Storecupboard meal plan help

Options
After two weeks of spending way too much in the supermarket:eek: , we are aiming for at least one week of eating out of the cupboard/freezer/fridge. I thought I would throw myself on the mercy of fellow OSers to see if you can help come up with any meals for me and DH. We like all types of food and like to use lots of herbs and spices in our food and don't really eat puds

lasagne sheets
tagliatelle
penne
puy lentils
red lentils
tin kidney beans
creamed coconut
tin tomatoes (but we can get more of these)
couscous
risotto rice
sultanas
apricots
basmati rice
cheese
chillis
onion
garlic
ginger
jar tapenade
jar sun dried tomatoes


Freezer
4 chicken breasts
some beef chunks
bags of home soaked and cooked chickpeas
bacon rashers
blanched leeks
blanched savoy cabbage


hope you can help!

  • If it was me, it would be something like:

    Chickpea and lentil curry with rice
    Chicken Lasagna (2 x chicken, toms, kidney beans)
    Beef Stew (beef chunks, leeks, onion, toms)
    Egg fried rice
    Couscous with the apricot, lentils and sultanas
    Chicken, roasties and veg
    Cheese potato pie with bacon, cabbage and crispy onion
