Penny-Pincher!!

Hi Guys!

It's been a while since I started this thread, but wanted to say "hi!" and I'm still here:D

Where is this year going?

Anyway, I need to sort our mealplans out as I've been very ill again and back and forth from hospital, so they have gone out the window a lot:o

This week we are having:

Mon-BBQ (weather permitting)-burgers/salad/couscous/eggs etc
Tue-Shepherds Pie, Carrots & Peas
Wed-Chops, Spuds, Carrots & Peas/Sweetcorn
Thur-Quiche, New Pots & Salad
Fri-Chicken, Roasts, Cabbage & Carrots
Sat-Steak, Colcannon, Corn On Cob & French Beans

OH & DD have started going to church on a Sunday and it has a funny timing, so roasts are a little difficult.

Hope everyong has a good week.

Take Care.

Thanks very much for starting us off, PP! I hope you feel much better soon.

I was a bit better at sticking to my mealplan last week, with only a couple of minor changes. Let's hope it goes as well this week.

I've got:

Friday - chorizo and manchego ravioli with cherry tomato sauce and salad
Saturday - courgette and bacon lasagne
Sunday - lemon pepper roast chicken, potato salad, Moroccan carrot salad (or warm boiled tatos and glazed carrots if it turns out too chilly for salad)
Monday - chicken and bacon club sandwich, possibly chips (if I'm feeling naughty! ), and salad
Tuesday - out for the day with my mum - I'll probably try and find a voucher for us to use for dinner :money:
Wednesday - pepper !!!!aladiere and salad
Thursday - bean burger (HM, found lurking in the back of the freezer ) in a bun with tomatoes in some form

Desserts will be stewed pears as, just as I was getting to the end of the pear mountain, I've received some more. I'm going to end up looking like a pear soon...

ETA - oops, I'd forgotten the forum thing about letter combinations - the !!!! above should be a p, an i, an s, and another s. I'm not swearing, honest - it's just the name for a French onion and anchovy tart!

PP - I'm dreadfully sorry to hear you haven't been well over the past weeks. I really hope things are perking up for you x

Next week we are having:

Breakfasts
HM muesli, porridge or toast with orange juice and a banana

Snack am: fruit

Lunches
- Sandwiches/crackers/HM wraps with avocado, peanut butter, jam, yeast extract, chutneys, pickle, salad stuff
- HM scones
- Cheez on toast
- leftovers
All usually with side salad

Snack pm: Cracker with peanut butter/nuts, carrot. Might make a tea loaf too.

Dinners
Sat: Butternut and Sweet Potato Roast with salad (OH - with fish from freezer, and girls will have the veg mixed with a plain risotto)
Sun: Sausage, veg and pots. Swedish Glace.
(Tea) Bread and butter, crisps, fruit plate, biscuits.
Mon: Roasted Sweet Potato, Corn and Avocado Salad with Steamed Greens
Tue: Cabbage and Sweet Potato Bhaji with brown rice and avocado salad
Wed: Broccoli, Potato and Mustard Bake with sweet pepper salad (baked beans for OH and girls too)
Thu: Cashew/Peanut stir fry and rice
Fri: Ratatouille with avocado salad and bread

Although the girls usually have the same at teatime as OH and I for dinner, on a couple of days they will probably have beans on toast with greens, pasta with tom sauce, or LM sausage rolls with chips and veg depending on how we all feel instead
Puds will be fruit or a cheeky square or two of choccy.

Supper for girls is porridge or toast (dependant on breaky), popcorn for our late night nibbles

Sun: Chicken in Chicken Tonight-ey type sauce with mash, broccoli and carrot for lunch, dinner currently planned as spaghetti and meatballs.
Mon: Lunch is a sandwich (not bought), dinner to be further chicken in some sauce left from Sunday's lunch, with rice and broccoli, Might bake something since no work...
Tues: Leftover chicken & rice in sauce for lunch, spag bol out the freezer stock for dinner
Wed: Sandwich for lunch, sausage, mash and sweetcorn for dinner.
Thurs: Sandwich for lunch, to be eaten on train as I'm off to see family for a few days. So the rest is unknown until Monday dinner!
