Meal planning is great... this is my third week and for the first time in quite few years we have made it through January's pay packet with not too much month left at the end of it.. :T
It's all part of the bigger plan of getting more organised. :j0 -

I'm forever running out of ideas so always find this helpful.
Monday 17th:
Tuesday: Leek & Potato Soup
Wednesday: Salmon Pasta Bake (using salmon that we were given as a present, boned and cut into steaks and frozen)
Thursday: Mince, onions & gravy, mash & veg (will make in bulk and freeze mince)
Friday: Chicken Curry and rice
Saturday: Fish & chips (in freezer)
Sunday: Roast Chicken
And to be super good will use leftover chicken for sandwiches and boil up the carcass with veg and make a soup on Monday.Don't Throw Food Away Challenge January 2012 - £0.17 / £10

I tend not to decide on what days I will have each meal, I just decide on a few meal options for the week and chose what I fancy most at the last minute - I find we waste less that way as I really need to want what I'm about to eat or it just leads to waste for us
...so this week we will have in soome sort of order:
HM pizza
Ham, potatos and broccoli
fish pie and peas
Arroz cubanos (just rice topped with HM tomato sauce and a fried egg)
tomato and basil pasta with courgette
salmon and vegetable rice
tonight DH is out and I just had crackers and cheese as I've been busy eating loads of the applesauce cake I made, trying to decide if I like it or not...
Breakfasts: porridge, fruit, cereal or yogurt
Lunches, HM potato and leek soup, falafel wraps or a baked potato and cheese / beans0 -
I meal plan every week, first time posting here though
Monday - HM burgers, salad and chunky chips with Nandos Peri Peri Salt.
Tuesday - Chicken breast fillets w/pepper sauce, roast pots and veg.
Wednesday - Baked sweet potatoes with Veg chilli
Thursday - Spanish Chicken (chicken thighs, red onion, chorizo, potatoes, oregano)
Friday - Veg pasta bake
Saturday - take away as always
Sunday - Roast rib of beef, roast pots, HM yorkshire puddings, croquettes and veggies.
Chocolate fondant puddings on sunday for dessert.
Also this week for sweet things Shortbread and Blueberry Muffins.
Lunch for dad will be sandwiches, lunch for me HM carrot and coriander soup.The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0
