Hello again everyone... who can believe it's the last week of February!

Bit of an odd one for us this week, due to a hectic end to the week and an even busier weekend.

Thursday: beans and egg on toast
Friday: homemade tacos with homemade salsa
Sat: party
Sun: takeaway
Mon: homemade turkey burgers
Tue: Chicken in tarragon sauce

and that's as far as I've got this week lol!

I was unusually good last week and stuck to my meal plan completely, except for one evening when I accidentally defrosted the wrong tub and ended up with spicy lamb stew pasta bake rather than chilli pasta bake. (It actually wasn't too bad, though I'm not sure I'll do it again deliberately. )

My intention for the next few weeks is to run down my freezer contents as the door doesn't currently shut unless I lean on it. My plan therefore involves buying very little this week - as long as I stick to it, anyway!

Friday - mushroom, pancetta and ricotta pizza (need to buy tomato puree, mozzarella and mushrooms)
Saturday - sausage, bean and tomato casserole
Sunday - ravioli pasta bake (from the freezer)
Monday - Indonesian beef stew, mash and veg
Tuesday - spicy beef burritos
Wednesday - spicy veg and peanut stew with flat bread (need to buy flat bread)
Thursday - chicken and lentil curry (from the freezer) with naan (need to buy naan)

That's a nice short shopping list!

CH27

Sunday -- Salmon & new potatoes
Monday -- Takeaway as son has his college interview at 6pm.
Tuesday -- Pasta with a HM tomato sauce.
Wednesday -- Spicy chicken wraps.
Thursday -- Beef Stroganoff & rice
Friday -- Sausage & 3 bean casserole
Saturday -- Chicken or lamb curry.

Breakfasts will be toast.
Lunches will be sandwiches, soups & leftovers.
Snacks will be homemade cakes & scones.

I was fairly ok this week. I swapped a few meals around but have stuck to the overall plan.

Quite an easy one for me this week as i'm away next weekend

Monday – macaroni cheese with gammon

Tuesday – [STRIKE]sweet and sour pork with rice/noodles[/STRIKE] quesadilla with caramelised red onion, tomato, sweetcorn and cheese

Wednesday – [STRIKE]corned beef crispbake with potato wedges and sweetcorn (easy as will need to pack!)[/STRIKE] bagel pizza with sweetcorn, tomato and cheese

Thursday – [STRIKE]going to my dad’s straight from work, we’re going to have a takeaway[/STRIKE] vegetable stir fry

Friday – [STRIKE]away[/STRIKE] butter chicken with cous cous and chickpeas

Saturday – [STRIKE]away[/STRIKE] chickpea, spinach and tomato curry with cous cous/rice, naan bread and maybe some mini onion bhajis

Sunday – [STRIKE]i’ll probably just do a pasta bake as not sure what time i’ll be home[/STRIKE] going to my dad's for a roast

No new recipes, but i've made up for it in the last couple of weeks!

Oh dear, it's all gone to pot! My week has totally changed and my trip away isn't happening now so i'll try and stick to the amended plan. The weekend might change as not sure what i'll be doing now.

Here goes with my mealplan for the coming week:

Monday - Tomato and Bacon Pasta Bake with garlic bread and possibly salad.
Tuesday - Toad in the Hole (using sausagemeat instead of sausages as I have it to use up from Christmas)
Wednesday - Uncertain, I need to check
Thursday - Cottage Pie with Extra Veggies
Friday - Spicy Prawn Stir-Fry with Noodles
Saturday - Lasagne. I'll make a huge one so I can freeze 4 portions.
Sunday - Roast Chicken, Roast Potatoes and all the trimmings (haven't done this for ages and really fancy a roast!)

There's the usual cakes and fruit for snacking, and cereal for breakfast, sarnies for lunch. Hope everyone has a good week.

Saturday: Nandos for lunch (OH has a voucher), Lasagne & garlic doughballs for dinner (made a couple of weeks ago and in freezer!)
Sunday: Tapas for lunch inc HM bread, Pork steak, veg & gravy for dinner (with roast potatoes and yorkshire puds for OH)

Breakfasts will be yoghurt & fruit for me, weetabix & yoghurt for OH
Lunches in the week will be carrot & coriander soup & wholemeal roll for me, sandwiches for OH (with the leftovers from tapas, the remains of which will go on Friday's pizza!) and we will both take fruit

Snacks will be fruit/smoothie (HM of course)/HM cookies/cake (probably lemon)

The only thing we need to buy is Monday's fish and possibly a bit more fruit and bread, I like that kind of shopping list!

I know you are having flat bread on a Wednesday night, so maybe not practical, but I have a recipe for flat bread which tastes wonderful if you want it.... Jx
