Well, another good week, actually we've had so many Christmas leftovers and it's been fun trying new ways of using them up 
The food I bought for 1 day did 5 days of evening meals :eek:

My plan for this week:
Sunday - Roast Chicken, Roast Potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding and Veg
Monday - Spaghetti Bolognaise with Salad
Tuesday - LO Chicken Korma with Rice
Wednesday - Sausages, Croquettes and Beans
Thursday - LO Spaghetti Bolognaise with Salad
Friday - HM Tuna & Onion Pizza with Wedges and Salad
Saturday - Chicken Jambalaya
Sunday - McDonalds (DD1 will be celebrating her 2nd Birthday a day early with a trip to the Cinema and McDonalds)
Good Luck to Everyone this week!

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!

My youngest daughter has just become a vegetarian so I cook alternatives for her though once a week I make a meal we can all have together. I have a few different quorn products to use up but would really prefer her to have more unprocessed food but she doesn't like nuts, spices or most pulses!0 -

Hi, thought I would post my meal plan as I love reading !
Taking inspiration ( or stealing) is part of the value of sharing them, as well as helping people not used to planning ahead see how others do it.
Thank for the thread Julie georgiana. Have to admit I haven't thought much about after Monday (sorted till then). Might not post till Monday on that basis.0 -
I have done a plan for the whole month, but here is the first week
I like ten day plans, but I love the idea of a month plan. I think I'd find it really challenging though.
Easier in winter perhaps, before we're waiting for things from the garden to be ripe. Sometimes in the summer my plans are entirely frustrated by the garden or the sun's refusal to ripen something that looks so nearly ready!0 -
