    Omlettes
    Sausages, beans and cheese & potato pie
    Chicken Kebabs with pita breads
    Fajitas with potato wedges or Enchilladas if I have more time
    Chilli and rice or chips
    Chicken, some sort of curry, rice and naan bread
    Burgers with chips

    Managed to get another 7 days main meals from what already have in, will be a few things left over aswell :) I did try day order last week but it just didn't work that way so going back to main meal choices list. There is alternatives in for the boys when they can't/won't have what we are having. Fruit and veg depends as usual to what we have in. Lunches same, soups, baked potato, sandwiches etc. Breakfasts still using up the excess of cereals.

    Thankfully shopping list is now smaller for this week, working on getting freezer empty as it needs a darn good defrost. Chilled, fresh and dairy mainly I need to buy. Unfortunately that will mean some repeats of foods from last week eg the excess chilli I made needs using up :o
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Bit of an odd week for me this week. The kids have gone off with their dad for the whole week :( . It will be sooooo quiet! My plan is to use meals I've been collecting in the freezer (you know an odd portion left over here and there etc).

    Chicken Casserole
    Beef Curry
    Quorn Shepherds Pie
    Quorn Bolognaise
    Omellette
    Lentil Casserole
    Probably a repeat of something already had.

    Need to use up my Quorn stash, DD1 is now allergic! Will also do some batch cooking for when they come home I think. Spending will be a bare minimum, especially enforced as am currently car-less due to MOT failure :eek:

    Have a super week everybody.
