    Thanks for getting us started, Kadeeae.

    I've generally been pretty good at sticking to my mealplans for the past few weeks, so hopefully I can keep it going this week. (OK, I abandoned my mealplan entirely tonight and had chilli pasta bake instead, but apart from that I've been very good! :o)

    This week I've got:

    Friday - Indian "fakeout" - chicken curry (bought, but RTC), naan bread (possibly HM, possibly bought - I haven't decided yet) and onion bhajis (definitely bought, although I keep intending to try making my own)
    Saturday - I'm probably going out, but there's plenty of stuff in the freezer if I change my mind
    Sunday - prawn satay skewers, naan bread and salad
    Monday - BBQ chicken lasagne
    Tuesday - Portuguese braised steak and onions, mash and a green veg of some sort
    Wednesday - LO gardener's pie (in the freezer from a couple of weeks ago) with sliced ham
    Thursday - ham and mushroom pizza

    I'm also intending to try making a banoffee pie this weekend, as the bananas supplied by my veg box company are too ripe for me to want to eat them as they are. smiley-dance001.gif (Sorry, it's been a long day today!)
    Back after a very long break!
