I can't see a mealplans thread for next week yet, so I thought I'd start one.

And, BTW, how is it the first of October next week? :eek:

Friday - macaroni cheese with peas and bacon
Saturday - cheese and onion pasty / pie (I'm not sure which I'll make yet) with baked beans
Sunday - roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and roast veg
Monday - LO roast beef in creamy peppercorn sauce with jacket potato and peas
Tuesday - LO roast beef and veg noodles

Wednesday - cheese and tomato pasta bake
Thursday - Thai veg curry with lemon rice


What tasty treats has everyone else got lined up for this week?
Back after a very long break!
