Oh dear - very late with mine this week! Last week was stuck to with one exception when I had l/o pasta bake from the freezer cos DH went out to eat with a friend.

So this week looked/looks like this:

Sat - M&S dine-in - beef roulades, rosti cakes & starawberry/rhubarb pie

Sun - Smoked mackerel hotpot (which didn't get made last week - see above), new pots, peas

Mon - L/O of above for me...DH ate on the road (it was a long day)

Tues - Quiche & beans

Wed - DH stuck somewhere so I've had omelette and salad and moved everything else on a day!

Thurs - Burgers, new pots, coleslaw, salad

Fri - Bean enchiladas

Sat - Freezer fish and chips, tinned mushy peas

HM Peanut and Choc Chip Granola

Cheezly, Thyme and Pear Scones or Cheezly Savoury (ie with chives, grated carrot, raisins and salad cream) in Wholemeal.

Mon: Sweet and Sour Tofu Veg with noodles (slowcooker)

Fri: Apple Onion Floddies,

These all sound tasty. Do you have recipes (particularly the granola?) I really need to use my slow cooker more too.

Hi Justamum The ideas for the scones, sweet n sour and floddies are here in this post.

The granola didn't clump together as much as it used to when I made it, more like a muesli texture, but till crunchy and good. It was based on the basic recipe from More with Less Cookbook with the following proportions:

5 cups of rolled oats
2 cups of value peanuts
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup of rapeseed oil
1/2 cup soya milk

Mix together then spread into a lined oven dish. Bake at 160C for 1 hour, stirring a couple of times to cook it evenly. When it cooled, I mixed in about 50g (half a value bar) of dark chocolate.

Thanks for this recipe and the link. I'm going to have to make sure I look on the meal plan thread every week so I can see what you are making :rotfl:

I really need to get into meal planning. I have a 'master' shopping list which I work from so I never run out of anything any more, but I'm sure I can get the cost down even more if I actually plan what I'm going to cook each week. Famous last words

You are welcome Things don't always work out as planned, but I like to think of my plan as a blueprint or fallback. There are occasions pasta or veg + noodles appear instead And my spends don't always seem to match with my virtual shop I do first... not sure how that happens! Should be the coming week's menu plans appearing soon I would think. I'd love to see your plans if you don't mind sharing once you start
