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!)

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 CHRISTMASWe 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!:dance: Mortgage Free Wannabe :dance:Overpayments Made: £5400 - Interest Saved: £11,550 - Months Saved: 240 -
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)
Saturday - fish and chips, from the takeaway.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!0 -
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
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 awaywhat 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!0 -
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

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)
