    Hi Mrs M :) Could you maybe double up your lasagne on monday and heat that up on Wednesday? Or maybe just twice the amount of the tomato sauce so you can just cook some pasta on Wednesday and heat up the sauce?

    Sorry, don't have a recipe - someone gave us some ready made up jerk rub. But the label says it has dried onion, salt, dried garlic, allspice, bay leaves, coriander, thyme, dried chillies, black pepper, roasted cumin and coriander seed - phew!

    Hi all, here's my mealplan for the coming week:

    Sun: Roast Chicken, roast potatoes, carrots and broccoli, with stuffing balls (making double quantity of stuffing balls to freeze a few for Christmas dinner)
    Mon: Soup with croutons and bread rolls
    Tues: Pastitsio
    Weds: Not sure
    Thurs: Shepherd's Pie
    Fri: Black bean chicken with noodles (might switch to turkey depending on offers)
    Sat: Jacket Potatoes with Melee Beans.

    Lunches will be sandwiches or leftovers, and breakfasts will be cereal. We have fruit in for snacks, although I shall try and do some baking at some point this week for some yummy cakes as a treat. The next couple of weeks are going to be very stressful so I shall need the quick meals.
