Well, I normally write my meal plans on a Saturday morning with a cup of coffee in hand, but inspiration flew here and I'm glad of it! I've a load of cleaning to do tomorrow morning anyway, so it's all worked out for the best.
Anyway, rambling now, but here's my mealplan:
Saturday - steak and ale pie with chips
Sunday - leftover steak and ale pie with mashed potatoes and extra gravy
Monday - Chicken Curry with Rice
Tuesday - Fajtas
Wednesday - TBC
Thursday - Shepherd's Pie
Friday - Homemade Baguette Pizzas
We've still got some flapjack bars in the tin, which will need to be eaten before too long (they're still good for a few days' yet) and I'm planning on making a few jam tarts tomorrow when the oven is on for the pie, and may make a few mini quiches for lunchboxes in the week.
I'm getting into a little bit of a rut with the mealplans so I'm going to scour the cookbooks this weekend to see if I can shake things up a bit.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone, and I love reading your mealplans.
