  • I've just about finished doing my meal plan for this week, and I'm making a conscious effort to use up whatever I've got in the freezer or cupboards so here goes:

    NYE - Nibbles
    NYD - Roast Lamb, Roast Potatoes, Veg, etc
    Fri - Hot Roast Lamb Baguettes with Minty Gravy
    Sat - Meat Feast Pasta Bake
    Sun - Venison Pie with Mash & Veg
    Mon - Leftover Pie & Chips
    Tues - Chicken Curry with Rice
    Trying for daily wins, and a little security in an insecure world.

    Quesadillas are a Mexican dish consisting of tortilla wraps filled with cheese and then dry-fried in a pan to make the cheese melt. Sorry not an expert, think they can be customized quite a bit with the filling. Seen Jamie Oliver make them, so maybe do a search for a recipe?

    I cook our quesadillas on the pannini press so they toast both sides at once and I don't need any oil etc as they don't stick. You can put anything in them as long as there's a bit of grated cheese to help them stick. You don't need much filling. Our favourite is using up leftover chorizo & bean chilli, bit of cheese. I like a dollop of lite creme fraishe to cool the heat.

    Have now done some of next weeks:
    M - spaghetti bolognese & garlic flatbread
    T - left overs for me, OH at work
    W - Chicken curry, rice, naan bread
    Th - shepherds pie
    F - pulled pork & sweet potato hash

    Not sure why but can only seem to plan 4/5 days!
    Was meant to be going out Mon night but have said I will cook for my friends so that's a lot cheaper! Will cook the bolognese in the slow cooker so it's nice and easy!
    Have been inspired by the cookery book challenge so Fri night I'm cooking something new and I have slow cooked pork and sweet potatoes that need using up. The pork has been in the freezer for ages and hasn't been used so this is a win win situation!

    I stopped meal planning and as a result the grocery bill has increased so I'm starting to plan again. I want to use up what's in the freezer and cupboards as well. I am also taking part in the cookery book challenge, Mon and Fri are both from the Hairy Bikers books that I have.

    Sat - turkey curry - done
    Sun - slow cooker pheasant with a white wine and bacon sauce is still with roast potatoes green beans and carrotts
    Mon - gammon and mash with parsley sauce, sweet corn and carrots
    Tue - whole mackerel with roast veg
    Wed - Christmas dinner soup with ice cream for dessert
    Thur - tuna pasta bake
    Fri - corned beef hash with poached egg
    I am playing all of the right notes just not necessarily in the right order :D.
