Meal plans WC 11/12

Morning :santa2:

I'm like old mother hubbard this week so it is like it or lump it food wise.
Sunday-Mince and dumplings with roast potatoes & veg
Monday-Black Chick pea and mushroom curry
Tuesday-Omelettes & garlic bread
Wednesday-Steak & chips
Thursday-HM Burgers with stir fried veg
Friday-Wrap pizza
Saturday-What ever I find YS during the week or boiled egg curry

I have a few bags of green lentils so I will make a huge pan of soup for lunches and suppers.

I also have tonnes of pasta. I have tinned tomatoes and herbs & garlic so I can make a passata for lunches also.

Breakfasts will be oats/porridge or toast. I'll make a loaf this morning. I have loads of eggs so I might make a cheese & onion quiche also.

They won't starve & I need the space for my Christmas shop.

    This is my last full week at home before going away from Christmas, so I'm mostly using up batch cooked stuff from the freezer.

    Sunday - Chilli con carne and jacket potato
    Monday - Chicken breast with roast sweet potato and carrot
    Tuesday - Christmas lunch at work, so it'll probably just be a liquid dinner :-)
    Wednesday - Sausage and mixed bean casserole with a red wine sauce
    Thursday - Lasagne
    Friday - Cottage pie

    It was really nice thanks :T so nice, we've had it three times recently - once with steak as per the recipe on your blog and twice with leftover meat (once chicken and once SC pork shoulder) - the sauce works well with all of those and it's now a firm favourite in our house. :)
