Here's the link to Weezl's Christmas week planner. You can see the rest of her meal plans by following the links. I don't think the festive one is available to click to from the home page yet so you might like to bookmark it.

aha, beaten to it. You are quite right MrsB, as the christmas week one is still a work in progress, it is not available from the published site yet

lovely recipes as usual, I am thoroughly enjoying helping out with the testing, and have added several more dishes to my meal planning list

had a crap day today and have happily swapped a meal from next week for a bottle of cider!

Seriosuly!! only 6 more months till i can start job hunting! I don't get paid enough for what i do!

to be fair, we probably won't have to go without, i'll just have to make the chicken go further! Decided on risotto for monday, so could do a stirfry or something another day too.

I defiantely deserve my cider.

You enjoy your cider hunni!

I don't buy alcohol anymore, to save money and the other day I thought, sod it, I am going to have a bottle of wine, I have gone without for months.

must admit i am loving it, i used to drink every night (terrible i know, but like 1 or 2 glasses of wine ) then i stopped week night drinking, and was about to swtich to not even drinking on weekends, but today happened and i needed a relese! but we had potato bake (made with 2 small potatos instead of far too many) and oh had chicken and i saved the other 2 breasts for later in the week...

I think homemade pizza may fast become a saturday regular, it's rare that OH and I will be in the kitchen together, we don't work well as a team normally when it comes to cooking! But we've had lots of fun just now making the dough, OH got some mince and added some lime juice (limes needed using) chilli pepper, garlic and bits and bobs, we're going to fry it off for some topping, and I've defrosted the cocktail sauasges which are also going on the pizzas! lots of fun, just leaving the dough to rise.

Chicken is defrosting for tomorrow's dinner too, i love a roast on sundays!

I just filled an online basket ready for when i can do a food shop and stocked it with store cupboard and base ingredients and looks like next month will be a fairly low budget month too!

That's good Bramble, enjoy the result! I love homemade pizza.

The pizza was amazing!! (the fact that it's not even 5pm and we've eaten dinner already says it all really!)

We have enough dough for 2 pizza left over, so i think i'll try my hand at some calzones for lunch for monday.

Got loads of ideas from this thread. Hope the OP is doing ok.
