Meal Plans WB 2nd December

Options
So I may not be following the meal plan religiously, but sometimes with having the baby I can't be bothered to cook big meals and we end up with something simple instead. But we are not having take-aways or ready meals or spending extra money... so a big success in my books :)


Sunday - Roast Chicken, Yorkshire Puds & Veg
Monday - Cottage Pie
Tuesday - Chicken Korma
Wednesday - Cottage Pie Toasties
Thursday - LO Chicken Korma
Friday - HM Pepperoni & Tuna/Onion Pizzas and Salad
Saturday - HM Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas


Good Luck this week x
We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

  • Last week plan went ok - swapped around a few days, so nothing wasted and only fruit, milk and bread / rolls bought. Freezer still ful enough for this week - considering buying a 25kg sack of spuds from a farm, and stocking up on chicken-factory chicken. this week I'm still 5:2-ing :( not convinced it's working, perhaps my concept of 'eating normally' on 5 days, isn't normal. not much else is normal in this house :D
    so -

    Sunday - Lunch - french toast cheese and tomatos Tea - chicken kievs, roast tatties and parsnips, carrots and peas

    Monday - 500Kcal day for me - Lunch - Lentil Soup, with Oatcakes for OH, Tea - Omelettes

    Tuesday - Lunch - Falafel in a naan, Tea - Mixed Veggie and Beef Goulash with Dumplings

    Wednesday - 500Kcal day for me - Lunch - Corn Chowder Tea - Stir-fry prawns, veggies and noodles, sweet and sour sauce

    Thursday - Lunch - Veggie burgers Tea -Spaghetti Marinara

    Friday - Lunch - Prawns in a wrap Tea - Veggie shepherds Pie for OH, Veggie Cannelloni for me

    Saturday - Lunch - Cheesy Leek Pie, Tea - pork chops, actifry chips and red cabbage

    Hi JulieGeorgiana,

    If you don't mind me asking but what are Cottage Pie Toasties?

    Something my mum made up! Basically it's leftover cottage pie in a toastie... We use the meat & veg inside (potato makes it a bit bland so we stopped using it), so it's a lot like a Cornish pastie :)

    I make a cottage pie for 6 and set aside 2 portions (minus potato) to feed 4 people Toasties, just a way to make it stretch.

    It's a firm favourite in this house... So much so we've had discussions of not having cottage pie and just having toasties for 3 days :/
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    Change to plan already! We'd planned on having some bubble & squeak with egg last night but didn't have it so plan needs to change.

    Will leave out the mini toad in the hole and move cauli cheese to Tuesday and have the B&S, egg, bacon, beans, mushrooms tonight instead. Sausages can stay in the freezer for a while longer!
