Thank you for getting us started for the week pm2326.
I like the sound of your oat pancakes. Could we please have the recipe?
Have a great week folks x
I use nigella's recipe and keep it in a lock & lock box. I simply switch 300g of flour for porridge oats. I normally blitz them in the food processor just to make them finer before adding to the mix.

I make a batch up on a Sunday and soon as they are cold I put them in the freezer. Take 2 out to defrost every night ready for breakfast and pop them in the toaster in the morning to reheat.
You can also add your own flavours to each batch, I'm tying to use up an open jar of mincemeat from Xmas so it's been added to last 2 batches and it's lovely!0 -

I always follow these threads with interest but never remember to post my own! So here goes:
Monday: leftover gammon, eggs and chips
Tuesday: spaghetti bologniase for me, chilli cheese bake for him (using one mince for the two!)
Wednesday: undecided
Thursday: chicken wraps with peppers, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and nachos
Friday: aldi fish cakes, chips and mushy peas
Saturday: home made pizza
Sunday: beef casserole
Will have to have a think for Wednesday - I work until 9pm so will have to be something easy for him to cook lol0 -
Monday - chicken and veg
Tuesday - cottage pie with veg
Wednesday - steak and salad
Thursday - faux spicy vegetable rice
Friday - chicken stir fry0 -
I am also trying to eat amap from the freezer/cupboards
Mon - pasta & sausage meatballs
Tues - Salmon & thai coconut rice
Wed - Soup, crusty bread, some sort of stodgy pudding
Thursday - chicken fillets, savoury rice & veg
Friday - Pasta bolognese
Saturday - Curry night, various HM curries, HM naan, shop bought starters & rice
Sunday - HM Pizza
Just some Mozarella for the pizzas needed when I shop on Thursday, plus bread, butter, milk and fruit for breakfast/lunch. should be another cheap week as Mon-Fri next week will also be mainly from stock
I hope to bring the monthly food spend in under £100 down from an average of £320. 0 -

Thank you for the recipe and tips. I'll have a go at these next weekend and hopefully get a batch for freezer breakfasts. I appear to have quite a few porridge oats in stock and have went off porridge! Time to get my hand me down food processor out to blitz some up.
Kind regards
