25/2 - (Quorn) Chicken and Brocolli Pasta Bake - new for me and looks scrummy: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1948/chicken-and-broccoli-pasta-bake
26/2 - Spicy Tomato Baked Eggs - looks like one of my favorite dishes I used to eat in Israel but have never made, Im really excited about this! http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/7573/spicy-tomato-baked-eggs
27/2 - veggie chili from freezer with rice
28/2 - L/o butternut squash soup
1/3 - leftovers from week, making pizza dough for next day

Hi Nottoobadyet and all that follow...
Did an inventory of my freezer last night so I could complete my rough monthly meal plan in preparation for shopping...found quite a few things I didn't know I had!
So, this week we are having:
Thurs: If DH is going out tonight then he will have omlette and I will have fried eggs and potatoes; if he's staying in then I will do HM Paella when I get back from my meeting.
Fri: Lemon Pepper Chicken, Rice & Veggies
Sat: Gammon, wedges, Pineapple and veggies
Sun: Eat at DH's parents
Mon: HM Chilli, Wraps & Salad (Chilli in freezer)
Tues: Fish of some description
Wed: A Jamie 30 Minute Meal - not decided which one yet, but leaning towards one with Pork Chops
Desperately need to make some soup on Sunday - have lots of bits and pieces in the freezer to make at least 3 types, but haven't got round to it yet- not buying tinned and really missing my soup lunches.
Have a good week all.
