    Hello all,

    Friday - chippy shop chips as always, I think I'm going to have cheesy chips. They don't actually do cheesy chips, it just means that we don't have to buy anything extra for me to go with the chips. :money: + I love cheesy chips so I'm not going without.

    Saturday: Chicken wraps with sweetcorn and mayo and wedges.
    Sunday: Turkey, potatoes and veggies :D
    Monday: Sausage and Mash
    Tuesday: Sausage, bacon, fried egg and wedges
    Wednesday: OH usually has bacon and cheese on toast as I go out to do my Mothers shopping - cuts down on a proper meal needed as well ;)
    Thursday: Chicken curry and rice with naan bread.

    I have a table on my spreadsheet with 6 columns (Beef, Chicken, Pork, Fish, Vegertarian & other). Whenever I cook a meal I put it in this table... over the course of time you build it up with meals you enjoy and then when it comes to meal planning you just pick and choose something from the columns (I try to not pick two from the same column in the same week)!

    To get you started have a look at the Grocery Challange thread, in the first page there is a list of loads of recipies... get an idea from there of things you like :)

    That's a good idea! :T Will try to do something similar myself. :)

    PinkPrincess this is a Hugh F-W recipe for chachouka. It's a Tunisian vegetarian dish based on peppers in a tomato sauce.

    Here's my mealplans for the week - I'm really looking forward to them all. I don't eat meat, but eat fish, and my DH eats meat, but isn't keen on fish (he tolerates fishfingers though).

    Saturday - Waitrose Cheddar and Balsamic Onion Tart with Caesar Salad
    Sunday - HM Squash stuffed with leeks (from my new River Cottage Veg cookbook)
    Monday - Tofu and vegetable korma with rice (me) / Waitrose Chicken Tikka Massala with rice (DH)
    Tuesday - Veggie burgers with a HM blue cheese sauce, brocolli and mashed potato
    Wednesday - Veggie mince pies, mixed veg and boiled potatoes
    Thursday - Fishfingers beans and mashed potato
    Friday - Pesto pasta with veggie bacon and soya beans
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
