    This week is a bit odd as I'm makin tea for me my mum and sis at mums as my dad is away and my mum has just had an op. Hubby is workin to 10.30pm all week so makes more sense for me to have t with them. However my sister is really fussy abt veg and only eats mushrooms tinned peas and sweetcorn cauliflower and brocolli. I have tried to feed her others but it doesn't work...she's 20!

    Boyfriend's picked cottage pie for tea Saturday. This is good for me too, as it means I need to buy less things, just some potatoes to get!

  • Hi all

    I am due to goto Aldi tonight for my week's shopping but I am all out of inspiration!
    I need food for about 7 days and need at least 4 meals that are quick and easy to cook after work. Getting a bit bored of chilli and spag bol!
    I have pretty good basics in so just need some inspiration!
    Any advice? :o

    No idea, without some suggestions as to what you do and don;t like to eat ;)

    How about I add this to this week's menu plan thread and you can have a browse at that :)

    I see your point :rotfl:

    Its only my hubby and myself, we eat pretty much anything but hubby loves his meat and has a huge appetite so feeding him can be a mission!

    Mushrooms and tomatos are the only things we dont eat but we can usually manage a tomato sauce in pasta etc.
