  • The plan for this week.

    Sunday was roast chicken dinner
    Monday rubber chicken enchiladas
    Tuesday rubber chicken pasta
    Wednesday kedgeree
    Thursday quern curry, rice & chappati
    Friday sausage and mash
    Sunday balsamic tomato pasta
    Sunday fish and chips.
  • So our week looks like this;

    Lunches: Fridge gravel soup (made with bendy carrots, parsnips and celery. Then threw in a couple of onions, sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Then spices etc) Corned beef and onion pasty, and chocolate brownies. This should keep the tribe going.

    Sun; Sausage stuffed squash with steamed greens and broccoli. (Got a box full of small squash at the market for next to nothing!)

    Mon; Herb grilled lamb chops, bacon and blue cheese potato gratin, steamed broccoli and cabbage.

    Tue; Smokey lentil chilli tacos with Mexican rice, refried beans, salad, salsa, guacamole and sour cream.

    Wed; Pan fried rib eye with double stuffed jackets and courgette & asparagus salad.

    Thurs; Cider-braised chicken thighs with pearl barley and wilted garlic greens.

    Fri; Tadka dahl, coconut chutney, carrot&onion bhajis, herb salad and chapattis.

    Sat; Chicken, leek and mushroom pie with steamed greens, mashed potato and roasted roots.

    Hope everyone has a good week :)

    THURS: HM chicken pie with potato wedges and peas for kids, green Thai chicken curry for the adults (Sainsb thai sauce, coconut cream from a hard block so it keeps for ages, mix with hot water - add chicken, mini corn, green peppers or green beans)
    Oh I absolutely love a thai curry.. been so long since I had one though, cos I only need to think about coconut milk/cream and I put on three stones :(

    Funnily enough, we stocked up on our porridge oats and sultanas this morning.

    Breakfasts: Bacon thins for my OH; porridge for our daughter and either porridge or just a banana for me.

    Lunches: packed lunch for daughter (thin with sliced ham and cucumber, boiled egg, yogurt, fruit and a mini cheese), and whatever's in the freezer for us.

    Dinners: Bolognese, Spanish chicken, BBQ pulled pork, chicken fried rice.

    Plenty of fruit for snacks. And olives for OH (yuck).

    I've got HM yoghurt with oats and dried fruit to make over night

    You're making your yoghurt overnight ? How ?
    I have tried making yoghurt in the past but it was to watery.

    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    You just mix milk powder with hot water then add a few tablespoons of left over live yoghurt.
    I keep a few spoon fulls from the previous batch.
    I do one part milk powder to 4 parts water for thin yoghurt and 3 parts milk powder to 4 parts water for thick more greek style.

    It takes 8 hours on the bench. I make this during the day on a Sunday then before bed I weigh out 120g of it, add 40 grams of oats and 30g of dried fruit.
    Then just grab a spoon and tuck in on the morning when I don't have much time.
