Thursday-Shepherds Pie, Carrots & Cabbage
Friday-Scampi, Chips & Salad

Made a large pan of chicken and veg soup yesterday with a tiny FR chicken I bought reduced after using the main meat for a roast on sunday. There is about 10 large portions there and used 1 onion, 1 leek, 1 courgette, 2 spuds, chicken stock and added the rest of the meat and blended...delish!!

I freeze things with onions in too - I even chop and freeze raw onion ready for cooking

My meal plan is:-

Tue : Red Flannel Hash (my favourite way to eat beetroot)
Wed: Smoke pork sausage with potato salad
Thur: Omelette
Fri : Chilli Wraps
Sat: Shepherds Pie
Sun: Pasta
Mon: Toady hole

All with lots of veg to fill up so we don't crave puddings

Lunches are salads, left overs, HM chicken soup from freezer or jacket potatoes with tuna and pesto

here's mine for the next week-

Mon-Sausage casserole and rice
Tues-Cheese and potato pie, roasted tomatoes in balsamic, slow fried onions, salad
Weds-Smoked Mackeral salad, cous cous, baby roast spuds
Thurs-Thai beef curry with rice or noodles
Fri-Pasta, pesto and salad
Sat-Tuna, roast mediterranean veg

Will try and stick to this but may swap days around!;)

A bit like this

But I use tinned potatoes if I'm in a hurry - and we decided it'd be best with beans as it can be a little dry on its own depending on the beetroot. Oh and flipping it over didn't work for me, so I grill the top instead
