Mon Cottage Pie, carrots brocolli and cabbage
Tues Chicken Fajitas
Wed Pork with honey and mustard, roast pots, carrots and brocolli
Thurs Prob sausage and mash or Jkt potato
Fri Steak and Chips for us pasta for the kids
Sat Curry, rice

I now we are very meat heavy and am trying to start cooking one veggie meal a week, not that other half seems that impressed with that idea.

Hello, can I join too please. I do plan normally but got out of the way of it over Christmas with family staying so just need to kick myself back into gear.:o

Sunday - hm pizza and chips
Monday - broccoli and spaghetti
Tuesday - root veg in a white sauce with herby dumplings and cabbage
Wednesday - the return of the root veg thingy
Thursday - fish pie
Friday - ratatouile and couscous
Saturday - left over veg risotto.

Pudding each day will be inspired. I always seek inspiration at the very last minute.:rotfl:

I have been doing this for the last couple of weeks but haven't posted anything (probably a good thing because both weeks have changed dramatically depending on my mood).

This week, in no particular order because it depends on who's here, what time I get home from work, and what I can be bothered to do:o:

• Corned Beef Hash
• Macaroni Cheese
• Chilli and rice
• Fish and chips
• Pasta with bolognese sauce
• Fend for yourself dinner
• Leftovers

Nothing very exciting I admit but it will all be homemade. Lunches will be sandwiches/soup/salads/wraps/leftover pasta

Can I just ask how you make your flapjacks?? I have lost count of the number of different recipes I have tried over the years, and every time they come out rock hard!

Ooh, mine are so yummy! Heat 75g of butter, 60g of brown sugar, and 1 (generous) tablespoon of golden syrup in a pan over the hob. When everything is melted, stir in a good glug of milk (this is what stops them going too hard), then mix in about 175g - 200g of porridge oats. Press it down into a square cake tin (I think mine is about 18 cm square) and cook it at 180c for about 25 minutes. Hope they work out for you. Boo.x

Hey all!

It being January, we are on a frugality kick (and OH is on a health kick) so trying to eat what we have out of our rather depleted cabinets:

Thursday - Carrot and Corriander soup (have lots of carrots that need using, and some bread that needs eating. New recipie for me)
Friday - vege bolganese pasta bake (have everything in for this)
Saturday - Out
Sunday - jacket pots with vege chili from freezer
Monday - leftover pasta bake
Tuesday - leftover soup
Wednesday - maybe veg curry with rice, not sure yet but need to use jar of curry paste

Theoretically, I should be able to get through the week only buying a bit of corriander for the soup, breakfast cereal, bread, milk and some broth powder, pluss any veg for the curry. Lunches are leftovers.

Have you tried carrot and ginger soup? We love it and I often use ground ginger for it which i often have in the store cupboard anyway, it would save you from buying fresh coriander

Stuck to last weeks meal plan...mostly

Anyway, having done a bit of cooking today (slow cooked a nice bit of brisket, sc gammon for sarnies and a pasta based dish in the week, and choc cranberry brownies) this week will be:

Brekkie - toast or cereal/porridge

Lunches (for me anyway as OH on jury service and lunch provided) soup made with veggies & stock/wine the brisket was cooked in, or sarnies with the sc gammon

Evening meals -

Su - slow cooked brisket, roast tatties and parsnips,sweetcorn, hm yorkies and hm gravy
Mo – spag bol
Tu – pasta & gammon in tomato & mascarpone sauce
We – Chicken burger and chips or wedges
Th – Lo brisket stir fry with rice & veg
Fr – maybe a takeaway end of week treat
Sa – Breaded pork steaks & potatoes or rice

Snacks - choc cranberry brownies - recipe from lovefoodhatewaste.com - really moist and scrummy and very OS as it uses up cranberry sauce left over from xmas.

Have a good week everyone
