And Monday we're off to Gatwick to drop our Norwegian visitors!!

Saturday - SC Beef Tikka Masala, Steamed Rice and Salad
Sunday - Buffet Lunch with Christening Cake & Lasagne, Garlic Bread and Salad for Dinner.

The meals over the weekend will all be adjusted to suit dietary requirements!

The Buffet is make your own Baguettes with everything you can think of as fillings, with Salad and Crudities and dip, and sausage rolls and cocktail sausages for the kiddies.


Dessert is Christening Cake (Chocolate Noah's Arc made by a friend) and Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes, plus Fresh Fruit for those who can't eat sugar

The HUGE lasagne (plus a smaller one) are half made. I bulk made the cheese sauce and the meat sauce, so I have fresh Pasta sheets and it just needs to be assembled

Wish me luck!!

Just reading your weekly plan made me feel tired...good luck!

I need to tighten the belt this month as it is 16 days to pay day and funds are low. Have fallen off the meal planning a bit so my plan is a use up, frugal attempt to feed four adults including lunches for this week.
Sunday - Pea and Ham soup with crusty french stick (french stick is a day old so will dampen it and place in oven for couple of mins before serving)
Monday - Keema curry with Dhal and rice
Tuesday - Pasta carbonara using up the last half packet of Sainsbugs value smoked bacon
Wednesday - Japanese special baked rice (a blue dragon jar) with duck
Thursday - Toad in the hole with veggies and mash
Friday - Fish (2 salmon portions and two sole) with mushy peas carrots and mash
Saturday - Eggs - however everyone wants to cook them as generally all out and about
Sunday - Roast turkey with all the trimmings

Hoping to keep spends to a minimum so should only need milk and bread.

It's a s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d chicken this week - although we won't be eating all of it this week, some will make it into the freezer for next week!

S - roast chicken dinner
M - chicken leg salad
T - chicken & chorizo risotto
W - jacket potato, beans & cheese
T - HM cornish pasty (will be travelling so easy to eat en route)

We're away for about 10 days or so from Thursday evening so won't be meal planning as much. We only have a small freezer box in our motorhome so will get in as much food as I can take with us but most will have to be bought whilst we're away.

I've made a chicken tagine this morning which will go into the freezer to take away from LO chicken. I have enough chicken left to make another meal but am waiting to hear from DH whether he'd rather I make a pie or a curry (I expect he'll say pie but I'd rather have a curry!).

T - Chicken & ham pot pies
Fri - Sun - Visiting friends so no cooking, if we're hungry when we get back home on Sunday night will be HM lasagne from the freezer.
