I'm a bit late with mine this week (by my standards, anyway
). I've got / had:
Friday - sausage and tomato pasta
Saturday - takeaway - probably a Chinese, I think
Sunday - cheese and tomato pizza swirls and salad (I think you've started a trend, Iluvmymini :T)
Monday - pork and sausage cassoulet
Tuesday - refried bean and pepper burritos
Wednesday - garlic prawn wraps
Thursday - Western burger, chips and salad
I'm planning on making a pear and blackberry pie tomorrow, as I've got a bit of a glut of pears and a bagful of last year's blackberries still sitting in the freezer. Lunches will be pizza swirls until I've eaten them all, then sandwiches.Back after a very long break!0 -
