Saturday: fingerfood picnic in front of Dr Who. There will be tempura prawns (bought), taramasalata & pita bread (also some other veg for dipping), hm filo pastries, some with lamb mince & pine nuts and some with spinach & ricotta. Blueberry pie (not HM) & icecream after.
Sunday: the rest of the lamb mince from Saturday turned into a moroccan cottage pie, with roast carrots in honey; veg burger for DD
Monday: fish pie (white fish and prawns) with a filo topping, sweetcorn & peas
Tuesday: spicy italian sausage risotto (a non-meat version for DD) and salad
Wednesday: OH cooking. Probably lentil, ham & vegetable soup and toast

Such a good idea - I really need to stick to it this week:
Tonight has been pasta and jar of sauce from cupboard
Tomorrow - Sausages & Mash (OOps turned out to be hot dogs - the neighbours BBQ smell was hard to resist!)
Monday - Egg & chips (home made) Turned out to be OOPs'd pie from Tesco & veg.
Tuesday - Lasagne - Turned out to be beef stew & rice
Wednesday - Beef stew from freezer - will be salmon & veg
Thursday - Salmon & veg - Egg & Chips is whats left!!!
Friday - some sort of veg curry with whatever I have left in the freezer! Will be Lasagne

Fri: Salmon with a layer of ricotta cheese, spinach and breadcrumbs, salad and new potatoes

Freakyogre The trick with using prawns in a stir fry is to add them last and only cook for a couple of minutes or they will be tough x

Oooh, that sounds delicious. Will have to steal that idea for another time.


Thanks for the advice about the prawns

Hi everyone :wave:

This thread has really helped me focus on what I need to get out of the freezer when and see what I really need when I go shopping.

Am currently putting together an online shop and although it's about £40 a month more than I used to spend on the big shop it includes a lot more meat/fish to freeze, a box of wine to last the month and stuff for lunches. So much cheaper than it used to be!! :T

This week I'm going for something like this:

• Monday - Chicken & prawn curry
• Tuesday - Baked potatoes and something
• Wednesday - At a friend's
• Thursday - Lamb steaks with potatoes and veg from the freezer (and hopefully OH's onion gravy)
• Friday - HM cottage pie and veg
• Saturday - ?
• Sunday - A roast of some description
  

Lunches are either leftovers or a pearl barley risotto that I'm going to make now.

Breakfasts are either cereal or the weetabix loaf I made

Catch up during the week
