Mexican Quorn mince with spanish omelette
This turned into [STRIKE]Paprika Quorn chicken with rice[/STRIKE], which was vile. So will actually stick to the Mexican idea at some point
LMc Tuscan fillets, jacket potato and green beans
Veggie Caribbean stew with gungo peas and rice
Celery and butterbean parmigiana
This may now have to be [STRIKE]leek and butterbean with orzo [/STRIKE]as i have no celery at the mo until Friday, and i have already soaked the butterbeans
Quorn Peppered steaks, cauliflower, brocolli and new potatoes.
As always, subject to change as not sure if DD1 will eat some of these. DD2 definitely won't and already has her own limited menu, as she is a proper Miss Fussy pants
I succumbed to a takeaway last night as i really didn't feel good at all. This only happens once in a blue moon, so onwards and upwards.
