    As have had parents saying with me haven't done much menu planning as we've eaten from the freezer or mum bought bits and pieces.

    Wedneaday- BLT sandwich, pork with mushroom and mustard sauce
    Thursday - pasta salad, pea and chicken risotto
    Friday - pasta salad, salad nicoise

    Still lots of soup in freezer, chili, aubergine bake, a couple of steaks and salmon tarts.
    Need some cheese to add on top of chilii as tastes a bit bland. Can also use it for cheese on toast or quesdillas

    Hi all

    thought Id join as money is tight and I relaly need to get my food plan act together. Have decided to set a rule of certain things on certain nights but they can vary it if they fancy. The first meal is for my boys and the second for their father as they eat at different times - boys tend to eat at 4pm when in from school and boyfriend eats about 7 after hes home from work

    So it looks somewhat like this so far

    THURS Ham, peas and chips
    Gammon, oven chips, pineapple and peas.

    FRI Cottage pie

    SAT Fish Fingers, spaghetti, Mash
    Fish portion, Mash and
    veg

    SUN Sausages, Mash, Vegetables

    MON Cheesy pasta
    Pasta in sauce

    TUES New pototes, veg + chicken burger
    Chicken Casserole

    WED Beans on toast
    Omelette with cheese/ham filling

    THURS Dinosaur shapes, mixed vegetables
    Lasagne with cooked vegetables


    Most of them I'm hoping can be plated up fro boyfriend and reheated but boyfriend has put a strict no junk food diet down fro himself as he is in the process of getting fit and is in the gym 6 days a week now so no puddings for him but my boy will be having fruit/jelly/yoghurt for his.
    Time to find me again
