    Hi,

    Can I join you?

    I am feeling inspired to meal plan.

    I even baked today - sultana flapjacks and marble cake.
    The marble cake is gorgeous, but I forgot to put the sugar in the flapjacks so probably only me that will eat them :rolleyes:

    Sunday - Roast Lamb, roast pots, yorkies, carrots, runner beans and broccoli
    Monday - Lamb Rogan Josh, using left overs, chickpea and spinach curry, rice and naan bread
    Tuesday - Jacket potatoes and chilli with salad
    Wednesday - Chicken fajitas
    Thursday - Beef Casserole, with mash and veg
    Friday - Toad in the hole, with bubble and squeak, and onion gravy

    Breakfast is cereal, toast etc
    Lunches are sandwiches, wraps or soup with flpajack for me

    Enjoy your meals

    Gosh, you all eat well. My DS1 is very much a creature of habit, so our menu is very (very!) similar to last weeks:

    Sun: roast chicken, roast potatoes and carrots, Otherveg (TM) - peas, cauliflower, green beans (this time), gravy. (DH cooked it for a treat)
    Mon: mince from the freezer, mashed pots, Otherveg
    Tues: cold roast chicken, left over pots (roast and mashed), Otherveg, gravy
    Weds: HM pizza
    Thurs: HM chicken and sweetcorn pie, Otherveg, gravy
    Fri: pasta and sauce - HM carbonara for the children, HM tomatoey sauce for me and DH
    Sat: DS2's 4th birthday, so 'party' lunch and his choice of tea - we will see what he comes up with! It will still probably be mostly HM.

    This week's menu is as follows:

    Monday - Chicken & Chorizo Paella
    Tuesday - Jacket potato with beans/cheese/tuna
    Wednesday - Pasta with meatballs
    Thursday - Pizza & Salad
    Friday - Sausage & mash with onion gravy & veg
    Saturday – Courgette & Potato frittata with salad & salsa
    Sunday - Roast chicken, potatoes & veg

    Last week's menu was a success, with only one meal not as planned...this week I'm hoping for a 7/7 success rating! :p I have to admit, I love this menu planning - it makes me feel in control, which is a great feeling!! ;)

    Did have a whole menu plan for the week. Was meant to make shepherds pie last night and one for the freezer.

    Made toad in the hole for lunch and when OH refused to make gravy (bearing in mind I'd spent an hour preparing and cooking dinner and over 5 hours on saturday in the kitchen and he'd not even made a cup of tea), I went on strike. So OH had a cheese sandwich for tea as I went to bed with a migraine. He had already finished off all the flapjacks without leaving me any at all.

    Have no idea what it was meant to be tonight but now it will be scrambled egg on toast or beans on toast. Should mean the food in the freezer lasts longer.

    I do not work full time all week so that I can spend my entire weekend cooking (while he watches rugby, football and F1) with not even a cup of tea made for me, let alone a plate or cup actually put into the empty dishwasher!
