  • Wow, around to that time of the week again already! Luckily it's a day off for me today, so I've had time to work out what we're having. :) Here goes:

    Mon: Bolognese Toasties
    Tues: Chicken Rogan Josh with rice and extra veggies
    Weds: Omelettes
    Thurs: Lasagne with salad and garlic bread
    Fri: At Mum's
    Sat: Lamb Kofte Kebabs with salad (Or Moussaka, depending on what DH fancies)
    Sun: Homemade Pizza with fridgely toppings

    Breakfasts will be cereal or flapjacks, and lunches will be the usual sandwiches, fruit and a cake bar or something. I'm hoping now that January is nearly out of the way I can concentrate on the frugal year ahead. :)

    Have a good week, everyone, and I love reading your mealplans. Thanks!

    That's the worst thing about this thread, isn't it? Everything sounds so tasty!

    Talking of which, can I ask for the recipe for your butternut squash and polenta bake, please? I'm very partial to both of those and a recipe with both sounds ideal to me!

    Thank you!
    Back after a very long break!

    Mon Omlette & Wedges
    Tue Macaroni Cheese
    Wed Veg Chillie & rice
