I know I say this every week, but is it really time for another week's mealplan? :eek: Where is this year vanishing to?

My meal plan for last week went totally out of the window, so I really must do better this week. I've got:

Friday - steak pie and veg (it's a ready made pie, which I wouldn't usually do, but I won't have long between getting home from work and going out for a charity event; I'm figuring that RM pie is better than nothing and giving in to a takeaway later on )
Saturday - sausage and pork 'cassoulet' (in inverted commas because it's nothing a French person would recognise as cassoulet - it's rather good, though )
Sunday - sausage and veg casserole with HM focaccia
Monday - lunch - LO casserole and focaccia; dinner - steak and ale stew with dumplings and veg
Tuesday - lunch - LO stew with focaccia; dinner - HM cheese and onion quiche with baked beans
Wednesday - lunch - quiche and HM soup; dinner - pasta with king prawns, chorizo and cherry tomatoes
Thursday - lunch - quiche and soup; dinner - chorizo, squash and bean stew

(I've included lunches as I'm rather impressed with myself that I've been organised enough to plan them!)

Hmm, I've just noticed it's all a bit heavy on the red meat this week - I must balance that out next week. :think:

Have a nice week, all.

Okay, so this week we have a few items in the freezer we are 'not sure' about... so I have 1 week to defrost and 'hopefully' cook something with them!!!

Everything else in the freezer has been carefully labled (so I actually know what it is) and is now monitored on a spreadsheet!!!

Friday - Freezer 'Pork' Pot Luck (Rice, Beansprouts, Pork and Hoisin and Garlic Sauce) This one worked
Saturday - Freezer 'Chicken Breast' Pot Luck (Thinking Chicken Kebabs!) So did this one! Yay!
Sunday - Spanish Rice w/ Prawns (Have friends over)
Monday - Freezer 'Beef Steak' Pot Luck (Thinking steak and Cauliflower Cheese) This did NOT work! Yuk!
Tuesday - HM Tuna and Onion Pizza w/ HM Wedges (Fish Night, no pot luck)
Wednesday - Freezer 'Sausages' Pot Luck (Thinking Spicy sausage pasta) This worked very well
Thursday - Leftover Sausage Sauce with Mash (I have 12 Sausages!!!!!!)
Friday - Freezer 'Turkey Steaks' Pot Luck (Scnitzel sounds nice) This got bumped for a HM Chicken and Brocoli Pie Lurking in the depths of the Freezer!!

I also batch cooked some chilli for my Husband with Freezer 'Mince Meat' Pot luck! Made 8 Portions and Froze

This weekend I am making a double batch of Twinks hobnobs (140) and freezing most of the raw ingredient. Made 100 only! They are rather large though
I am making 40 Scones and butter and jamming them for lunches. Made 52!!!
I am making 48 Rock Cakes and freezing them for lunches. Done!!
I am making 24 mince pies (12 for a gift). 18 left... Yummy!!

So that'll be biscuits enough for 4-6 weeks and scones and rock cakes for lunches until the Christmas holiday!

Oh and some leftover for work

Obviously I am hoping this meat will defrost and look and smell okay!!!

otherwise is Freezer Soups!!! Wish me luck!!

Sat - Poss steak sandwich, with fajita mushrooms.
Sun - Chicken and bacon pie with potatoes and veg.
Mon - Sub Roll Pizza
Tues - Pass
Weds - Pass

When I get more of an update, I'll fill it in, but I've got lots of things in the freezer so it shouldn't be too hard to put together when I know what we're doing.
