Money's a bit tight this month (when isn't it!) but I've got lots of food in, so I find making a plan helps to keep the costs down and use up what we have.
S - Out for dinner at parent's
M - Lamb curry with rice (F)
T - Lasagne (F)
W - Spaghetti with spinach, bacon and Quark NOW - Bacon and mushroom risotto
T - Fajitas
F - Spaghetti with spinach, bacon and Quark NOW - Spaghetti bolognese
S - Pizza (F)
All I need to buy is mushrooms, Quark and spinach. I think I'll make some soup for lunches as they weather's cooler, either a carrot and lentil or corn chowder, depending on what's on offer.
Edit - I couldn't get frozen spinach or Quark in the supermarket, so I'll have to change the plan!0 -
Need to get back into the habit this week, so starting from today...
S- Moorish pork kebabs with garlic bread
M- Chicken Katsu Curry & rice
T - Bacon & cheese burgers
W- Potato, leek & bacon soup
