Thank sounds nice McpPsl - I have some frozen cod I would like to use up this week - do you have a recipe ?


Its getting harder to meal plan as DS will only eat certain carbs at the moment due to his weightlifting "diet" - mainly sweet potato and rice


1. cod with sweet potato mash and green veg (broccoli cabbage)


2. hot and spicy pork steaks with roasted sweet potato and roasted veg (corgettes onions peppers)


3. sausages with onion gravy, sweet potato mash & green veg


4. chicken curry and rice


5. chicken tray bake - with roast sweet potato, corgettes & peppers etc with garlic and herbs


6. chicken and peppers with blackbean sauce and rice


7. probably sunday - pulled pork in the slow cooker with sweet potato home made chips & tinned sweetcorn & salad

It's the end of the month here and I've raided the freezer today and batch cooked. It's a rather beef heavy menu

Breakfasts will be greek yoghurt and a piece of fruit or oatcakes, wavers of cheese and tomatoes.

Lunches will be lentil and tomato or spicy butternut squash soup.

Dinners:

• Spaghetti bolognaise with salad side plate
• Cod roasted with veggies, herbs and lemon and wedges
• Beef and green pepper madras with rice (sc)
• Soup and pudding night (quite fancy jelly, fruit and ice-cream)
• Beef and root veg stew with dumplings
• Frittata with bacon and LO veggies, hm coleslaw and salad

I'm sure I spotted creamy cod in another thread so may do that instead.

Have a good week everyone :money:

No problem. The chicken one pot is from here http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1363634/summer-chicken-onepot
I only put 100g soft cheese in it.


The bacon hash is this recipe http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/67611/austrian-hash
I use a pack of back bacon.


They are both delicious. The bacon hash is a favourite in this house. It was the first time I had made the chicken one pot, but it turned out well.
