Meals Plans W/B 11th Feb

Tealady_2

Afternoon

Another successful week for us at sticking to the meal plan and keeping under budget on grocery spend.
Plan for this week starting Saturday is

Saturday - Chicken Curry, Rice and Naan Bread
Sunday - Steak (OH) Pork Loin (DD and Me), Rosti Potatoes, Veg and Pepper Sauce
Monday - Ribs with spicy rice and salad
Tuesday - Herb Pancakes filled with Savoury mince topped with cheese and baked, Pancakes with Fruit, chocolate spread or lemon and sugar for pud. Pancakes are very popular in our house and DD will eat her own bodyweight if allowed so can see me spending a lot of time in the kitchen on Tuesday night.
Wednesday - Grilled Tuna Steak, Veg noodles and salad (possibly Salmon for DD)
Thursday - Chicken and Bacon Pasta Bake
Friday - Mexican Chicken (one of those cook in the bag mixes)with vegetable rice

Breakfasts will be fruit, cereal bars, cereal and porridge

Lunches will be Carrot Soup (carrots still on offer), wraps, sandwiches and leftovers plus sausage rolls for DD

Snacks will be fruit, dried fruit and nuts and biscuits

am trying to find low fat and milk free desserts so will probably do fruit jelly, frozen fruit and buy some sorbet.

Hope everyone has a good week and look forward to seeing your meal plans.

Morning! Thanks, Tealady, for starting the thread - Saturday morning is here so my mealplan is ready to go

Sat - Pasta Bake with Italian-Style Sausage, Bacon & Tomato Sauce
Sun - Shepherd's Pie
Mon - Chinese-Inspired Ribs & Chips
Tues - Cheese & Bacon Pancake Bake
Weds - Chicken Rogan Josh with Rice
Thurs - Steak Sandwiches with Fajita Mushrooms
Fri - TBC

Whenever the oven is on I'll make something for the cake or biscuit tin - today its going to be white chocolate cookies and I'll freeze the rest of the dough for another day. I've got some of the carrots on offer, so I'm thinking some spicy carrot cakes will be tomorrow's cakey thing.

Have a lovely week.

Sat mushroom crepes roast chicken
Sun full english, chicken in tarragon sauce
Mon fajitas Changed to chicken stir fry with cashew nuts and noodles as I fancy a change

Tues courgette pasta
Wed sausages in red wine gravy
Thurs - going to pick up some fish as a treat
Fri bacon and cheese pasta bake

Need to hit the recipe books as meals a bit predictable. Might stuff courgettes with bacon and onion mixture cover with cheese sauce and bake as alternative Friday meal.

Very glad to see the weekly thread back!

We had a big BBQ at our house last night and we were left with a huge excess of rolls - will be trying to go through them fast as they are taking up almost all the room in the freezer!

Plan is:

Sunday: leftover butternut squash soup w/rolls
Monday: BBQ leftovers (likely burgers in rolls)
Tuesday: Shakshuka with ehem rolls
Wednesday: Make tomato sauce - some for ragu a quick ragu, remainder for thursday's shells
Thursday: Valentines special - making bruschetta, three cheese stuffed pasta shells with meat sauce and tiramisu for desert. Will set up a table in the garden.
Friday: leftover shells
Saturday: Away for the weekend, dinner included in accommodation
