Meal Plans W/B 17th June

As I got very organised this week and have the meal plan and shopping list done for this week thought I would start us off. We have also been very good at sticking to the meal plan this week and taking packed lunches all week which is just as well as shopping budget was over by £8 last week, though to be fair it has been under budget for several weeks so can live with the slight glitch.

Saturday - Steak in Pepper Sauce with Rosti Potatoes and Veg

Sunday - Ravioli in a veg soup with Garlic Bread

Monday - Chilli & Rice

Tuesday - Cod wrapped in Bacon with Salad and Noodles

Wednesday - Chicken Quesiladas

Thursday - Beef Chow Mein

Friday - Jambalaya

Breakfasts will be breakfast muffins, cereal bars, fruit

Lunches will be wraps, sandwiches and left overs

Looking forward to seeing everyones meal plans and gaining inspiration from them.

    Thanks for starting this Tealady, i think i will be having a week of using freezer bits up; but i am lacking inspiration this week as i would have normally had my plan done by now ... anyway, i don't want to be hogging the thread all the time, by starting it :rotfl:. I have a few meals wrote down, so will have a look over the weekend and come up with something a bit more concrete.

    OK, I take that back - they've actually been very good this time. The only minor problem is that the fishcakes are very short dated and have to go straight into the freezer, but that's actually a good thing as it's prompted me to throw out a tub of a dodgy curry that I made and froze hoping it would taste better later on - of course it was never going to, and the bin's really the only place for it! :o
