Meal plan WC 27/04

Options
I couldn't find a thread so I'll start us off.

Sunday- Spam fritter, chips and peas. Our fakeaway :)
Monday- Chorizo spicy mince in wraps
Tuesday- Oxtail stew with herby dumplings
Wednesday- TITH with any veg that needs used up
Thursday- Jambalaya with spring rolls
Friday- Fish, chips and mushy peas
Saturday- Pasta bake with garlic bread

I've got everything in except peppers so I am hoping for a low spend week.
Breakfasts will be muesli, benefit which is Aldis special K or porridge. Lunches will be chicken noodle soup as I have 2 carcasses in the freezer. Rest of the week lunches will be cheesy jacket potatoes and beans or quiche.
Snacks will be HM yoghurt with dried fruit or hm shortbread

Have a good week everyone, where is Julieg? :(

    Sunday - Falafels, hummus, wraps, cous cous
    Monday - Chicken, chorizo and pepper jambalaya
    Tuesday - Chana masala with parathas - OH is away for work so I will probably just have something from the freezer.
    Weds - Lamb in port with parsnips and sweet pot mash
    Thurs - Tuna pasta bake
    Friday - My boss is cooking for me
    Saturday - Going to see the Book of Mormon for OHs birthday (he LOVES musicals but theres no way he's getting me to Wicked or anything similar...) so we are going to Brasserie Zedel before :)
    Sunday - Going out to dinner to a lovely Italian for OHs birthday, with his parents :)

    May switch it around a bit depending on how much time I have, but will try to stick to these meals!

    My meal plan for this week looks like this -

    S - Pulled pork wraps with rocket
    M - Shepherd's Pie with kale
    T - Burgers on rolls with salad, corn and wedges (DH's birthday, his request)
    W - same
    T - (gig) Dim Sum
    F - Chicken fried rice with curry sauce
    S - (out with friends in afternoon, then off to a BBQ) BBQ food - not sure what to take as yet
    S - Grilled chicken pittas with salad
    M - Sweet potato topped Shepherd's Pie

    I've got everything in apart from something for the BBQ and some salad. Breakfasts will be toast, lunches will be whatever I can cobble together - it's the last week before payday for us so trying to keep costs down and use up stuff before a restock next week.

    Cor, I'd probably mix it up a bit and steer clear of having pork every day... You could just do jacket potatoes with beans or something for a couple of evenings and save the frozen pork portions into the next week.

    I'm also a bit squeamish about reheating pork or rice leftovers. My gran always used to tell me to be extra careful and it has stuck.
