    Is this the one from iceland? I've just seen it's on offer so I've added a couple to my cart for delivery at the end of the week. Not tried it before so hope it's nice - looked low fat.

    I picked up some frozen sweet pot mash and steam bag veg as well as I've a busy couple of weeks coming up, so fancied getting in a few quick and easy meals.

  • Tonight was Bacon and Potato Chowder from Tesco Recipes - was really delicious.

    Changed plan a bit because I went to Mr T's today and got a family ready meal of mince and potatoes for £2, down from £6, so we'll be having that this week. :j

    Also on the menu:

    Fish in batter
    Chicken casserole
    Beef and chorizo pie
    Pancakes (DD request)
    Fried rice with l/o chicken and prawns, if I need another meal.

    DD2 (age 6) has decided she's a vegetarian, so that will be interesting! don't think she's eaten any meat for a fortnight now.
