Some yummy plans there! I love faggots-do you make them yourself and if so, are they easy to make?

Keep them coming!

Ah - no I don't make them myself - unless I can claim removing the 'Mr Brains' faggots from their box & putting them in the oven as making them myself!

Found a fab bargain in the Co-op last month 6 faggots for price of 4, plus buy one get one free.... so I stocked up !

I'd love to know how to make them like that though - cause we all think they are lovely.... Off to search the net now!

Not much on the net - here is my new thread !!!

Gosh, hasn't the week gone quickly?!

Last week's Oxtail casserole was absolutely amazing, so we'll definitely be having that agin in a couple of weeks.

Right, here's the Danna house meal plan:

Saturday: Chicken salad for me, Gammon for DH
sunday: HM Sausages or Burgers, see what we feel like
Monday: Lamb chops with lyonnaise potatoes or similar
Tuesday: Cottage Pie
Wednesay: HM Battered Place, using Gary RHodes' superb recipe
Thursday: Chicken Patak, with HM naan or chapati
Friday: HM Soup (flavour tbd) for me, Spare Rib Pork in something for DH
Saturday: My brother's bday, so will be out somewhere

I'm continuing to try to overcome my fish phobia. The batter on my HM battered cod was outstanding, the fish was...fishy textured but fortunately cod doesn't taste of much. Have never tried plaice, so thought i'd give that a go next week.

Well heres this weeks plan for us:-

Saturday - Chicken drumsticks in HM BBQ sauce (marinating in fridge now - yum) with HM Egg Fried Rice & Stir-fry veggies & noodles (littles love them plus DD2 does not notice the courgette when sliced up julliene - he he)

Sunday - At MIL's so no idea what that will be

Monday - HM Lasagna (with 3 hidden veg) served with peas & sweetcorn & HM wholemeal rolls

Tuesday - Roast Chicken, Roasties, Yorkshires, Carrots, Brocolli, Peas & other veg dependent on what veg shop has in.

Wednesday - HM Chicken Nuggets, Noodles & Stir-fry veggies.

Thursday - HM Chicken & Leek Pie (made with leftover meat from Tues), Roasties, Carrots, Brocolli & another veg TBD

Friday - Steak, HM Oven Chips, Peas, Sweetcorn & Mushrooms

Saturday - HM Pizza (toppings to be decided usually mushroom, onion, sweetcorn and ham or chicken)

Breakfasts - usually cereal, porridge or toast with fruit juice. Little usually like a sliced apple afterwards.

Lunches - Pack lunch types. Sandwiches, crackers, fruit, yoghurt. May make batch of 3 bean & pasta soup for me.

Snacks - Rice-cakes, HM cakes & biccies, fruit

Puddings - not have them everynight, littles usually have yoghurt or jelly & yoghurt (provided enough of their tea has been eaten).

Most of the stuff in - Drumsticks were from freezer as will be bolognaise for lasagna, Chicken Nuggets and steaks. Still got half pack of fresh lasagna sheets in freezers too. Bread is HM. Have all baking ingredients that I need apart from eggs.

So should only need to buy:- Whole chicken, Eggs, Milk, fruit & veg. Just as well as only have £20 of budget left for next week!

THis is going great :-) It's helped so much being part of this forum. Have managed to keeep to the meal plans so well. Even on the days when I had to deviate, I deviated within what I already had in the house, and didn't go and shop :-)

For this week, we run something like this.

Saturday. Chicken burgers and rolls
Sunday. Salad based on bread with stuff to make sandwhiched with.
Monday. Roast Chicken, roast poatatoes,2 veg.
Tuesday. Fish (fish fingers for non eaters) HM chips, Peas.
Wednesday. Hamburger casserole, two veg.
Thursday. Sausages, mash, baked beans
Friday. Macaroni cheese, HM bread.

That's about it :-)

Well hear goes my weeks main meals, veg as always depends what is in and needs using. Also depends on weather when comes to salads etc. Some days may be switched around but have planned based on what time I have each day so far. Alternatives in for when the boys can't/won't have what we are. Stacks of cereals etc in for breakfasts aswell as fruit and yoghurt. Lunches will be salads, baked potatoes, sandwiches etc.

Saturday - Jamaican Jerk Chicken, peppers and onions, tortillas & mango salsa
Sunday - Quorn fillet and baked potato (DP away)
Monday - Brisket roast with veg etc
Tuesday - Chicken kebabs with veg & pita breads
Wednesday - Thai style fish and rice
Thursday - Ravioli in tomato and veg sauce with garlic bread
Friday - Sirloin steaks with potato wedges, onion rings & veg

Hopefully shopping list to go with that (have most of it in especially main parts of meals) will be small, another closer to her budget for the month than she likes to be
