right I have spent tonight sorting out a new meal planner for this week starting tomorrow - I say new because we are getting a bit sick of the usual stuff so I have decided to shake it up a bit

listed below are 6 dinners which I need to sort into days and for the seventh day we will be having some leftovers

bean burgers in buns with relish and salad ( thanks gingham )
curried cod with broccoli, carrots and potato wedges ( thanks mr pataks! )
quorn burgers with hm cole slaw & salad ( thanks quorn website )
veggie bangers n mash with peas & carrots
lentil shepherds pie & sweetcorn ( thanks gingham )
galette au chou with carrots & roast potatoes

lunches

cream of veg soup (HM - old schwartzkoph recipie)
lentil, carrot & tomato soup (HM own recipie)
tuna sandwiches ( got quite a glut of tuna to use up )

puddings

angel delight, jelly, yoghurt

snacks

fruit, flapjacks, shortbread

Im having a freezer clearout tomorrow too because there is stuff in there that could be older than my DD :eek: and also I am hoping to freeze some of the dinners that will be left over for the following week

not sure if the above meal plan is nutritionally balanced though but it will definately be a welcome change to rubber chicken, spag bol, mince & mash & chilli con carni.

Penny-Pincher!!

In the last 4 days for lunch OH & I have been having a piece of quiche or ham, served with some new potatoes and salad with a nice light dressing and it has been going down a treat.

Morning all,

Have only meal planned to Wednesday so far (that's when I get my next fruit n veg delivery!).

So this week looks like this:

Saturday: Chicken Stir Fry
Sunday: Chilli and HM Wedges
Monday: Lentil Shepherds Pie and Peas (Thanks Gingham!)
Tuesday: Toad in the hole with mash, peads and gravy
Wednesday: Cauliflower, Potato and Brocolli curry with rice

We eat a lot of meat in our house (when I was growing up, Dad used to say that it wasn't a meal without some form of meat!!):rolleyes: Over the next few weeks, I want to reduce the amount of meat based meals we eat (maybe down to 3/4 a week) so that we get a good mix of foods, and use up our veg box!

Thanks,

Sarah xx
