MealPlans WB 7th February

  • A lot of last week's plan didn't get used. Somehow lots of invitations to "come round for tea" seemed to happen. Not that I'm complaining ;). As a result, a lot of last weeks meals are making another appearance this week. So here is what I think we'll be having this week:

    Monday: Potato waffles, baked beans, broccoli
    Tuesday: Rice, lentils, chicken
    Wednesday: Cottage pie
    Thursday: Mushroom curry
    Friday: Macaroni cheese with sweetcorn and tuna
    Saturday: HM Pizza
    Sunday: Out

    As per usual, lunches are soups, sandwiches or leftovers and breakfast will be toast or cereal. Let's see how much of this week's menu gets carried over to next week:D. At least a lot of it is sitting in the freezer rather than going off in the fridge.
    :cheesy::cheesy: Cheese… milk's leap toward immortality :cheesy: :cheesy:

    I'm just working on this now as my freezer contents is dwindling to a point where I know there is more than I think there is ......so I am trying to resist overfilling it again as I want to get it used up and dug out . I'm starting with what I have and I'll keep looking for inspiration on what to do with it

    Monday - Liver for DP, pork loins for me
    Tuesday - Sliced beef
    Wednesday - Quorn mince
    Thursday - Stir fry
    Friday - Fish - got scallops, cod, prawns
    Saturday - Sausages
    Sunday - Morocaan lamb & cous cous

    Ok I've just put liver for DP, I hate the stuff, he likes liver and onions do I just slice them both into strips and fry together? What sort of seasoning? Does it come with gravy.....I've literally never cooked it before, I hate the smell but I got it free so want to use it and he dislikes pork
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Do you have a recipe??

    Yes. The pork goulash and herby dumplings was in last months good food magazine (in the batch cooking section so guess what I'm doing). I'll post the recipe later.

    When I make it for DH I coat the liver in flour then fry with some onions. It doesn't take long to cook. I don't bother with any seasoning/spices just serve with chips (and he adds brown sauce). It's one dish I cook that I know I won't get complaints about (probably because I hardly ever cook it so it's a treat ;))
