How do you make the Chachouka please? I've never heard of it:o

I make this about once a week - its delicious, cheap and everyone loves it.

the version I make is closer to this: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/7573/spicy-tomato-baked-eggs

Though I use fresh toms as they are cheaper where I live. It always turns out perfect and its good enough to serve to guests.

This looks/sounds amazing! Have bookmarked the recipe to use at some point, can't wait to try it Other half loves eggs but isn't overly keen on tomatoes, so I'm hoping the range of flavours in this keeps his interest lol. Thnanks for sharing

Right, New Year, new start. Have been off here ages I even needed to re-register as I had forgotten my user name and password!! I find I budget so much better with stricter meal planning, so my week is:

Weds: Pasta & Chilli, from freezer (Ithought it was bolognaise, teach me not to label things!)
Thurs: Pasta with tub of sauce from fridge.
Fri: Omlettes, bread & butter
Sat: Chicken fajitas

Lunches for me usually salad bits, carrots, cue & toms with lots of fruit and some cheese and DH may have soup or leftovers.
DD's will have school dinners and then should have a small portion of the main dinner (usually want loads though!)
Puddings during week are fruit and/or yoghurts but we still have lots of choccies and nice biscuits left from Christmas so are trying to use those up as puds.

Your menus are all so inspiring - this is my first week meal-planning properly - here goes!

Monday
Lunch: yesterday's leftover chicken in a sandwich with salad
Dinner: Jacket potatoes with cheese and salad

Tuesday
Lunch: Cheese & Ham sandwiches
Dinner: Sausages, Yorkshires (from frozen), steamed carrots & cabbage

Wednesday
Lunch: Leftover sausages (and some leftover applesauce hopefully) in sandwiches
Dinner: [STRIKE]Cheesey veg pie (to use up all of the almost dead vegetables in our fridge[/STRIKE] Chinese Takeaway
Thursday
Lunch: [STRIKE]Cold leftover pie[/STRIKE] Leftover Chinese Takeaway
Dinner: Glazed chicken breasts w/ rice & steamed veg

Friday
Lunch: Leftover chicken in sandwiches
Dinner: Homemade pizza, or bits & pieces if we do the shopping this day

Weekends a bit trickier as we are sometimes out. We'll possibly have jacket potatoes again on Saturday and something on Sunday that'll leave leftovers for Monday's sandwich

Yup - couldn't be bothered to cook last night, so had a cheeky takeaway - and it was totaly worth it (if not strictly OS, or MSE)

Make it spicey and add the sugar a bit early (before putting in the toms, so the onions carmelise a bit) for some variety soooo tasty!

Wow, you all seem super organized. This is my first meal plan for 2012, the days may vary depending on work.

Saturday - HM lasagne (hoping to make extra to freeze but everyone loves it so not often any left).
Sunday - HM chicken & veg pie (veg from garden) with new potatoes
Monday - something HM from freezer, probably chilli or chicken risotto
Tuesday - Nasi Goreng
Wednesday - HM beef stroganoff and rice
Thursday - HM cottage pie with carrots and brocolli (from garden)
Friday - HM pasta with tomato based sauce

Breakfast will be toast / cereal and lunches are usually sandwiches. Although it's the summer holidays here in NZ so the boys tend to have noodles or beans on toast for lunch. :cool:
