    Okay, trying to get back on track (very long post christmas slump at this house!)

    Simple week this week (Mon - Thurs):

    Breakfast - Oats, HM yogurt, Blueberries, Bananarama.

    Lunch - 2x Soup, Roll, babybel. 2x Slimming World ready meals.

    Dinner - 2x chicken sausage, Root Mash, Steamed veg. 2 x Steak, HM wedges, beans (maybe an egg).

    Snacks - Pears, Grapes, sugar free jelly with raspberries.

    Drinks - Black coffee, Fruit tea, water.
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

  • As it is half term the kids have had input into the plan
    HM Turkey and apricot burgers, wedges and salad
    English breakfast
    Fish finger wraps, chips and beans
    Singapore Hainaise Rice
    Chilli, rice and nachos
    Roast chicken dinner
    Jamie's lasagna
    Lunch is sandwiches or sausage rolls. Breakfast is cereal or toast. Fruit for snacks, we will have pudding one night not sure which but I have a few in the freezer so need to eat them.
  • Some lovely ideas on here. pm2326 do you have a recipe for sausage & lentils?

    Bit of a loose plan for us this week, nothing assigned to days really.

    Breakfast will be overnight oats/toast/maybe other cereal. Made some egg-free mini pancakes that are in the freezer for the baby. Sometimes she'll have rice cakes and we'll usually share a satsuma or two.

    Lunches: bought a few tins of tuna cheap in Hme Bgns the other day so will have a pitta or wrap with tuna and salad, hard boiled egg, and a yoghurt.

    Then for evenings:

    Sausage, mash & veg
    Pasta & meatballs
    All day breakfast (scrambled eggs, beans, toast, mushrooms)
    Takeaway one night as it's my birthday :)

    And then I'll probably go food shopping either Thursday or at the weekend I imagine...
  • Not got quite the whole week sorted yet, still on a using up time from cupboards and freezer

    Breakfasts ~ porridge for me, cereal for OH.

    Lunches ~ soups/pitta with tuna for me, apple and yoghurt.

    Tea:

    Tuesday ~ home-made pizza
    Weds ~ tomato Quorn mince sauce with gnocchi
    Thursday ~ chicken ie mx from freezer, probably topped with sliced potato and veg
    Fri ~ chicken kiev and wedges for OH, either same for me or pasta and veg with pesto and low fat cream cheese stirred through.

    Still using up courgette and runner bean mountain from the allotment last summer.....
