Need top up shop for milk and bread but hope to make everything else stretch out this week. Snacks will be remains of Easter eggs, apples, bananas, grapes and sultanas.Have made some changes as forgot I had pate and have run out of flour. Chili beans in spicy tomato sauce were bought a while ago in error so experimenting with them as a base with pasta in cheese sauce as the topping. Have made them healthier by adding grated courgette and carrots. Have made tomato sauce in advance so tomorrow just have to make the meatballs from the sausages in freezer.

Thursday- LO Chorizo mince with LO rice and spring rolls
Friday- Paella type dish with cooking bacon and hard boiled eggs

The LO beef will feature heavily next week

I'll need to buy eggs, butter, margarine,noodles for lunches, veg and potatoes as we have next to no eggs left and I'm out of potatoes all together
I have my fingers crossed that there will be an Aldi voucher tomorrow so that I can have a good stock up to try to get through the month.

Brown Sugar Pulled Chicken

1 kg chicken thighs
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt and black pepper
1 tsp tarragon (although I usually use oregano or whatever I have on hand)

glaze - mix 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (or cider vinegar if it's all you have), 1 tbsp cornflour.

Put the chicken thighs in the SC with the water, seasoning and herb. Cook on high for about two and a half hours.
Mix the glaze ingredients in a saucepan and heat until thickened. Pour this over the chicken in the slow cooker and toss. Cook for another hour on low.
Remove chicken from slow cooker, pull apart with forks, and serve with rice, noodles, pitta bread or whatever you fancy


F - Out for dinner
S - Tuna and sweetcorn burgers w/sweet pot wedges(?) Tuna pasta?
