12-16kg :eek:


Is your oven big enough????

:rotfl: just, it is only about 5cm from the top of the oven :eek:
I normally only get a 5-8kg one

If we get sick of eating it I will freeze it until say easter :rotfl:

Still got quite a bit of meat and bits left from pre-Christmas in the freezer, even OH agrees we should be able to go another week at least without a top-up shop - a revelation!:beer:

Have been determined to have a greater variety of meals, and eliminate the ones, that are a bit meh or too much of a faff so I've been trawling sits and coming up with a list of new recipes. Have got the soda bread from A Girl called Jack in the oven now so will see how that one goes :eek:

Mon - Special Fried Rice with LO chicken, prawns & red pork from freezer
Tues - Mushroom risotto (my first attempt, wish me luck!)
Weds - Honey mustard chicken pasta
Thurs - Chicken & cashew stirfry
Fri - Cheese & ham quesadillas, sticky toffee pudding
Sat - Possible meal out or takeaway with friends
Sun - Veg curry & rice

Mm, some of your meals sound delicious to me. I wish I could be a guest on Tuesday and Wednesday, would save me meal planning until Thursday too.....;) :rotfl:

Thanks Lostinrates! Can I link recipes here? Both of them are just from the BBCgoodfood website - hang on and I'll see if I can find them...

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5605/falafel-burgers

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1841634/warm-quinoa-salad-with-grilled-halloumi

voila!!

The falafel burgers particularly are super easy and if you keep canned ones in are a very quick store cupboard meal...

And for SKaboo - both of these are veggie (I think! If there's any ref to chicken stock you can always switch to veggie).

DS made falafel at school, and wants to try again for us to try at home (he scoffed it)... So thanks for the links
