    This week seems to have gone soooo quickly!

    The plan is...

    Monday - pasta with broad beans and bacon

    Tuesday - chicken burger with salad and potato wedges

    Wednesday - chilli with rice/jacket potato (need to do some shopping, so depends what I get)

    Thursday - sausages, roasted vegetables and cous cous

    Friday - last day at work until Boxing Day! We're having a buffet before we finish, so if I am still hungry i'll probably have some Super Noodles

    Saturday - lasagne with garlic bread

    Sunday - chicken laksa

    Hey,
    I cannot believe its almost the end of the year-scary stuff! This week has been a complete disaster-what with buying a GINORMOUS joint of beef and then one person missing we had a lot more beef leftover than planned, then OH was feeling bit poorly yesterday so we had a takeaway instead of the planned veggie curry, which we had tonight but with a tub of sauce from waitrose (a very good indian one-karachi-very nice would buy again but only if reduced to 50p again!) and some beef-so not a very veggie veggie curry :rotfl:Hopefully next week will be slightly better :cool:

    The (hopeful) plan for next week is
    Sunday- boiled bacon, mash and veg
    Mo-Bacon and cheese omelette, chips, salad
    Tu-Basa with a pesto crust, roasted gnocchi, carrots and kale (or peas)
    we-OH is out, I'll have pork and broc lasagne salad
    Th-pasta with rich beef ragu
    Fr-coriander cod with carrot pilaf
    Sa-mustard roasted sausage and parnsips with onion gravy, kale and mash
    Su-Roast chicken, brocolli, mashed swede and roast potatoes

    Its all a bit meat heavy, but in winter we do tend to eat slightly more hearty meals, hopefully once we get used to being back in the cold we might eat a little less of it (although the pasta sauce only has a small amount of meat in it.... its what was left over after an italian brisket pot roast-lots of sauce and a small bit of brisket shredded into it, so at least its not a classic 250g beef steak!)
  • Had to fish out the thread today - hope everyone is well! This week:

    Thursday - leftover aubergine parmesean
    Friday - friends over at ours, probubly having leek and pearl barley stew with bread and baked apple for desert. Havent decided whether to have a main course in the middle, but will decide later. Friend can be a bi flakey, so if they dont show, more leftovers for us!
    Saturday - Dinner at a friends, I love playing come dine with me!
    Sunday - leftover stew or chili from freezer
    Monday - Pasta with HM aubergine sauce
    Tuesday - out for free carol concert, suspect we'll eat whatevers in the fridge or freezer when we're home
    Wednesday - vege rissotto with salad or steamed veg from freezer
    Mortgage free by 30:eek:: £28,000/£100,000

    Yay - Another week! I looked everywhere for this yesterday lunchtime! Looks like I was too early...! Last week went well until yesterday when we had to take the cats to the vets! £55 poorer and it looks like there is more to come!

    Menu for this week:

    Saturday 11th - I have a Date with my Husband :D
    Sunday 12th - Chicken Soup with HM Bread
    Monday 13th -Leftover Soup and Bread
    Tuesday 14th - Tuna, Onion and Sweetcorn Pizza Baguettes
    Wednesday 15th - Christmas Dinner Party

    Friday 17th - Sandwiches (Driving to Yorkshire)
    Saturday 18th - Visiting Gran - Will make her a Meat and Tattie Pie :D
    Sunday 19th - Visiting Gran

    My Gran WAS coming down on the 17th, but with the weather coming in she is scared she won;t make it home for Christmas, so if the weather is good... we are going to visit her... which changes the meal plan!

    IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS :D
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm a bit late with mine this week, but here goes:

    Friday - pizza, from the supermarket takeaway counter (it was meant to be :xmastree: night to get it in place before my sister visited: she's not now coming until next week so the tree can wait until tomorrow, but I can't be bothered to rearrange my meal plan now :o)
    Saturday - fish and chips, from the takeaway. :o Well, it is nearly Christmas! ;)
    Sunday - boiled bacon, chips and baked beans
    Monday - bacon and onion suet roll with veg
    Tuesday - bacon and lentil stew with HM bread

    Wednesday - bean burger puff
    Thursday - out for lunch (first of two work Christmas meals); sandwich or similar for dinner (if I need anything, depending on where we end up going for lunch)

    Have a good week, all.
    Back after a very long break!

    Hi all, not posted on here for ages!

    Trying to use up all the random bits and pieces of meals that I've got lying around before I head to my mums for Christmas, which will probably be some time next week depending on the weather.

    • macaroni cheese (to use up cheese)
    • lamb curry x2 (frozen lamb)
    • spag bol (frozen sauce)
    • sausages, mash & beans (frozen sausages)
    • ginger beef, noodles & stir fried veg (beef been lying in freezer for god knows how long! :eek:)
    • scampi, wedges & peas
    lunches will be: toast, sandwiches, mini pizza made with tesco value pitta bread that were reduced to 4p :money:soup or leftovers

    I'll make a rice pudding and some mince pies for desserts and I've also got a tub of Ben and Jerrys Chunky Monkey to use up before I go away :D what a shame...
  • I'm going to have to join this thread to reign me in. I'm a MFW (having become debt free last month)saving for a new house so grocery food is one of 2011 areas to cut back in! I food shop twice a week as I cannot focus too far in advance and find I waste food when I do weekly shops.

    Today - weekly fish and chip treat
    Sunday - lasagne and salad
    Monday - chicken fajitas
    Tuesday - Pasta with pesto and salad
    Wednesday - mushroom risotto and salad

    I only need to buy chicken and pasta as I have everything else. I'll make two lasagnes so I can freeze one. I'll make an apple crumble later for pudding which will last as many days as it's there!

    Another one here who has missed a few weeks. I am trying to eat purely from the freezer and use up as much as possible so meals are odd combinations and annoyingly more meat than I would like BUT its only for the next few weeks then I can get back to what I'd like to be eating.

    Monday
    L - San choi bao
    D - Steak baguette

    Tuesday
    L - cheese sanwiches
    D - pea soup and chicken roll

    Wednesday
    L - BLT pitta
    D - Chilli wraps

    Thursday
    L - mac cheese and ham
    D - mum and dads

    Friday
    L - chicken curry soup
    D - Plate pie and mash

    ALL of this is from the freezer (including bread, mash - everything) all I may need to buy is cheese for the sandwiches (mac cheese sauce is already in freezer)

    Breakfasts as always will be fruit/cereal/toast.
