    Thanks for sharing meals everyone :) Hope everyone has a good week x

    M+M90: I love moussaka! How do you make the topping (or do you just use the tomato sauce, like I do with my lasagne?) For cheesey sauces I usually blitz some Sheese with soya or oat milk which sets nicely enogh for moussaka but would be interested to see how you do yours, if that's ok? :)

    Breakfasts
    Fruit n fibre with soya or oat milk and juice, or peanut butter on toast with the milk to drink.

    Lunches
    Sat: Smoked Cheddar-style Sheese Savoury Stotties
    Sun: Stuffed Flat Mushrooms with veg, roasted pots and gravy. Possibly Rhubarb Crumble for afters with some aerosol rice cream donated by MIL
    Midweek: pease pudding salad wraps/sarnies for the others with apple/kiwi + soya yoghurt or dessert. Mine will be salads with avocado, olives and dark rye crispbread - yum!

    Teas/Snacks
    For the girls after school, this is usually a couple of crackers+ crudites with peanut butter to dunk, or a homemade cake if I do any (plan on some rhubarb oat buns) with raisins, or banana and slice of bread + cup of soya or oat milk.

    Dinners
    Sat: Fishless Fingers with mash and baked beans or veggies
    Sun: (Tea) Toast with pate, carrot sticks, raisins and probably rhubarb oat buns
    Mon: Cauli Pasta Sheese Bake with spring greens
    Tue: Bean Couscous Salad
    Wed: Apple Fritters, Pease Pudding and Steamed Taties
    Thu: Dahl and Rice
    Fri: Marguerite Patties with spring greens (a bit like Marguerite Patten's mock fishcakes in that there is no fish ;) but seasoned with smoked sea salt and nori flakes instead :cool:)

    Suppers: The girls have a cup of milk before bed, there is popcorn and carrots for us if we get nibbly.
    Love and compassion to all x

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm a bit late with mine this week as I was away on business at the end of last week. I'm still trying to run down the contents of my freezer so I can defrost it - I WILL get there one these days! :o (Stuff with an F is from the freezer):

    Friday - chilli con carne (F) with RTC smoked cheese on toast (quick meal when I got home from my business trip*)
    Saturday - pesto, smoked ham and cherry tomato pizza
    Sunday - sausage (F) and tomato (F) lasagne
    Monday - meatballs (F) with tomato and olive bulgar wheat (from AF)
    Tuesday - Mexican pork and bean stew (F)
    Wednesday - prawn (F) jambalaya
    Thursday - falafel (F) and humous wraps (F)


    * Sorry, I'll stop mentioning it now - it's just so long since I've been away on business that it feels like a serious novelty! :o
    Back after a very long break!

    .

    We use Free and Easy "Cheese" sauce from Sainsbobs...not very OS, I know :o

    Have also made this: http://epicureanvegan.com/2010/05/23/creamy-macaroni-and-cashew-cheese/ and used it for moussaka and it was delish but a bit faffy.
