Hey Peeps!

Where does the time go? I'm with PP - I can't believe it's been another week already!

Last week I posted plans for 9/10 days but inevitably things change, so here is my amended plan for this week:-

Sunday - boiled eggs and soldiers/roast belly of pork with stuffing, roast tatties, carrots and brocolli

Monday - mushroom soup (from freezer) and bread/butternut squash risotto

Tuesday - felafels (from freezer), creme fraiche and salad/smoked salmon fillets, spinach and salad

Wednesday - cous cous and extra salad chopped in/pumpkin stew

Thursday - leftover sausage casserole/tuna pasta bake

Friday - thai chicken noodle soup (from freezer) and bread/cottage pie & veg

Saturday - bacon rolls/chicken and polenta

Sunday - scrambled or poached eggs on toast/pasta and pesto

Monday - pasta salad (with pasta made night before)/3 bean chilli and wraps

Breakfasts are cornflakes, museli, Oatsosimple and I'll be having fruit as snacks.

Just need to get some beans, wraps, deli ham and fresh rolls on Saturday and that's it! Then we're skint 'til Thursday so it'll be a leftovers-from-freezer-few-days!

Enjoy your meals folks!

This week is a good week! I managed to not go shopping Friday and delay it to today - every extra day helps avoid use the cards!

Here is my menu plan for the week:

MON - Salmon & cous cous (need salmon)
TUE - Pasta, red pesto, olives, sun dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese (have in)
WED - Going out for dinner
THU - Tuna pasta bake (have in)
FRI - Sausages & mash with caramelised red onion & red wine gravy (have sausages in)
SAT - Marinated garlic pork fillets with cous cous and sweet potato (have pork & cous cous in)
SUN - Yellow chicken curry with rice (just need chicken)

So I need - spuds for mash, red onions, sweet potato, salmon and chicken (will only get chicken next saturday).

Apart from milk and some sweetcorn, should be able to spend less than £10 today! :T

Delicious magazine has good meal plans in it, I am using the December one this week and it is easy stuff to cook too

spinach and gremolata pasta
Chicken curry
Sausage and bean casserole
Cheesy topped fish and potato wedges
Pasta bake

only 5 days I know but Saturday is the start of my new week anyway for shopping, and little sis is visiting on Sat. so I think we will do HM pizzas.

Using the chicken and veggie leftovers make:
Tue Chicken Tacos ( friend coming and bringing wine)

Wed Chicken and Mushroom Pie

Thurs Beans on Toast

Fri Homemade pizza - chicken and capers ( friend coming and bringing wine)

Sat a friend taking me out for supper (and paying )

I have never posted my menu before, but DH and I have been planning our menus for years; we both got back from work around 7pm so if there was no meal planned we reverted to take away which is bad for waistline and wallet line! Here is our menu for this week:
MON - chorizo and bean casserole (from the freezer as we made a huge amount of it last week.
TUES - lentil dhal with rice (cheap and tasty)
WEDS - Thai style soup (chicken stock, lemon grass, ginger, chicken and what ever else is in the fridge!)
THURS - bean chilli = have lots of tins of beans in the cupboard to use up. will make extra so have some to freeze for another day
FRI - Italian beef stew with pasta; we have friends coming round for dinner
SAT - chicken with an almond sauce (chicken breasts, butter and almonds)
SUN - not sure yet!
