    Daisy Butterfly: I havent made this variation yet but will post if its a success tomorrow. Just planned on adding the fruit, seeds and cocoa to a normal flapjack mixture.

    HotCookie: that's how I started out and then realised it wouldn't make enough difference to our diet to justify it being too difficult!

    Enjoying reading everyone's plans: thanks for sharing :)

    Daisy Butterfly we have all just had a tester slice of the flapjack and is a unanimous success :)

    50g cocoa powder
    175g granulated sugar
    175g marg

    Melt together. I use the microwave but you can do it in a pan.

    Stir in:
    50g chopped dried apricots
    50g pumpkin seeds
    300g rolled oats

    Press into a lined shallow oblong tin. Bake at 180C for 20 minutes. Leave to cool in the tin then cut into bars.

    Hope you like them :)

    Tonight: Mung bean cottage pie & veg
    Sunday: Veggie chilli
    Monday: Pasta bake & salad
    Tuesday: Thai red curry with coconut rice
    Wednesday: Pasta bake & salad
    Thursday: Stir fry to use any leftover veg
    Friday: Pizza night

    Hope everyone manages to stick to their plans :)

    xx

    Boodle, please could you let me know where you find your slow cooker recipes? I'm veggie and would love to use my slow cooker more, but have trouble finding inspiration! Your meal plan sounds lovely :)
