Hi CCP & Boodle Thanks for starting the thread. Here's my mealplan for the coming week:

Friday - Enchiladas
Saturday - Probably pizza
Sunday - Tomato & Bacon Lasagne with Garlic Bread
Monday - Corned Beef Hash
Tuesday - Sweet Spicy Turkey Skewers with Salad
Wednesday - Not sure yet
Thursday - Chilli Con Carne with Sauteed Potatoes

Am in a state of using things up (still) so I can defrost the freezer Getting to the stage where I can see the bottom now so it's getting there. Enjoying the challenge of rediscovering meals I've not made for aaaaages.

I'll probably bake some cookies later this week to see us through the weekend - they go down better than shop bought. Otherwise there's cereal for breakfast, sarnies or leftovers for lunch and fruit for snacking on. Must must must write my shopping list before I forget.

Take care all.

Have a good week all.

Hi Pix I posted all the meals for last week's too, but not sure if the person who asked managed to see them. Hope this helps:

The burgers are dried soya mince/flakes and rolled oats with onion powder and probably smoked paprika to taste then a yeast extract stock (ie dissolved in hot water) poured over with about a tbsp rapeseed oil (gives a nice savoury flavour/mouthfeel) just enough to wet the mixture. Stir so all mixture is damp but not so much stock it is swimming. Once cooled and handleable (is that a word??) press into patties and fry to cook.

Pease Pudding is just yellow split peas cooked in just enough veg stock and a bay leaf until thick. I season with white pepper and beat in a little mild olive or rapeseed oil. When it cools it will thicken a little further. That's just going in a shortcrust pastry plate pie with some sliced onions on top and the rest for sarnies - lovely with loads of additions for ringing changes like any other pate: sometimes I beat in a little curry paste to taste, or its nice with just a touch of onion powder and dried sage; its nice having any way with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, crunchy lettuce; the plain one is nice with cooked beetroot in a sarnie; I like it with a little mango chutney and/or lime pickle. The Apple Potato Mash is just normal mash with a couple apples cooked with the pots.

ETA: I sprinkled some onion powder and chopped fresh sage over the pese pudding once spread in the pie before opping with the pastry lid. And it was very nice

Indian-style Cottage Pie is new: thought I would sort of invert this recipe, maybe add passata/tin toms to the sauce and top with the mashed potatoes before baking for about 20 mins at 180C.

The tomato sauce for pasta will probably be the standard passata, onion, cerely, garlic, yeast extract, oregano. Likely add red lentils to it as well for some extra protein.

Pacific Pie is here

Thanks for starting this thread, it's great for new ideas.

1st week of school hols, so is v important not to go 'off plan' and waste money!

SAT: Out at friends for bbq
SUN: Roast chicken breasts, roast pots, veg, yorkies.
MON: Fritatta using up leftover pots and some added bacon, with H/M bread.
TUE: Spag bol
WED: Toad in the hole and green veg
THUR: Macaroni cheese
FRI: H/M pizzas.

Lunches will be leftovers, pittas & houmous and sandwiches. DD1 has just got a cupcake maker so I suspect this will provide most of our snacks!
Breakfasts will be toast with H/M bread, cereal or porridge.

Have a good week everyone.

Well didn't stick to my plan last week at all!!

But this week, as I have NO money I baked a load of poatoes last night and will live off these with various store cupboard toppings this week,

Have a loaf of bread too, so lunch will be toast!

Can't wait for payday - will do a much needed shop!

Thanks for that :T

I have a SC but should really use it more!

I'm veggie and my DS doesn't mind not having meat (sometimes) but won't eat mushrooms or spinach!
