  • This week we're having:

    Sunday: Lamb with roast potatoes and veg.
    Monday: Chicken wrapped in bacon with new potatoes and veg
    Tuesday: Pork Cheeks casserole served with mash and veg.
    Wednesday: Cubed Lamb made into kebabs with onions, tomatoes and peppers, served with rice.
    Thursday: Scampi, Wedges and Beans/Mushy Peas.
    Friday: Stovies.

    Not terribly exciting but STILL attempting to make head way on the enormous amount of food we already have in - speaking of which i shall go read the store cupboard challenge because we're 4 weeks in and still have enough food to avoid shopping for anything other then fresh for another month minimum!

  • Last week I stuck to my meal plan, right down to the last ingredient! This week:

    Breakfasts: Toast with marmite, fruit or porridge

    Lunches: Sandwiches, bag of crisps and a fruit

    Dinners:
    Sunday: Bacon and Roast potato
    Monday: Sausage, mash and Peas
    Tuesday Smoky Sausage pasta
    Wednesday: Tuna, Sweetcorn Pasta bake
    Thursday: Shepherds Pie
    Friday: Home made pizza

    I start a new job on Tuesday so all my recipes are super quick one's which can be made and served in 20 mins max because my working hours are now 9am - 6pm.
  • Well my cooking skills were a bit variable last week so I am hoping to do better this time.

    Sat - beany bake and carrots. This was excellent and is doing me two lunches next week as well.
    Sun - pizza and chips
    Mon - tomato and mushroom risotto.
    Tues - raid the pantry pie.
    Weds - kitcheri
    Thurs - oriental noodles with brocolli
    Fri - parsnip, carrot and brocolli korma.

    lunches are leftovers and sarnies. Breakfasts mostly porridge and one or two eggy days. I really intended to plan out puddings this week as the family can't seem to cope when the meal ends abruptly after a main course, but no planning has been done so it will be a mixture of fruit, angel dewotsit, semolina whatever is quick.
