Hi

I've now decided to divide the meals up so they become varied as follows if possible

Roast Day
Meat Day
Fish Day
Rice Day
Pasta Day
Snack Day
Other day (which could be anything).

This is the first time I've planned ahead and this coming week we are having

Roast Lamb & all the trimmings
Fresh Tuna/Tomato Stew with Rice or Crusty Bread & Salad
Shepherds Pie/Veg
Chilli Salmon Tagliatelle (a new recipe)
Chicken/Ham & Cheese burgers
Spanish Stew with Crsuty Bread
Sausages & Mash

Feels good to be organised - especially as went through the cupboards and checked what I already had before shopping!

The tomato bread is a basic white bread recipe with chopped sundried tomatoes, herbs, garlic, and olive oil.
There are loads of bread recipes on the net, i even found one for marmite bread, and chocolate bread LOL!
This is a good place to start: http://www.kenwoodworld.com/uk/experience_recipes.php?category=17

Kaz, why no join in on the Meal Plan thread? PenPin starts a new one each Saturday http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=489832

Try this for putting items together to make a meal with what you have in the food cupboard: http://www.cookingbynumbers.com/frames.html

Another tip: instead of trying to write out a week or month of menu plans, just write on your calendar or in your diary what you had that day ... do that every day and at the end of a year ... you have 52 wks worth of menu plans to carry you through the next year!

Queenie, what an amazingly good idea! I am going to do this as from today - as Sherlock Holmes says, genius always seems simple when it is explained!':T :T :T

Any chance of you posting your monthly menu MrsFF ???

How much do you spend per week in addition to your monthly stock up ???

msflowerfairy

I spend £20 a week extra, for stuff like milk, cat food, potatoes, etc.
I will post a new thread tommorow with my monthly menu.
