Penny-Pincher!!

These are the next 7 meals for us:

Roast Chicken, roasties, new pots, yorkies, green beans, cauli, carrots
Chicken Muck Muck & Rice (leftover chicken)
Toad In Hole, Mash, green beans and carrots
Shepards Pie, peas and cabbage
Lamb Chops, New pots, cabbage and carrots
HM Fish Pie
Egg and chips

I have all the food items in, but may need a few spuds and veg. Do have some frozen veg which need using but only like really in stews as they are too soft and mushy.

This was a really good idea and really worked for us last week.

Monday : Chicken and pasta with a tomato sauce and salad
Tuesday : Freyaluck's smoked haddock, ricotta and spinach pie (really looking forwards to trying this!)
Wednesday: Chilli and rice
Thursday: Cod (turkey for oh) with avocado salsa and new potatoes
Friday: Chicken curry
Saturday : Steak and chips with salad and some sort of sauce.
Sunday: Roast Chook with trimmings.

Going to make a big batch of my mum's tomato soup for mine and dd's lunches. Ds has packed lunches and oh refuses to deviate from Pret a Manger for his lunch :mad:

I have all the meat in the freezer and the storecupbord ingredients, just need to buy a few fruit and veggies.

Have a good week and I am looking forwards to reading other recipes for inspiration next week:)
