Next weeks I have done this afternoon:
Mon: Tuna Pasta

Wed: Fish Pie
Thur: Frying Pan Pizza (feb issue good food recipe)
Fri: Chicken Paella
Sat: Chicken Pops and Chips

I'm doing a Store Cupboard Challenge this week so some of my meals include pre-bought sauces

- Chicken breasts in HM Tomato, Onion and Garlic sauce, served with Garlic Red Potatoes and frozen veg
- Salmon fishcakes served with oven chips and frozen veg
- Pasta with buttered garlic mushrooms
- Chicken in shop bought (Country French) sauce, with frozen veg and garlic red potatoes
- Chicken Pasanda (shop bought curry sauce) with Basmati Rice
- Scampi and chips with frozen peas
- Lasagne (will make 4 portions and freeze 2)
- Sausage Casserole (will freeze leftovers)
Lunches will be sandwiches with tuna mayonnaise, peanut butter _pale_ , cooked tinned meat _pale_ and chocolate spread _pale_ :rotfl:0
