    Monday: Pie, chips and peas (freezer diving)

    Hello everyone

    I've really got out of the way of mealplanning and I tell you, it stopped the fuss and drama each night over "what is there" or "don't fancy it".

    As I have absolutely no inspiration I take it all from you so we've done a pick and mix and chosen post numbers to have that person's dish for that night so here goes.

    Mon - Chilli and Rice - Freaky Ogre
    Tues - Pork Steaks, potatoes, veg - JC2703
    Wed - Burgers & Salad - Guccigoo
    Thurs - Meatballs and spaghetti - Sunny Girl
    Friday - Blimus Oreilly tbc - no pressure but what are we having?
    Sat - Own choice as it's Dr Who picnic night (weeping angels eeek)
    Sun- Chicken, stuffing, veg - Empty Pockets

    Right, now that I've sorted that I just have to get the delivery arrangements for you all to send to me:rotfl:

    hugelaugh.gif I love it! I do exactly the same thing and it proves that the thread works for us all to take inspiration from :T Now just need your address ........................

    This sounds yummy HShungry.gif Any chance of the recipe please and do you think it'd work with chicken or pork as we're not big prawn lovers. DH & I like them cold in a salad or cocktail but not hot for some bizarre reason :D

    Hi Sunnygirl,

    Got the idea for prawn kebabs from here - it would be gorgeous with chicken too! Thought it would be nice and summery to go with the weather. Just having them with pasta in HM tomato sauce I found in freezer; tinned toms, garlic, basil, etc

    Katy Thanks for that I have bookmarked the page. It does sound easy I agree. I'll probably try them with a rice dish & salad later in May. Thanks again!

    Tu-Fri-as above, but hey-you never know! I may just change my mind-does anyone else change everything that much?:rotfl:

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Totaly fell of the wagon the last 2 weeks. Going to aim a bit lower this week and just list meals without days attached, maybe that will get me over the mental block...

    For the two of us -
    Vegetarian Goulash (makes one dinner plus two lunches)
    Vegetarian bolganese pasta bake (makes two dinners)
    Moroccan spiced veggie mince cous cous (new for me, no idea how much it will make!)
    mushroom rissotto (one dinner)
    Leek and potato soup (one dinner or several lunches)
    Possibly curried lentil, veg and noodle soup (lunches, its a house special in these parts!)

    Cant really spend anything between now and the end of the month so we'll need to stick to it!
    Mortgage free by 30:eek:: £28,000/£100,000
    :DDebt free as of 1 October, 2010:D
