I am trying really hard to stick to budget this month. Shopped in Ald* last Thursday and am hoping to try and stretch what we have until the weekend (apart from milk and maybe a small fruit/veg top-up) rather than shopping on Thursday again as I usually do.
Anyway, it's school holidays here this week and next and not sure what we will be doing each day so have a list of meals planned but not allocating them to specific days and will just see what suits depending on what we are doing.
Chilli, rice and tortilla chips with cheese & sour cream (made this yesterday and will just heat and eat later...plenty for freezer for another time too)
Pesto filled ravioli & salad
Sausage, mash, veg & onion gravy
Breaded fish, hm wedges & peas
Gnocchi with garlic mushroom sauce
Beef kofta curry, rice & naan
Breakfasts will be pancakes, bagels, toast or smoothies.
Lunches will be hm leek & potato soup, ham salad rolls, pitta, houmous & veg sticks or oatcakes with cheese & chutney.
DS1 has also asked to bake biscuits so will do those and maybe a banana bread or muffins later in week.0 -

Change to plan already! Forgot I had a cauliflower in the fridge, so will need to use it this week. It's quite big so enough for 2 meals for me and DH.
Tuesday - stew will now stay in freezer and we'll have a cauliflower cheese
Thursday - instead of the jacket potato & beans we'll be having cauliflower dansk & rice

[STRIKE]Mackerel pasta with sweetcorn (and whatever else i can find that will go with it)[/STRIKE]
Vegetable crumble (also DD1 is making [STRIKE]pizza tartlets[/STRIKE] in FoodTech so her and Dd2 will probably have those for tea)
[STRIKE]Beans on toast/(Quorn)Croque Monsieur[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Quorn HM Lasagne with corn on the cob[/STRIKE]
