Thursday: North african squash and chickpeas.

Is this the curry from river cottage veg? It is really yummy. I made it a couple of weeks ago, the only thing is I found there was too much stock added-I needed to really boil it down loads to get it a thicker consistency rather than just soup, next time will add half the amount (I think it called for 1.2l of stock!)

Just changed my meal plan to accomodate Eliza's arrival which obviously threw us off track. We got home yesterday and was pleased I had stocked microwave meals in the freezer. But its not as nice as real food... so DH and I came up with this using what little is in the house.

Sun - Freezer Pot Luck :dance:
Mon - [STRIKE]Cottage Pie[/STRIKE] :silenced:
Tue - [STRIKE]SC Chicken Stew[/STRIKE] Sausage and Mash :dance:
Wed - Cottage Pie :dance:
Thurs - Cottage Pie Toasties :dance:
Fri - HM Pepperoni Pizza

Hope everyone has a good week x

Here's my mealplan for the week:

Monday - Chicken Tikka Wraps with Salad (1/2 pack chicken thighs)
Tuesday - Tomato Soup with Croutons (Tin from cupboard)
Wednesday - Beef Pie, Mash & Veggies (Top Crust only to save calories)
Thursday - Jambalaya (other 1/2 chicken thighs)
Friday - Meatball subs (1/2 pack pork mince)
Saturday - Pastitsio (other 1/2 pack pork mince)
Sunday - Sausages, Mash, Veggies & Onion Gravy

I'm going to start baking again (long story) but only the odd bit here and there. I seem to have completely lost my baking vibe lately. Anyway, hopefully shouldn't need too much in the way of shopping this week, so I'll be happy. Congrats, JG, on the birth of Eliza - hope you're both doing well.
