    I've been Money Tipped!
    Thanks to both meal planning thread starters :)

    I only am thinking today to thurs ATM. I can top up then. Still emptying the freezer the size of a house but also, need to up protein intake a little. Not wanting more meat I am looking to fish this week.

    Lunches will be salad or marigold this week. Breakfast porridge made with skimmed milk, not water.

    Suppers.

    Mon: salmon fish cake from frozen supply with green beans
    tues: sea bass, Bierce blanc, frozen courgettes into a ratatouille
    Wednesday: cod baked with tomato, onion and olives
    Thursday: either, another salmon fiscake and veg or a white fish and bacon salad sandwich.

    Change of plan-tonight we are having spaghetti carbonara, instead of smoked cod florentine, as I can't be bothered to make it, and carbonara is my quick and easy go to pasta dish (will do it with peas and mushrooms to make it better for us...

    Here goes with another week:

    Monday - Enchiladas
    Tuesday - Hot Roast Beef Baguettes (using leftover roast beef from tomorrow night's tea heated up in gravy in a part-baked baguette...)
    Wednesday - Chicken Rogan Josh with Rice
    Thursday - Sweet & Sour Turkey with Noodles
    Friday - Chilli con Carne with Sautee Potatoes
    Saturday - Mexican Pasta with Meatballs
    Sunday - Jambalaya (which I meant to have last week)

    In a change to last week's mealplan it's a chicken and bacon pie tonight with mash and veggies. Still planning on having a roast beef dinner tomorrow though! I don't really need much in the way of additional shopping next week, so I'm grinning a bit about that. I'm trying to use my initiative to stre-e-e-etch everything as far as it'll possibly go. The pie tonight has 2 chicken thighs roasted in the oven and stripped of meat with 4 rashers of bacon and a white sauce. Mmm...

    Have a good week everyone, and it's so great to see so many meal plans!

    Making a change to use up some more freezer items and we'll have Roast Gammon, Roast Chips, Peas, Sweetcorn and a Fried Egg on Sunday instead of the Jambalaya. I truly can't wait!
