Mealplans WB 27th August

It doesn't look like anyone's started next week's mealplan thread yet so, as I've just done mine, I thought I'd get us started if that's OK?

I'm back to freezer-clearing at the moment - I will get there in the end! - everything marked (F) is from my vast frozen storecupboard:

Friday - chilli (F) cheese burger (F) and salad (very, very naughty, but so nice! :o)
Saturday - my sister might be visiting and, if so, we'll probably go out for lunch; otherwise it will be a deli-counter ham and mushroom pizza (F) - bought on a multibuy offer last week
Sunday - broccoli cheese (like cauliflower cheese, but a different veg) with HM bread
Monday - Thai veg curry (F) and coconut rice
Tuesday - veg crispbakes (F) and baked beans

Wednesday - pasta with bacon, broccoli and pesto
Thursday - ravioli pasta bake (F)


So what's everyone else got this week, then? :)
Back after a very long break!

    I'm new to this thread but will be looking n more often. Already gleaned a few ideas for next week. Will go and get a big chook from tescos tonight for 'American dinner' - roast chic, strips, corn on cob and coleslaw. Various rubber chicken recipes from the leftovers. I will do meat loaf or cornish pasties as have frozen sos meat and want to try left overs for pack ups as kids stert school the week after. Eeek!
  • Spirali pasta with chicken livers, bacon and sage
