    I've been Money Tipped!
    I only worry about planning the weekends ATM.

    Friday night: Pear & stilton salad, Parmigiana (with chicken escolope if he's really hungry) and a fruit tart
    Saturday: eating out
    Sunday: starter souflee then roast pork? (check freezer)w. creamed nutmeg spinach, broad beans and baked pumpkin then....hmm..maybe a shoofly pie.
    Monday: (n.b must bake for monday meetings) lemon, green veg and thyme risotto and either left over pie or possibly a fruit souffle then cheese.


    Stuck to it so far....today needs tweaking though as I have lef over pumkin it will be a pumpkin risotto, and have found myself needing to provide a light lunch...so a mushroom tart and a lemon soufflee for lunch, with the risotto and leftover shoofly pie and cheese and fruit for supper: dynamic meal planning!

    L: Hummus and Avocado in Baps

    This sounds lovely and just happen to have hummus and avocado in my fridge - looks like this might be a lunchtime treat this week.

    Thanks for the inspiration....x

    Liver, bacon, onion gravy, green beans, mash (may buy yams to cook/mash, never tried!)


    Yams are delish sprinkled with paprika and salt, drizzled with olive oil and baked as wedges. In fact, I may have to change Monday's plan...

    Hi, Can I come out the closet and join too? :) I've also joined the NSD Challenge and Grocery challenge this month as the shopping budget is the only place left to cut back. :( Meal planning till now has been very vague and haphazard which I need to stop. I'm planning for 3 adults (including MiL who lives with us and our 5 year old son. hubby gets lunch provided at work.:D Our weeks tend to go Monday to Sunday so from the 13th:

    Sun 13th: Pork Teriyaki and noodles (last of the frozen stir fry veg in the freezer and Lidl Pork offer chops - again from the freezer!)
    Monday 14th: 2nd half of last Sunday's lasagne from Freezer, salad
    Tuesday 15th: sausage, beans and mash (whoopsie sausages from Mr M :0 )
    Wednesday 16th: Spicy tomato pasta and HM garlic bread (not spicy for DS)
    Thursday 17th: Chilli con carne and rice
    Friday 18th: Vegetable balti and Naan (sweet potatoes and cauli from the freezer)
    Saturday 19th: HM Pizza
    Sunday 20th: Pork chop in creamy mustard and apple sauce, veg and potatoes

    Lunches: Rolls/ Ham/Cheese/salad
    Soup: French Onion (Aldi super 6 onions!); sweet potato and chilli (Sweet Potatoes found lurking in the veg basket); potato and leek (MiL)
    DS: Roll, stockpiled cheese sticks from As*a deal, choob, apple (Al*i's last super 6), dilute juice, cupcake (stockpile from offer)

    Breakfasts, Toast, cereal, coffee, apple juice (Li*l weekend offer stockpiled)

    As you'll see I'm really bad for stockpiling things. Sometimes it even works! :)

    Hi burge23,

    I don't suppose you'd share the recipe for this, would you? It sounds delicious and I'd like to try it.

    Oh, and thanks Boodle for the curry recipe - shall be giving that a go. :)

    Thanks in advance,
