  • Soworried - you don't fancy turkey??? Are you surprised? It's a month past Christmas and your huge turkey is still going...

    You'll be eating it until summer...
    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!

    This week's plan looks like this:

    M - Veg chow mein with curry sauce and sui mai
    T - Pork and veg stir fry with rice and veg dumplings
    W - Spaghetti with spinach, bacon and cream cheese
    T - Same as Wed
    F - Pulled pork rolls with creamed corn
    S - Pulled pork rolls
    S - Pulled pork pizza

    I've got everything in for these, lunches will be whatever's knocking around in the back of the freezer or cupboard. I need to stop buying stuff and use what I have!
    Have a good week everyone! x

    Edit - Well so far the plan has gone comlpletely out of the window! I didn't have enough veg to to a stir fry on Tuesday, so the spaghetti got bumped up a day. Tonight was curry from the freezer, and I decided not to do the pulled pork this week, but save it for next weekend when we'll be busier. So the new plan:

    F - Chinese turkey curry with rice, dumplings and sui mai
    S - Paella
    S - Pasta with chicken in creamy mushroom sauce

    All meals are in the freezer / cupboard, so nice and easy!
