    In the Herby household this coming week we'll be eating the meals below. I'm hoping to use up what we have in. Breakfasts will be fruit & yogurt or cereal. Lunches are sandwiches or HM soup, or something on toast. Cutting down on puds for the next six weeks to try and lose some weight before we go away, but I may do a rhubarb crumble with the oat & wholemeal flour topping I batch made a froze a few weeks ago for a treat for DH on Sunday. Served with some vanilla soya yogurt it's very yummy.

    Mon[STRIKE]Sweet Chilli Chicken & Noodles[/STRIKE] [FONT=&quot]Curried Pork Patties, Sweet Potato Wedges & Curry Dip (Thanks to Mrs Mc for the recipe).

    [/FONT]

    Tue - Beef Curry, Bulgar Wheat & Cucumber & Onion Relish
    Wed – Quorn Bolognese, Wholemeal Pasta & Salad
    Thu - Herb Crumbed Cod, Wedges & Garlicky Mushy Peas
    Fri
    – Chilli (from Freezer) & Bulgar Wheat
    Sat – Sweet n Sour Pork Balls, Fried Rice & Prawn Crackers
    Sun - Sausage, Mash, Spring Cabbage, Carrots, Red Wine & Onion Gravy

    Norman, we're going to Normandy for our hols and I fancy trying some French food before we go away, could you share your Normandy Pork recipe pretty please? TIA!

    Afternoon All!

    This is my very first post, so Hi everyone! I have been watching from afar for about 6 weeks since I moved in to my new house. Anyway, I have found all this meal planning lark really Interesting so have been meal planning for about the last 4 weeks.
    It has amazed me how much money I have saved in such a short space of time just by planning food and using up all the left overs.
    My Meal plan for next week is...

    Mon - Spaghetti Bolognaise and Garlic Bread
    Tues - Tomato Sausage in thick Gravy with onions and Toms and Staffordshire Oatcakes
    Wed - Turkey Curry and Rice. HM Raita
    Thur - Spaghetti and Meatballs ( made with the leftover mince)
    Fri - Spanish Sausage and Noodles (Using up the last of the Sausages)
    Sat - Gammon Joint, Mash and Carrots, Cauliflower and Broccoli
    Sun - Left over Gammon, Chopped Salad ( Mint sauce, Shredded Lettuce, Diced onion, Sugar and Vinegar) New potatoes and Peas

    Puddings are normally jelly topped with angel delight or Ice cream
