    Well after 5 days of being cooked for I best get organised in what I am cooking, problem being away for one week is stacks of appointments etc this week (usually a couple a week but have 8 this week now already booked possibly more) anyway, will plan around those but may have to switch a few depending on time etc.

    I'm also working from freezer, did buy some chicken today as we'd ran out and go through a lot of chicken aswell as a few other things but determined to keep in budget this month so must use up some things, especially that lamb I got cheap as still some left! Alternatives there for the kids when needed, got DSs some fish & chicken today aswell.

    Sunday - Toad in the hole with veg and mash
    Monday - Out with support group so will get something there
    Tuesday - Canneloni with garlic bread & salad (seeing as my lettuce is looking yummy!)
    Wednesday - Jerk Chicken with peppers, onions, tortillas and mango salsa
    Thursday - Lamb casserole in SC, dumplings and mash
    Friday - Quorn fillet with wedges and veg (turkey fillet for DP and DS1)
    Saturday - Prawn with veg curry & rice for me, DP and kids HM burgers with chips etc
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Hello everyone!
    had a bad few weeks letting things slide - in a low mood which affects kitchen inspiration which leads to ODing on carbs which has led to lower mood, lardiness, lower mood, binge-eating, lower mood, no exercise, etc, etc, etc.... SO here is my mood-boosting anti-lardy week's plan.
    Lunches - HM soup or HG salads with cottage cheese or tuna and lots and lots of red and yellow peppers for me. Packed lunches with decent sandwich fillings (egg & bacon/bacon & avocado/smoked salmon & cream cheese/cold sausage & HM chutney/tuna&pesto mayo/cold roast beef &HM horseradish mayo) for DH and similar sandwiches with crudites and HM smoothies for DS1&2.
    Suppers
    Sunday: Roast beef with aubergine/pepper/cherry tom kebabs & roast new pots
    Monday: Ricotta & spinach quiche with avocado & rocket salad (& new pots for boys)
    Tuesday: Baked fish & ribbon veg parcels
    Wednesday: HM gazpacho for me, left-over roast beef & roasted pepper wraps for boys
    Thursday: HM Meatballs with pasta (courgette ribbons for me)
    Friday: Roast cod on puy lentils & tomato & red onion salad
    Saturday: Lamb chops with minted peas & feta cheese

    Baking: lemon & raisin bars, sultana loaf, banana loaf, carrot cupcakes, chocolate shreddies
    Is it home time yet?

    Sproggi-what do you stuff your cabbage leaves with? Then what do you do with them? Sound like something interesting to try...

    Sorry Katzen, only just seen this, been busy cleaning up behind the workmen:mad:

    Stuffed cabbage leaves:

    approx 16 cabbage leaves (depending on size)
    around half a cup of rice that has been very lightly cooked
    2tbsps oil (olive/sunflower)
    1 large chopped onion
    1lb mince (beef,pork and lamb all work well)
    pinch of herbs
    1 pint stock (I sometimes substitute with tinned tomatoes)
    2 bay leaves
    2 tsps chopped parsley for garnish

    Place cabbage leaves into boiling water and simmer (covered) for 2-3 mins, drain and leave to cool

    Stir fry the onion in the oil until transparent.

    Mix the mince, onion, rice and herbs(not bay) together.

    Lay out cabbage leaves (if they are small overlap 2) put spoonful of filling into each leaf, then fold sides of leaf into middle and roll into small parcels.

    Place the parcels side by side into an ovenproof dish so that they are tight together, if the dish is too large, you can use things like carrots to fill in the gaps.

    Bring stock to boil and pour over the parcels, add bay leaves, cover and cook for approx 1 hour 350F/180C/mark 4.

    I serve them on a bed of rice or cous cous and cover with something like a mushroom or tomato sauce.
