morning all,

still trying to cope with the harvest gluts, and regretting not emptying the freezer in the summer!

made lists of stores and freezer contents a couple of weeks ago, everytime something came out another pot of stewed fruit or sauted courgettes went in, so freezer still full to bursting.. (need to stop putting fruit in now as have found summer 2010 fruit in there...

therefore, mealplanning needs to come from the freezer, this week when i've made space i want icecream in the freezer as that will make all this hot fruit more appealing

breakfast: pancakes, bacon and eggs, bacon butties, cereals.

packed lunches: carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, yogurts, homemade pasta salad, quinoa salad with onion, mandarin and peanuts, soup, slice of quiche, slice of cake/muesli bar (try to get away from daily ham sandwiches...)

Sat:Lunch: soup and hm scones
Tea: Chilli, cheddar and lettuce

Sun:Lunch: cooked breakfast, sausage, bacon, egg, mushroom, tomatoes.
Tea:Chicken pie and veggies.

Monday:Sausage and mash

Tues:Chilli and rice

Wed:tuna and sweetcorn tagelettelli

Thursday:shepherdless pie

Friday: Use up contents of fridge challenge

OK, first attempt - mix of pre-cooked from the freezer and new stuff ...

Saturday: Chicken & Leek Risotto (1st attempt at this!:))
Sunday: Sausage casserole & mash
Monday: Chilli & rice
Tuesday: LO sausage casserole & chips
Wednesday: Spag Bol
Thursday: Chicken casserole & mash
Friday: Lasagne

I got a huge bag of spuds recently that aren't great for anything except mash:( as they're still hard one minute and soup the next!:eek: I might try some as chips and see if they work for them.

I love Risotto but have never made it before - really as it's a bit of faff to make and doesn't seem worth it for one (especially as I know rice is "difficult" to reheat so don't want to have loads left).

Saturday: Chicken & Leek Risotto (1st attempt at this!:)

I love Risotto but have never made it before - really as it's a bit of faff to make and doesn't seem worth it for one (especially as I know rice is "difficult" to reheat so don't want to have loads left).

I haven't had a chance to try this recipe yet (there are six mouths to feed here!)

Left over rissotto needs to be put in the fridge as soon as it has cooled.

Rissotto cakes

Leftover rissotto chilled over-night (approx) 450g
flour seasoned with salt & pepper
2 eggs beaten
4 handfuls of breadcrumbs
2tbsp sunflower oil

Shape handfuls of rissotto into burger shapes.
Dip into seasoned flour, then beaten egg and coat in breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in non stick span and fry burgers for 4 mins each side.
Serving suggestion is crisp bacon and salad...

I read somewhere the key with rissotto is to add the stock a ladel full at a time... apparently the stirring bashes the rice and gives it the right texture. I am sure it will be great

Since I am here our meal plan is as follows:

Sun - Beef stew, Parsley dumplings, Mash and Cauilflower.
Mon - Asparagus rissotto and ciabatta
Tues - Baked meatball pasta and garlic bread (I will probably have some soup from the freezer and crusty bread)
Wed - Macaroni for the kids and Cherry tomato pasta for the grown - ups
Thurs - Burgers & salad (veggie burgers for teeny and I)
Fri - Veggie Cannilloni & Roast potatoes
Sat - Pizza, salad and potato wedges
Sun - Cottage pie & veg

[STRIKE]Friday: Gumbo and rice, Saturday: Gumbo and [/STRIKE]pasta. Sunday: Everyone out at MiL's apart from me as I'll be in bed. I'll have a sandwich.
Monday: Garlic chicken thighs, mash, carrots and swede.
Tuesday: Carbonara (courgettes from garden), Cherry pie
Wednesday: Pie/pastie, oven chips and beans
Thursday: Pork chops, mash, swede/carrots, sweetcorn
Friday: Roast beef, potatoes, ?yorkshire puds, swede and carrots.
Saturday: Spanish omelette (tomato, potato, any courgettes from the garden, onion)
Sunday: Out to MiL's.

Need to change this already .
Due tot he hot weather we're having at the moment, the gumbo still has lots left and will do 5 of us for tea on Tuesday.
So, Wednesday gets dropped and changed to carbonara as it's the day with non go offable food.
Gives us another meal for next week though doesn't it
