    I used to post on this thread when it was first started, but haven't for ages. I've also sort of fallen off the wagon and now that I'm on maternity leave and not earning as much I really need to get back on track. I have enough in already to stretch to the following meals and should just need to shop for packed lunch bits over the weekend:-


    [STRIKE]Choritzo pasta sauce with tagliatelli[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Mr A fresh pizzas[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Mackerel with chilli and ginger marinade, salad and potato's[/STRIKE]
    Chilli & rice
    Roast pork, veg, roasties and gravy
    Cold roast pork, HM chips and beetroot
    shepherds pie
    Quorn sausages, HM chips and beans
    Quorn sausage pasta
    Mackerel & roasted veg couscous
    Chicken fajitas

    The crossed out meals are the ones we have already had this week.
