Should only need to buy the soya milk and a few apples/bananas this week (must remember to post on GC.) Have been using Asda ready oats for calcium boost to reduce amount of soya milk consumed... the consumption was getting a little out of hand...

So let me tell you the saddest meal planning story ever. Last week I had a huge dinner party on Friday which left loads of scrummy leftovers, and made a big batch of tomato sauce for various dishes.

Then on Sunday my house was broken into and my refrigerator was stolen with everything inside:mad:. Including some lovely cheeses my mum had brought from overseas and several other things I cant replace easily. They also stole LOADS of other things (all my OH's clothes, computer, camera, hard drive, etc) but somehow this on especially grates! Hopefully it will all be covered by insurance, but that wont buy my leftovers back Hope to get a new fridge over the weekend but in the meantime feeling a bit crippled.

Doing my best to not use it as an excuse to eat out all the time! This week I'm starting with things that are easy to make just for us, then bulk cook to fill up new freezer.

Tonight: Pasta pesto with veg
Friday: veg stir fry with cheats satay
Saturday: Mates are having a party and roasting a pig (!!!) so will be eating that
Sunday: Hopefully will have the new fridge so will make meatballs and tomato sauce
Monday: Spiced Carrot and Lentil soup (make enough for freezer)
Tuesday: l/o Meatball Sarnies
Wednesday: vegetarian chili (making enough for freezer)

The scumbags.!!!! I hope you are alright. x :mad::mad::mad: I hope they catch them.

I am still working on our meal plan with the help of PhGage. I will edit the post once I have next week sorted.

Have a lovely week everyone.x

Yes thank you, thank goodness no one was home and no one was hurt. Chances of catching them are very thin but hopefully insurance will stump for everything.

Yummy!

That's a strange thing to take, NTBY, I can't imagine the state the interior will be in with all the food being sloshed about as it is moved :O

OMG what a nightmare. I can see how that would make you feel totally violated.
Totally up in the air until monday here then:

sMon lo pork stir fry
tues thai prawn curry
weds hm pizza
thurs hm pasta and pesto with salad
fri shepards pie or burgers and chip (mince and potatos anyway)

NTBY - :mad:. I'd be very cross about the fridge, too, particularly the cheeses. :mad:

My plan went a bit awry last week - it was one of those situations where I changed one meal, and that ended up affecting everything else. I've been a bit lacking in inspiration for the last few weeks, so I've gone for an all-veggie meal plan this week in the hope that a (very minor) challenge will encourage me a bit.

Friday - cheesy mushroom in a bun with chips and salad
Saturday - baked aubergines
Sunday - beanburger puffs and salad
Monday - aubergine and kidney bean Thai curry with coconut rice
Tuesday - veggie crispbakes with roast tomatoes
Wednesday - veg chilli with roast squash and garlic bread
Thursday - cheese and tomato pasta bake

NTBY, that's awful, poor you! Can't believe someone stole a fridge with all the food inside though, bizarre. How hard would that have been to move! I'd be furious too.

OH is back for his tea on Monday so next week will go like this for us. Breakfast as usual and lunches will be sandwiches or hummous with pitta and carrot dunkers.

Mon - chilli & rice
Tue - sausage, mash, veg & gravy
Wed - cheesy broccoli & pea pasta bake
Thur - chicken in Cantonese sauce (YS jar) and noodles
Fri - spaghetti & meatballs
