    As I half-expected, last week's plan ended up getting a bit swapped around. I'm not having the same meals again this week, I just haven't got round to eating some of them yet. :o

    Friday - pepperoni pizza and salad (snap, JG!)
    Saturday - chilli cheese burger (naughty but oh so nice)
    Sunday - pesto chicken casserole with cheese dumplings

    Monday - Thai prawn curry and rice
    Tuesday - veg tagine with naan bread
    Wednesday - veg noodle stirfry with ginger and cashews

    Thursday - either something from the freezer or a hot dog at the pub quiz (the hot dogs are being sold for charity, which means I can justify buying one occasionally ;))

    I'll be making a banana cake this weekend to use up a couple of over-ripe bananas which have been sitting around for a while, too. smiley-dance001.gif
    Back after a very long break!

    Is there space for a newbie over here?!!

    Mine isn't in any particular order - my BF needs a bit of flexibility otherwise he goes stir crazy!!

    *Courgette and Cashew Nut Curry
    *Pasta and Meatballs
    [STRIKE]*Roast Chicken & Veggies[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]*Chicken & Pineapple Fried Rice (with leftover roast meat)[/STRIKE]
    *Spaghetti Bolognese (made with turkey mince)
    *Chinese Beef Stew
    *Beef Enchilladas (with leftover stew)

    Breakfasts for us are homemade yogurt with tin fruit for me and a protein shake for BF

    Lunches are a mix of omelettes, soup and roll or noodles with beancurd

    Hope that everyone has a tasty week!!

    A full week to plan next week as I haven't got college (I only go 2 evenings a week, but the break will be nice) and it's a 4 day working week, which is quite a novelty for me as i've almost always worked on bank holidays!

    Monday - pork, lemon and herb 'meatballs' in a pitta with salad and potato wedges

    Tuesday - [STRIKE]spicy carrot soup with savoury scones[/STRIKE] had a BBQ lunch at work, so didn't have dinner

    Wednesday - [STRIKE]chickpea and parsnip curry with rice and naan bread[/STRIKE] went to my dad's for dinner. Homemade cheeseburger with chips. Yum :)

    Thursday - [STRIKE]jacket potato with something (will see what I have on the day)[/STRIKE] spicy carrot soup with savoury scones

    Friday - [STRIKE]sweet and sour chicken with noodles (and prawn toast as have 2 pieces in the freezer)[/STRIKE] my brother stayed over - we got a 'takeaway' indian meal from Sainsbury's

    Saturday - sausages with [STRIKE]cous cous and roasted vegetables? (I will have to investigate what I have frozen!)[/STRIKE] cauliflower cheese and potato wedges

    Sunday - honey mustard chicken pasta

    :o Already Slipped and it's only Day 1 :o

    Although we didn't do too bad, we wanted a takeaway, so got pizza from ASDA instead :cool:

  • It was called a curry but it's more of a stir fry type meal, we usually have with ho fan noodles but any noodles or rice would work just as well!

    *2 Spring Onions - Chopped
    *1 Garlic Clove - Chopped
    *1 Green Chilli - Chopped and De-seeded
    *200g Courgette - Thick Slices
    *50g Mushrooms - we just use cheapy white mushrooms but I think we originally used shitake
    *Handful Beansprouts
    *40g Toasted Cashews - We buy the s.price roasted and salted and rinse of the salt under the tap
    *4tbsp Soy Sauce
    *1tsp Thai Fish Sauce
    *Noodles/Rice to serve

    -Nice and easy to put together
    *Stirfry spring onions, garlic and chillies until soft
    *Add courgettes and mushrooms until cooked
    *Add beansprouts, cashews, soy and fish sauce for a couple of minutes
    *Cook your noodles or rice and happy eating! :)
