Hi

    Well I haven't been shopping yet so things may change but this is so far

    Mon Cauliflower cheese and jacket potatoes
    Tues Shepherds pie, veg and gravy
    Wed Soup and bread and then apple crumble and custard
    Thurs Toad in the hole, veg and gravy
    Fri Turkey escalope and roasted carrots, parsnips and poataoes
    Sat Sausage, egg and baked beans
    Sun Pork chop, stuffing, roasties, veg and gravy

    I been told to eat sensibly because I have high cholestorol so there are now to be no cakes, and puds are fruit or very low fat yoghurt. All meals grilled or all fat drained etc. Less meat and more veg. I know I probably should eat less meat but baby steps.
    Porridge, weetabix or shredded wheat for breakfast (I can have toast but I am avoiding butter and jam. Lunch will be leftovers or sandwiches (with no spread) with salad and tuna etc

    Anyway bye for now

    Tonight: Crispy Chicken Fajitas with salad

    Sunday: HM Lasagne from freezer (probably with garlic bread and salad)
    Monday: Thai Prawn Curry with extra veggies and noodles
    Tuesday: At Mum's
    Wednesday: Omelette
    Thursday: Sweet and Sour Pork with noodles

    Lunches will be sandwiches on weekdays, beans on toast or scrambled eggs at weekends (maybe with bacon, mmm). Breakfasts will be flapjack bars (me) and cereal (DH) and for desserts there are some blackberry and apple crumbles in the freezer to have with custard or some mini rice puddings to have hot with jam. Or, there's fruit :)

    Well, here we are again folks...

    It's my Xmas doooo tonight so just have DS to cater for, he'd like a take-away I'm sure but have just had a look on Morrisons' website & they have a Chicken Tikka Masala on at half price; hope that will be a good substitute. I also have a few ready meals that I picked up from the Co-op at bargain prices so these will be eaten this week too....

    Saturday – Out – Chicken Tikka Masala for DS

    Sunday – Chicken Dinner - roasties, mash, cabbage, carrots, bread sauce & gravy

    Monday – Lasagne or Shepherd’s Pie (co-op ready meals), with baked spuds & beans

    Tuesday – Arroz con Pollo (Chicken & Rice) from Gastronomy Economy cookbook

    Wednesday – Fish, chippy chips & mushy peas

    Thursday – Salmon & Broccoli pasta bake

    Friday – HM soup (not sure what yet - will see what needs using up) & pizza

    Have a good week all x

    CCP - that sounds really nice, any chance of the recipe?

    As is so often the case with me, there isn't a recipe - I got two packs of boursin on special offer a few weeks ago and I'm trying to think of ways to use it before it goes off. :rolleyes:

    What I'm planning on doing is cooking the turkey and bacon together, then making a quick white sauce (sprinkle flour over the meat, then add milk until it turns into a sauce), then just adding chunks of boursin until it reaches the right flavour/consistency. I've got some puff pastry in the freezer to do the lid. Simples! (I hope! :))
    Back after a very long break!

    Understand - thanks, CCP! Let me know how it turns out, and I'll do a variation on that theme. I also have a pack of Boursin in the fridge that DH bought a while ago and then never touched it. My Mum used to mix Boursin with cream to make a sauce - delicious, especially with fondue (or just crisps), but soooooo fattening! I sometimes mix some of it with mushrooms and stuff it into a trout. But that doesn't get rid of a whole pack.
