Last time I did this was 8th June...! Been away poorly with bad morning sickness and a whole host of other problems, so time to get back on the wagon I think, i'm 23 weeks and still can't eat much so below is more flexable then I used to be, and add to that I have to eat Low Gi for Health Reasons, so sometimes eat different from the boys...

So we'll see how it goes!

Breakfast -

Mon - Fri - DS either HM Scotch Pancakes or Rice Pops, DH toast, ME whatever i fancy which is different daily, as I hate breakfast!

Weekend - DS & DH Toast with Eggs and Soldiers or HM Scotch Pancakes! ME as above

Lunch -

Mon - Fri - DS & DH - Packed Lunch, ME Carrot and Lentil Soup

Weekend - If-It

Dinner -

Friday - Taco's :dance:
Saturday - [STRIKE]Not sure[/STRIKE] Looks like if-it for dinner as well as lunch!
Sunday - Stew DH/DS, Soup ME :dance:
Monday - [STRIKE]Mince and Bean Rice[/STRIKE] Gyros and Pitta
Tuesday - [STRIKE]LO Stew DH/DS, Soup ME[/STRIKE] LO Gyros
Wednesday - [STRIKE]LO Mince and Bean Rice[/STRIKE] Pancakes
Thursday - [STRIKE]LO Stew DH/DS, Soup ME[/STRIKE] Toad-in-the-Hole
Friday - [STRIKE]LO Taco's[/STRIKE] LO Mince and Bean Pitta/LO Stew
We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    Thanks for starting us off, JG! :)

    I'm currently at work and my meal plan is at home, so I'll see how much I can remember:

    Friday - lazy night - supermarket 'takeaway' pizza
    Saturday - chard and ricotta lasagne
    Sunday - meatball tagine
    Monday to Thursday -
    plaice mornay (LO from M&S meal deal a couple of weeks ago), veg and chips
    chickpea and vegetable bake
    roast chicken with polenta
    marinated pork chop with veg noodle stirfry

    I'll be making a courgette cake this weekend, if the courgette / marrow is still OK (it's been in the fridge for over a week :o): if it's not OK, I'll be making a banana cake instead. ;)
    Back after a very long break!

    My friend made a Marrow Cake and no one liked it... but my DS9 couldn't get enough though and keeps begging me to make it. Do you have a recipe? Because my friend keeps fobbing me off when I ask! :cool:

    I was planning on trying this one as it will also help deal with the slight overdose of carrots I have at the moment, but the recipe sexymouse linked to looks good as well. That could be a tough decision to make tomorrow. :think:

    You certainly can - it's another Good Food recipe - here. I change the veggies around according to what I've got - this week it will be carrot and squash rather than aubergine. It's a bit of a favourite of mine - I hope you like it too. :)
    Back after a very long break!
