Meal plans WB 26th September

CCP

I'm off work for the next week so the following is subject to change at any time:

Friday - out visiting family
Saturday - possibly ditto, or something from the freezer
Sunday - beef, mushroom and stout stew (made with a bottle of stout I won at a pub quiz months ago and have been trying to find a use for)
Monday to Thursday -
my dad's visiting one night so we'll probably go out for an un-OS but yummy curry
spinach and ricotta calzone
split pea and ham soup (thanks for the idea, medsdemon :T)
one more TBC

Hmm - some revision needed there, I feel!

hi all, i'm planning from tomorrow and aiming for an empty fridge on friday. (didn't happen this week as i needed to shop for pudding ingredients and made justifications for buying stuff to have in fridge!

breakfasts are cereal and milk, toast, toasted sandwiches, eggs.

packed lunches monday to friday : leftovers from night before, ham sandwiches, banana, yogurt, carrot and cucumber sticks, fairy cakes and cereal bars from freezer.


saturday lunch: baggettes, with salad and cheese tea: out to friends

sunday lunch: bacon and eggs.potato waffles tea:shepherdless pie (cfr)

monday : pasta and cheese sauce

tuesday: chicken myers pie and veg

wednesday:jacket potatoe and chilli

Starting to get back into planning again - though this week I've been freezer-rummaging and trying to use up all the odd portions of leftovers!
Saturday - may be going out to eat though this needs confirming
Sunday - Roast Lamb
Monday - Thai green chicken curry - Jamie O recipe
Tuesday - Slow Cooked Spanish Beef - not made before - recipe from allrecipes.com
Wednesday - Jamie Oliver's 30 min Chicken pie
Thursday - freezer-rummage! Think I may be out with friends but can't remember if we're eating or just meeting for a drink!
Friday - Bangers and mash, veg, onion gravy
Saturday - Me and hubby out - freezer-rummage for the kids!

I have been lurking around the Menu Planning threads for a while now getting ideas :j, however probably like many people I was in the habit of staying in my "comfort" zone and cooking the same old thing, but now that I have adopted the OS method of shopping, looking for the bargains and picking up the odd reduced item my planning has changed

Because I live alone my freezer has become my most treasured kitchen appliance, but I also have to plan carefully for friends visiting, so this weeks menu is as follows:-

Sun = Chicken Chow Mein
Mon = Vegetable Frittata, salad
Tues = Chicken in Oyster sauce, fried rice
Wed = Cheese & Onion Quiche, salad
Thurs = Spag Bol
Fri = Table Picnic/Antipasti stuff = cold meats, pasta/rice salad, pickles/olives, green salad, crusty bread (accompanied with a glass or two of wine :beer: )
Sat - Sausage roll, mash, baked beans

Hopefully taking all this into account and the supplies I have I should hopefully achieve a totally "No Spend Week" :A and boy do I need one!!

I don't normally post on here but I have been meal planning for over a year now. It save us so much and really cuts down the waste.

Plan for the week is -

Monday - HM Chicken + mushroom in tom sauce with pasta (LO roast chicken from today)
Tuesday - HM Chilli con carne (trying a new recipe as DS didn't like the last one)
Wednesday - HM Bacon and mushroom pasta (in white cheesy sauce, lots of mushrooms to use up this week!!)
Thursday - Cod loin - need to decide on HM sauce, maybe parsley
Friday - HM Shepherds pie from freezer
Saturday - HM Parmeasan Breaded Turkey Escalopes with new pots and veggies
Sunday - Roast of some sort. Depends what meat I find while shopping tomorrow.

Breakfast for us are porridge / cereal / toasts / yoghurts / fruit

Lunches - sarnies / pitta pockets / wraps and fruit/yoghurt maybe a handful of crisps for a treat!
