I am starting to bulk cook for the freezer again so the pressure cooker and slow cooker will take a hammering.
sunday - some sort of trout en croute a la made up by merlin with parsley sauce and veg
Monday - pressure cooked cottage pie
Tuesday - hm pizza and chips
wednesday - mackerel with coconut rice and veg
thursday - pressure cooked spag bol
friday - Pork chops and cauli cheese and peas
Saturday - pressure cooked chicken and dumplings
Not necessarily in that order and lunches will most likely be pressure cooked tom soup as a pan full will do us a week. Slow cooker will be on for chicken stock. And there'll be loads of extra to go in the freezer from at least 4 of those meals too0 -
Sunday - Spinach, bacon and artichoke pasta
Monday - Lasagne
Tuesday - Fish and chips (from the freezer)
Wednesday - Fajitas
Thursday - Maybe pulled pork (had some left over from last week that we froze) with eggs and mash.
Friday - ?? Surprise!
Saturday - possibly a sneaky take out pizza, we have a £10 off voucher for Papa Johns when you spend over £20 and we can share one large so it'll work out quite cheap for a treat.
Breakfast depends on the day, if I'm working a long day I take a cereal bar into work with me, if not and I have time I get a bowl of maple pecan clusters.
Lunches again vary on the day, this week I have a pack of wraps to use though so it'll be some variant on that.£2023 in 2023 challenge - £17.79 January0 -
S - May eat with friends or have fish and chips from chippy, depending what time we get back. Otherwise probably beans on toast or one of the other days meal.
M - Bourbon beef with roast potatoes and maybe Yorkshire pudding
T- Cheese and tomato toasted sandwich
W- Prawn curry - home made with jar or sauce.
Th- Left over curry. May try homemade naan bread.
F- Out, taking sandwiches.
S- Sea bass - need to find a recipe and decide on side.
(Sorry, not completely thought out - and I can't get over the pork chop with cauliflour cheese that was suggested earlier, that sounds so delicious....)0 -
Mon - (Veg) - Cheese & Potato Bake with Baked Beans
Tues - (Chicken) - Chicken & Chorizo (Nigella Recipe)
Weds - (White Fish) - Fishcakes, Chips & Peas
Thurs - (Veg) - Mild Veg Curry & Rice with Naans
Friday - (Veg / White Fish) Spicy Beanburgers, Chips and Peas or Beans (Kids usually have Fish Fingers instead of Beanburgers)
Sat - (Red Meat) - Chilli Con Carne & Rice
Sun - (Oily Fish) - Honey Mustard Grilled Salmon with Herby Cubed Potatoes and Green Veg0 -
