    Going to join in for the first time! :j

    I buy chicken breasts in bulk and freeze as we eat chicken a lot. I know not cost effective, but I get 'em cheap as poss. :p

    Monday 30th April - Beef Stirfry (beef from butchers so in freezer)

    Tuesday 1st May - Garlic pork, steamed broccoli/carrot/cauliflower/potato (pork medallions from freezer)

    Wednesday 2nd May - Spag bol (mince in freezer)

    Thursday 3rd May - Chicken chasseur (chicken in freezer)

    Friday 4th May - Paprika chicken, sweet potato & cauliflower mash, green beans (chicken in freezer)

    Saturday 5th May - Roast chicken

    Sunday 6th May - Beans on toast (always do this on a Sunday)

    Shopping will be coming to around £40 this week (get it delivered weekly via Tesco so I can't get tempted to buy unnecessaries walking round the shop!)
  • I've not finalised mine as recently kept changing despite plans, as I fancied something different on the night! I am also trying to eat entirely from stock so roughly will be:

    Mon - either chicken pukka pie, mash, cooked veg portion from freezer - OR blue cheese potato cakes with broccoli - will see what I fancy making!

    Tue - Possibly Malaysian quorn curry but have small amount of pesto that needs eating so might do something with that..

    Wed - Baked tuna crepes or cheese omelette with broccoli

    Thur - pork mince something - ?groats and frozen root veg or fresh carrots

    Fri - On late shift @ work... if don't eat there will be storecupboard noodle broth with peas!

    Sat - going to a food show, then out for dinner to my favourite place

    Sun - Am another year older!! Still not decided what to do but think we going for a curry in the evening..


    Lunches this week involves little pasta with tinned mackerel and leftovers from dinner!
    I love food, hate waste and have a penchant for sparkly things ::D

    Trying to find a work life balance...:rotfl:

    Monday - Veg and tofu korma (mild for DD :( )with brown rice and HM veg samosas

    Tuesday - Thai peanut sauce over brown rice soba noodles and stir fry

    Wed - Puy lentils in roast tomato and garlic sauce over wholewheat spaghetti with salad

    Thursday - (junk day!) Fried breaded tofu with sweet potato fries, broccoli and sweetcorn

    Friday - Chickpea and spinach curry (DD is at her grandmas so it's out hot curry night) with chapattis

    Saturday - 4 bean chilli with blue corn tortilla chips and HM guacamole

    Sunday - Lentil bake with roast pots, veg and gravy

    I cooked everything yesterday and refrigerated/froze/chopped and bagged accordingly; have made double of most for lunches the day after.

    This week is looking a bit uninspiring. DW is planning next week so let's hope she can step it up a bit. I was in a bit of a rush as we only moved in on Thursday and looking over the plan a lot is a bit stodgy and boring :(
