    I can not believe how easy meal planning made my life last weeek. I am a convert!
    This week will be as follows:

    A good start to the week ahead, made an extra hm pizza yesterday which can be used for school/nursery lunches. I used to throw the extra dough away, but there was enough to make another pizza.

    Today (Sunday)
    A huge joint of Roast Pork (been in the freezer for months) onion gravy and steamed brussels/potatoes/carrots and peas
    Monday
    Pork (leftovers) stirfry with veg and noodles
    Tuesday
    Pork (leftovers) biryani
    Wednesday
    Roast chicken, brocolli cheese and jacket potatoes
    Thursday
    Spag bol (possibly, I *think* it is a pot of bolognase sauce in the freezer but could be wrong!!!!)
    Friday
    Chicken (leftover from Wednesday) in a carbonara sauce with spaghetti and garlic bread

    Saturday lunch will be Chicken soup made with the bones and leftover veg and hm bread

    Have a great week everyone!

    Hello, this is what I'm planning to have (but I also have a question for you guys!)

    Monday - bubble and squeak leftover from sunday roast chicken
    Tuesday - Chicken and sweetcorn risotto (with stock made from roast and a bit of leftover chicken)
    Wednesday - Chicken curry (from leftover chicken)
    Thursday - hm pizza
    Friday Scampi and Chips
    Saturday out for tea.

    My question is, I would normally use up leftover chicken the day after my roast; I'm trying to extend it this week, do you think the chicken will be ok on Wed? Its been kept in a plastic tub in the fridge?

    Thanks
