Kittenkirst - your post had me and DH in laughter! As a family of 5 we wouldn't eat even half that veg!! Glad he's not been demoted to ex for it

I couldn't be too annoyed with him as he was dead pleased with himself for getting veggies (& lots of reduced price meat too) I have however explained a bit more about portion sizes e.g. That in a week I would usually use a bag of green beans, or sugar snap peas or Mangetout but not all three!

The cod with chorizo crust is sooooooo yummy! We have it on a fairly regular basis. Will let u know how I get on with the chicken one. I thoroughly recommend both books. Although I dont use them as diet plan. Just pick main meals out of them

I've still got a gap on Saturday, it's just me and DD1 eating. I'm having HM Tzaziki on Friday and I never eat more then half and it ends up in the bin. I suddenly thought that falafel goes well with Tzaziki and pitta bread, but I've never had it...

I've got chickpeas so I'm hoping not to buy anything...

Anyone had falafel? Are they nice? Anyone recommend a recipe?

I know it's tuesday, but i'm on catch up. Starting on Sunday, cos that's when my working week starts (shift worker here).
Sun: Roast pork, roasties, cabbage, yorkshires and gravy. The crackling turned out perfect!
Mon: We were supposed to have YS venison casserole, but DH had put it in the fridge instead of the freezer and it was 3 days ood, smelt a bit iffy so Fish & chips from the chippy (oops!)
Tues: HM chicken casserole with dumplings and yorkshires.
Wed: HM toad in the hole with HM chips and baked beans.
Thurs: Meatballs with HM tomato sauce and pasta.
Fri: Chinese takeaway!
Sat: Not sure yet, will need to go shopping. Looking here to get ideas!

Busy week in work so no time to make homemade soup, hope to make some next week. Lamb is a small half a leg i bought before Christmas, will have the leftovers on the Monday too.x

Mon - Tuna, Salad & New Potatoes
Tues - HM Turkey & Ham Pasties (found in freezer LO from Christmas) New Potato Wedges & Salad

So I made Mini Pizza for DD1 (slight change to the menu for her) I managed to make 10 from a batch of dough. I priced up the dough and ingredients and they come to 14p a pizza!!! I made them with 50% wholewheat and 50% white flour, passata, morzorella and cheddar. So nice and heathy for her

She had 1 pizza with mango and HM Yogurt for dessert



I managed to get 6 in the freezer... My boys are gannets!
