    Mon - tuna sweetcorn pasta/chili con carne with rice
    Tues - tuna sweetcorn pasta/roast chicken
    Wed - chicken pesto pasta with cherry tomatoes/stir frydh cooking so changed to fajitas
    Thurs - chicken pesto pasta/chicken in mushroom sauce with rice
    Fri - frittata/courgette pesto pasta

    Finding making lunches every night a pain so trying to make a large batch to do two days. A little boring but gives me a bit more time.
    Using cereal bars as desert in the lunch boxes but this week also making chocolate krispies with raisins.
    Store cupboard now getting very low although some baked beans and chick peas left. Think chick pea curry could be on next week's list.
