    Thanks for starting us off, PP.

    I wasn't planning on doing a meal plan this week as I'll be out quite a lot, but I've come to rather appreciate being able to look on the internet to find out what's for dinner when I've forgotten. :o

    This week I've got:

    Friday - salmon en croute (bought RTC) with HM potato croquettes and some sort of green veg
    Saturday - parma ham, smoked mozarella and tomato pizza
    Sunday - meatballs in roast HG tomato sauce with pasta
    Monday - keema and potato curry
    Tuesday - chilli burger for lunch;
    sandwich or something in the evening on my way up to south London
    Wednesday - out all day
    Thursday - might have a big lunch on my way home; if not, cheese and onion crispbakes with whatever veg is in my veg box

    I'll be baking some sort of cake with plums in over the weekend as I got a huge box of them in today's veg box and I'm not keen on raw plums.

    Have a nice week, all. :)
    Back after a very long break!

    Children don't go back till Wednesday and will be at home with OH on Monday and Tuesday as I have meetings I can't avoid and holiday club has finished. He may well be cooking those nights, so the plan is likely to change.

    Sun: meatballs in tomato sauce, spaghetti
    Mon: home made salmon fishcakes (in freezer), vegetables or coleslaw
    Tues: macaroni cheese
    Wed: lamb and chickpea curry with rice, fish fingers for children
