It can't really be Thursday again already, can it? :huh:

I'm doing storecupboard challenge at the moment so I've got some slightly odd concoctions this week:

Friday - tinned mackerel, sweetcorn and onion pizza with salad
Saturday - pork chop in honey-chilli marinade (a freebie I got weeks ago and haven't got round to using), with sweetcorn fritters and roast butternut squash
Sunday - ham and lentil soup with HM bread (possibly cheese and onion as I've got a load of cheese at the moment)
Monday - king prawn and veg stirfry with egg fried rice and mini spring rolls
Tuesday - spicy veg and peanut butter stew with naan bread
Wednesday - pasta with spicy sausage and tomato sauce
Thursday - salmon en croute with glazed carrots and HM chips

I might try and make a cake / pudding at some point - probably blackberry or damson-based to use up some of the fruit in the freezer. I'll have to go and hunt out some recipes...

There's a recipe like this in this month's delicious magazine - is that the one your were thinking of? Either way, I'd be very interested to know what pearl barley is like in a risotto - I've only ever had it in stews and would love to know there's another good use for the stuff.

I have saved a FORTUNE by following your examples and mealplanning! Shopping takes half the time and I actually come home with stuff to make 6/7 main meals, lunches, breakfast and snacks instead of a full trolley of 'nothing to make a meal!'

1 adult, 2 little ones

OK, this weeks plan (Fri - Fri) goes like this but is always subject to change

Friday - Gammon, new pots, peas and hm parsley sauce
Sat - Out with friends
Sun - Smoked mackerel with new pots and lots of veggies
Mon - HM Burgers
Tues - Spag bol with LO mince bulked out with oats and lentils
Wed - Carbonara (with LO gammon)
Thurs - fish fingers, chips, beans and peas

Breakfast will be toast/cereal/omelette
Lunches will be rice cakes with cheese/sandwiches with LO gammon/hm smoked mackerel pate/hm soup from freezer
Snacks will be fruit and whatever I bake this week - got 2 nearly black bananas so guess what I am making
Puds will be (for kids not me) icecream/fruit/angel delight/yoghurt



My shopping list for the whole of this week will be
Gammon
new pots
baked beans
carrots
onions
mackerel
value cream cheese
fruit
brocolli
oxo
tom puree
parsley
milk
cheese

Everything else is here in freezer or cupboards so I can buy extras for the storecupboard for when we get snowed in :eek: (oh and some yummy hot choc as i promised the little ones that they can have hot choc before school on chilly days )

mum2b

only 1/2 planned so far

Still trying to use up as much store cupboard and freezer items to keep the grocery shop low.

Mon: Tuna pasta bake
Tues: Fish pie w/ peas and broccoli
Weds: Freezer surprise
Thurs: Quorn Chili & rice
Fri: HM Burgers & chips
Sat: Borowors, mash and onion gravy
Sun: Roast chicken dinner and trimmings

The only thing to add to shopping list is some Quorn mince and possibly some smoked salmon scraps to round out the fish pie.

Has anyone seen any frozen Quorn mince deals anywhere at the mo?
