I am aiming to test everything, although as it turns out, it might not exactly be at all the right times and in all the right order - today's breakfast already is down the virtual pan due to circumstances, and not at all sure about the lunch as yet.
However, at the moment am still confident that dinner will happen as planned, so fingers crossed for CFR toad
As I said on the other thread, we will follow the Xmas week tweaking recipes where we have to accomodate veggie requirement. We are two adults (one male, one female) and two young girls (currently ill with chicken pox! :O so all the soup and fave foods like sausage and hummus should go down well.) This is how our adapted plan looks so far:
23rd Dec
B: Waffles + cinnamon syrup
L: French onion soup (also making tomato swirls at DD's request but they do use Shirley ingredients)
24th Dec
B: Fruity pancakes
L: Tomato hummus on toast
Xmas Day
B: French toast and veg sausage
L: Mushroom soup. Cashew and Cranberry nutroast from planner with roast potatoes, carrots, sprouts, fruity gravy and stuffing (no york pud). Xmas pud (will try without egg) with white sauce
Boxing Day
B: Waffles and cinnamon syrup
L: Tomato hummus on toast
27th Dec
B: Fruity pancakes
L: Avocado and Marie Rose sandwiches instead of egg mayo
28th Dec
B: Waffles and cinnamon syrup
L: Veg soup
29th Dec
B: Fruity pancakes
L: French onion soup
For the snacks, I will see if I can include dates and brazils - ETA and peanuts
Good luck with the testing everyone!

Hi Weezl
Onion soup is reducing nicely and tastes yummy so far (I used 3 tbsp yeast extract instead of a stock cube) and I even dunked a tomato swirl in the pan (:o) which was delish...
