    Hi Soworried! Jambalaya sounds amazing! What do you put in yours? I've never tried to make one but it sounds lovely!

    Thanks for starting us off this week Soworried

    I'm off work sick and so will not be going shopping this week. I'm living out of cupboards/freezer with a friend bringing me milk later in the week. Thankfully I have got plenty in

    I've got

    in freezer -

    2 southern fried chicken grills
    2 garlic chicken kievs
    1 portion HM chilli
    1 portion HM meatballs in tomato sauce
    2 medallion steaks
    4 chicken breasts
    oven chips
    skinny fries
    oven roast potatoes
    frozen veg
    sliced bread & bread rolls

    In store cupboard -

    quick cook spagetti
    micro rice
    curry sauce
    hunters chicken sauce
    fresh onions
    tin chicken & veg soup
    tin beans
    tin sweetcorn
    4 large potatoes
    tin tomatoes

    In fridge

    fresh broccoli
    cheese
    milk
    butter
    peppers & corgettes
    butternut squash

    I'm not sure what I will eat on which day as it depends what/if I fancy eating ....but I can throw together some quick easy meals from that lot ...so am thinking:

    1. chicken kiev or chicken grill, chips & sweetcorn
    2. steak, skinny fries, sweetcorn
    3. chicken breast, roast potatoes, veg & gravy
    4. hunters chicken, potato wedges or jacket potato & roasted veg
    5. chicken curry & rice
    6. steak & stir fry peppers & corgettes & rice
    7. HM meatballs with rice or spagetti

    Breakfast/Lunches will be toast with marmite or cheese or beans, soup, jacket potatoes

    Hi Soworried! Jambalaya sounds amazing! What do you put in yours? I've never tried to make one but it sounds lovely!

    It is a favourite in this house :j
    The beauty of it is that you can throw in what ever needs used up.

    I fry off some onions, garlic and a red pepper. Then I add left over or pre cooked rice and a teaspoon of paprika. Add a cup of stock and a grind of black pepper.
    Throw in what ever meat you need to use, we like LO chicken and chorizo. Stir fry for 5-6 mins and then add a handful of peas and fry for another 2 minutes.

    I've even made this with boiled eggs instead of meat as a veggie version :)
