Meal plans WB 24th October

JulieGeorgiana

Not too bad this week, Wednesday went to pot because I had no leftover to feed us... so we had an 'if it' night... no one complained

If you notice that there is a lot of Cauliflower Cheese on the menu, just smile and nod at the pregnant woman's current cravings :cool:

NB. I have Insulin Resistance and therefore eat a Low Gi/GL diet, so sometimes the boys eat different or altered meals (I don’t want people to think I cater for fussy eaters!)

Friday (No DS) - [STRIKE]Mititei and Cauliflower Cheese[/STRIKE] :silenced: Revised to Pork Chop and Sweetcorn ME/LO Lasagne OH
Saturday (No DS) - Cottage Pie (wo/ Mash for me) :dance:

we went to pot this week coming back fro hols and various evening things - however have fallen back on a couple of standby recipes and used what we have in rather than getting takeaways/ buying more so its all good.

Need to replan til the end of the month tonight but from memory of whats in the freezer

Slow roast Pork
leftovers (probably pulled pork sarnies)
Jackets and toppings
something eggy - quiche or strata
veggie burgers and wedges
jambalaya
steak pie
prawn curry
sweet and sour pork
beef fajitas
another eggy something
pasta with sausages

I was quite pleased with myself last week as I stuck to my plan on all except one day (I had to take the cat for an emergency (and very expesnive ) vet appointment and ran out of both time and enthusiasm).

My intention this week is to not buy anything except milk and fruit / veg as my freezer is full to overflowing and I really need to run down the contents a bit. (Freezer stuff is marked (F).)

Friday - pizza - LOs from last week's BOGOF takeaway (F)
Saturday - brisket chilli(F) and smoked cheese (F) stuffed gem squash
Sunday - split pea and ham (F) soup (made with ham stock which is also (F) with HM bread
Monday - smoked cheese (F) and bacon (F) quiche
Tuesday - chard and ricotta lasagne (F)
Wednesday - spicy smoked mackerel (F) rice
Thursday - bacon (F) and mushroom supreme with brown rice

That should give me a bit more space, and is rather colourful!

I am organised this week

Tues - Cottage pie & veg
Wed - Spag bol & garlic bread/ Soup and crusty bread for me
Thurs - Cous cous and veg sauce with beef strips

Thursday 25th - rice and beans with jerk pork
Friday 26th - (on my own, OH away) - chicken goujons with veg and potatoes

As last week, all the meat/fish etc is coming from the freezer so didn't need to buy a huge amount. Ordered my shopping to come tomorrow and as it's a cheap week food-wise, have taken advantage of Sainsbury's 3 for 2 gift offer to start stocking up on Christmas presents!

I can’t believe we are preparing for another week. But I have to say after going off track with my previous menu’s I did stick rigidly to this week. Because I have spent way over my target for Oct I really need to stick to this one as well, so meals are based on what I have in stock/freezer, the only thing I may need to buy is soured cream for the stroganoff, but I might try using some hm yoghurt instead.

Sun – Mushroom Stroganoff with brown rice
Mon – Roast chicken and oven roasted ratatouille
Tues – LO Ratatouille with Pasta & crusty bread
Wed – Meatloaf, mashed pots, veg.
Thurs – Chickpea Curry, rice/naan bread
Fri – Vegetarian Moussaka, crunchy salad
Sat – OUT FOR DINNER – WHOOPIE = Entertainment budget!! :beer: (how sad am I, but I don’t get out much)

Lunches will continue to be soup from freezer, sandwiches or LO's.

Ohhhh I'm so unorganised this week as didn't get DM to bring any groceries when she came at the start of the week (didn't need them then!).

Literally haven't got any veg left so will be struggling until Monday:eek: so will have to make do with some mash & chips I've got in the freezer until then.

Sat - Roast chicken with veg (F) & chips (F) (pick & make stock)
Sun - [STRIKE]Chicken curry with LO chicken [/STRIKE] no mango chutney:(
Mon -
Tues -
Weds -
Thurs -
Fri -

mmmm this is going to require a bit more thought ...... will be back (hopefully) shortly

It seems a bit of a "waste" defrosting a whole chicken & cooking if I've not got "proper" veg to go with it - it was going to be the staple of a lot of my meal plan this week as does me several days mmmmmm

Rising from the ashes, what about jointing the chicken and cooking in different ways once you get your veg - just a thought.
