  • Well I almost stuck to my plan last week so it's working for once! Not been shopping yet for this week but will do that either tomorrow or Tuesday, still got enough for a couple of days meals. So, the plan is:

    Saturday - lunch: salad, tea: out
    Sunday - lunch: avocado pasta, tea: fish curry
    Monday - lunch: chicken, veg & noodles, tea: home late, will just grab something quick when I get in
    Tuesday - lunch: salad, tea: lamb with spicy aubergines
    Wednesday - lunch: lamb and salad pitta, tea: salmon with lentil & rice salad, beetroot
    Thursday - lunch: leftover lentil & rice salad with added veg, tea: chicken casserole
    Friday - lunch: leftover casserole, tea: greek lamb stew

    All subject to change due to slightly unpredictable week and depending on supermarket actually having everything I want!

    Have a good week everyone.

    2. fish with parsley sauce with mashed potato/swede
    3. roast chicken dinner, roasties, HM stuffing -TWICE as we love it:D
    4. HM savoury meat pie
    5. thai salmon for me/chilli for hubby
    6. corned beef hash with dumplings
    All served with heaps of broccoli, carrots, cabbage, nobbies, celeriac, peas n sweetcorn -in varying quantities...
    Have figured its easier to know what im going to have for the week..but not have a set day in mind... depends on weather and my mood :D
    -6 -8 -3 -1.5 -2.5 -3 -1.5-3.5
  • This week my plan looks like this......

    Sunday: Chicken, Roasties, Broccoli, Green Beans, Stuffing
    Monday: Chicken and Veg Pie (yesterdays leftovers) and mash
    Tuesday: Beef Curry & Noodles
    Wednesday: Egg, HM Chips & Beans
    Thursday: Tuna pasta bake
    Friday: Sausages, mash and onion gravy

    I don't have a Saturday to do this week as we're going away, self-catering, on Saturday for a week which means I do have to think about next week though..........

    So, also this week I'll be making and freezing Tomato & Bean Soup and Chilli Con Carne to take with us. I have all the makings for a fish pasta bake, pizza and toppings for baked potatoes while we're away.

    I did my weekly butchers and grocers shop yesterday so I think I'm all set.
    Let's see if I can manage to do it this week - I've made plans for a while but seem unable to stick to them - I thought if I wrote it down here I'm less likely to fall off the wagon.......!!:o
