    Ooohh, i love threads like this! I always meal plan, i find it saves so much cash. I tend to make all my dinners from scratch too as i love to cook.

    Our shopping week runs Friday to Thurs. Friday evenings are the best time to food shop, its soooo quiet.

    Friday - Lamb mousaka (microwave meal, DH was away for the week) and veg

    Saturday - Lamb kebabs from the takeaway :o

    Tonight - Chicken cooked in beer (waitrose receipe, looked intersting!), mash and veg

    Monday - Spicy turkey meatballs and rice

    Tues - Penne with anchovies, chilli and purple sprouting broccoli

    Weds - Fishcakes, new potatoes and veg

    Thurs - Frozen pork, pinenut and lemon meatloaf with jacket potatoes and veg

    Im trying to eat healthier but also trying to use up bits from the freezer and there is a huge amount of sausages in there to use up. DH will be happy as he loves anything with sausages......

    Wow, meal planning the day you get home from hospital with a baby: very impressive!

    Tonight: lentil soup
    Tues: lettuce soup ( not home made, cogent garden whoopsie in the freezer )
    Wednesday: steak and rocket salad
    Thursday: something with courgettes.....maybe pasta.
    Friday:mussels, probably valentine warners recipe which we have never tried
    Saturday: out for the day.....probably have supper out
    Sunday: chicken somehow with a sauce, veg and mash.


    I'm having meat mid week as needing to keep iron levels up. Still working though the freezer, want it to get empty enough to defrost. As soon as sorting gets going, then defrost the other freezer (dog food freezer). Eating hot food in this cold weather is important to me, and keeping it all easy ATM.
  • Loving this meal planning - last week went a little awry at weekend - couldn't resist the whoopsied meal for 2 for £1.95!

    Can anyone talk me through how to go back to a previous post and edit what is there. I want to cross off my meals when I've done them but can't figure it out.

    This week, will be having:

    Mon - Lentil & bacon soup with cheese scones
    Tues - Chickpea curry and rice
    Wed - Puff pastry pizza
    Thurs - Pork Belly, pots and leeks in white wine sauce
    Fri - Takeaway
    Sat - Chicken and chorizo Paella
    Sun - Nigellas chicken
