    My meal plan for this week begins tomorrow -

    Sunday: Roast Chicken dinner (using chicken portions as only two of us and I never ever use up a full chicken) including stuffing, vegetables and potatoes.

    Monday: Ham & Mushroom omelette, salad with new potatoes.

    Tuesday: Goats Cheese Omelette served with ratatouille & Jacket Potatoes.

    Wednesday: Pizza, Salad & Garlic Bread

    Thursday: Sausages, vegetables & potatoes

    Friday: Smoked mackerel, peas & potatoes

    Saturday: Store cupboard/freezer surprise.

    Should not need to spend a great deal of money on food this month as menu is using up food I have in already.:D

    Evening all! Menu plan for us, starting tomorrow instead is....:

    Sat: Burrito and hm chips
    Sun: HM Pizza
    Mon: Bubble & Squeak with sausage
    Tue: Chicken Tortillas
    Wed: Fried rice with honeyed pork steaks
    Thur: Chicken pasta bake
    Fri: Easy dinner - cheese on toast or soup with bread


    Well this has all gone wonky so far but I do still feel in control...

    Sat: I forgot we had planned a meal out
    Sun: Mr Shortie didn't fancy pizza so he 'mega bulk-beaned' the chilli mix up (windy city here we come :rotfl:) and we had chilli con carni instead, made up a batch (ie 4) of enchilladas and froze them for next week and had spares left to freeze two portions of nacho topping - way to go Mr Shortie!
    Mon: Back on track and bubble and squeak, plus sausages defrosting for dinner tonight - god help work tomorrow after two days of high fibre :rotfl::rotfl:

    I've lost the plot with ours lol! I didn't start well that I forgot we were eating out on our first night then Mr Shortie didn't fancy what was planned on the second (but in his defense cooked something else, we didn't have take away...

    Then on Monday night the sausages were left out to defrost and one of the cats got them (grrrr)

    Then pasta bake last night and again tonight as we had lots left over. Oh and no mince on the plan this week but Mr Shortie took mince out yesterdau to defrost

    <sigh> I think it's fair to say we haven't stuck to a single day this week lol
