Haven't posted for a while, but I generally meal plan in order to try and ensure variety. All meals are home-made from scratch and can be moved around for convenience or changed if a better idea comes along.
Friday - Fish Pie for 4 (DH, DD1, DD2 & me) & parmesan crusted chicken for DSIL & 3 DGSs
Saturday - Bacon & cabbage for 7
Sunday - they must fend for themselves as DH & I are going out
Monday - Lentil lasagne for 3 or 4
Tuesday - Chinese style ribs, stir fry & egg fried rice for 8
Wednesday - Freezer forage for 3
Thursday - Freezer forage again for 3
Friday - Chicken tikka, Rogan Josh and all the trimmings
Saturday - Chilli con carne
Sunday - Roast beef & Yorkshire pud with hopefully the first runner beans:)Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

Tuesday - Spaghetti and meatballs in a tomato and chilli sauce
Wednesday - it's my birthday treat so being taken out for a meal.
Thursday - cheese and potato pie, with whole plum tomatoes and grilled bacon.
Friday - we always have fish on a Friday so I might do new potatoes and peas instead of chips and mushy peas this time round.
Saturday - haven't got that far. I shall see what is on offer when I do the food shop on Wednesday/Thursday!Cat, Dogs and the Horses are our fag and beer money:beer:
