Aargh! Does anyone else change their mind about 6 times about their meal plan?
After a trip to waitrose today where I picked up 2 gammon joints and 2 bacon joints (free range) for not very much our plan for the week now looks a little like this

Mo 1st chorizo and kale carbonara
Tu 2nd bacon and cabbage, mashed spuds, parsley sauce
We 3rd bacon, leek and mushroom pasta bake
Th 4th Chilli and rice, with sour cream and cheese
Fr 5th haddock mornay, riced potatoes, peas
Sa 6th sausages &mash, onion gravy, greens (possibly a friend visiting so this might change)
Su 7th roast pork &trimmings (as above-but I reckon I can feed an extra mouth with these same meals anyway)


I have one of the gammon joints in the slow cooker as we speak for sandwiches in the week, and a loaf of spelt and granary bread in the bread maker. All I have to do now is get up early enough to make the sandwiches

Ooh recipe please?

[FONT=&quot]Sure hun! This is thanks to MrsMcw

Shredded cabbage (red or white)
Shredded Carrots
Shredded Onion (add how much you want-I like quite alot)

Then add a small amount of mayo at a time until its all thinly coated (this will depend on how much you have shredded)...then I add a couple of small squirts of salad cream. Add salt & pepper....Voila!

The combi of the mayo and salad cream is perfect and gives sweet, creamy and tangy IYSWIM.

If you make too much, I have eaten the next day keeping in the fridge.

For the 3 of us, I do 1 carrot, third of cabbage and whole onion.

This is exactly as Pen Pin gave the recipe to me and it's gorgeous :T I never mind making too much as I'll eat it on it's own or with a few peanuts scattered in it

I have a jar of Jamaican jerk seasoning that is made by Dunns River that I rub on the chicken, in a pan (my slow cooker is by Morphy Richards and has a stainless steel pan on a base which is much better than the traditional ones as you can use the pan on the hob) I fry an onion, red pepper and some garlic and fresh chilli and then add the chicken to brown before adding a small amount of stock and putting on the slow cooker.

For the rice (cheats version) I sweat a little chopped onion and chilli in a large pan, add a can of gungo peas and basmati rice and then add salt and pepper and water to cover and steam unti soft. At the end I stir through some creamed coconut. If you make it yourself you use pigeon or black peas and cook them off first and then add the rice to them but they do take quite a long time to cook.
