Sorry, just had to say that! I hadn't seen that warning, so thanks very much for the tip-off - I'll have to add a few bits to my shopping list just in case the forecast's right. :T

Hi, I'm new to meal planning but have been reading about it over the last 2 or 3 weeks with interest and have decided to give it a go. I'm very lucky to have a Co-op close to where I work which often has some great reductions, so I tend to base meals around whatever bargains I've been able to pick up. Not sure how well I'll fare as I'm not that keen on meat & only eat it occasionally, but OH is a meataholic. Anyway, eyes down & here we go.............

Monday - Chilli from slow cooker plus roasted veg & rice

Tuesday - Chilli again with jacket spuds & HM guacamole (if advocado is ripe enough)

Wednesday - Sausages (reduced from aforementioned bargain hunting & waiting in freezer), veggie sausages for me, mash, broccoli, cauli, sprouts & carrots, gravy

Thursday - HM fish pie from freezer, mash, sprouts, cauli, etc

Friday - Roasted F/R chicken, roast spuds, stuffing, cheesy leeks, whatever veg I have left from week, gravy, HM treacle tart

Saturday - lunch - eggy bread sandwiches
- dinner - chicken, aubergine & lentil curry, bhajis, HM saag paneer

Sunday - lunch - chicken soup
- dinner - Roast pork, HM apple sauce (from freezer), crackling for OH & Collie dog, roasties, yorkies, stuffing, whatever veg I've got in but definitely mashed swede, gravy HM apple pie & custard.

My notebook & pen are poised to jot down the bits I need to get. I can't believe how organised I feel already. Will be back at some point with a progress report.

Thanks for the nod re. the weather forecast. Have already stocked up on beef & veggie suet, long life milk, butter & extra flour ( for pastry), but may well get a bit of extra veg in by mid week x

Snow forecast here too but thankfully my landy gets us most places whatever the weather & I run errands for locals when it's bad so usually out and about collecting shopping for the elderly etc

PenPin hope you're on the mend x
Katgodess may I suggest an apple/cider sauce with generous chunks of apple as a sauce and maybe with cabbage and mustard mash - DP dislikes pork but can you tell I don't!
Kitchenbunny can I please have your jambalaya recipe, I tried one and it was vile!

Anyway I must must must do this again every week!!! I'll start with mains, might move to the rest when feeling brave but boys are on school dinners during the week and eat out Saturdays so just me and DP most of the time

Monday - chicken curries, naan and sides for us, chicken wraps for the boys
Tuesday - pizzas as I need to be out asap after tea
Wednesday - Prawn stir fry, rice, prawn crackers/sides. Sweet & sour for DSs
Thursday - spag bol
Friday - chicken enchiladas, ravioli for DS2
Saturday - fish, chips and peas
Sunday - toad in the hole with whatever veg is left + tinned if needed

Ok for mains I need a little veg & chips, I did a giant shop last Monday so I'm pleased. will need bread and rolls for lunches, maybe some more sandwich meat oh and DPs beloved coke!

Hi All - I'm really late this week!!! Was so busy back end of last week, forgot to post and the plan has gone a bit to pot as we have had takeaway twice (hangs head in shame....)

Sorry to hear you are poorly PP - get well soon.

This week we have had/having:

Thurs: Garlic Sausage on Toast (DH went out - he had a bacon sandwich before leaving)
Fri: Takeaway Pizza (with voucher)
Sat: Pink Chicken (or its real name - French Style Farmhouse Casserole) & Rice
Sun: Takeaway again (this time at DH's parents) - I didn't pay!!!
Mon: Turkey Meatballs with mash and onion and mushroom gravy and broccolli
Tues: Out with a friend for her birthday
Wed: HM Veggie Curry (using up LO veggies in the fridge) - DH going to see Motorhead!

I can see this being a trend on the run up to Christmas, but I'm determined to use up the contents of the freezer - if I'm spending money on takeway - we don't want to be spending money on groceries too!

I'm really not sure of what's happening over the course of next week, so I'll just post for a few days ahead for now. There'll be more when I sort out what's going on.

Fri - Jambalaya
Sat - Poss steak sandwich, with fajita mushrooms.
Sun - Chicken and bacon pie with potatoes and veg.
Mon - Sub Roll Pizza
Tues - Omelette
Weds - Pork Fajita Wraps
Thurs - Spaghetti Bolognese
Fri - Sweet & sour chicken with noodles and extra veg

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.

Just updating my post with the rest of the week. Things are still a bit up in the air, but I've planned a few more days ahead to use up stuff from the freezer. There's also a bit of cake left for puds as well as some home made sausage rolls (trial run for Christmas) for lunches. Have a good rest of week!
