Cereal, Fruit or toast for Breakfast

Take a pack lunch to work, frozen soup, make it in batches, sandwiches and various other snacks

Dinners this week:

Mon: HM Chilli, with left over potatoes - maybe roast them
Tues - Pizza and Chips
Wed - Pasta + Sauce
Thurs - Pasta + Sauce
Fri - Pizza and Chips
Sat - Veg curry
Sun - Roast Dinner - Pastry, Vegs, Roast Potatoes

Just started working again recently and trying to get into a routine, meal planning is working ok, as long as I get to shops at weekend.

Finding freezing things in batches works wonders for me, soup for work, and I eat pasta most nights so freeze a lot of HM pasta sauce! Just made batch of chilli last night and i managed not to burn it! Pleased!

Have to say as a vegetarian its easier to cook for myself as ready meal choice is very limited and expensive! Planning to experiment with more veg sauces etc for rice and pasta so i get more variety.

I notice fish pie recipes on here. Do you guys find fish for fish pies expensive? Do you buy it in bulk frozen bags? I love fish pie but it practically bankrupts me everytime I make it.

I now buy frozen value cod or Lidl's frozen pollack - much cheaper. Although not as pretty and white as other options, you hardly see it covered in sauce and mash!! I have some frozen prawns left over so will add those too

I was given some prawns by my Mum when I moved house but had to buy fresh fish yesterday to make it in time for yesterdays dinner - it cost me over £6 just for two bits of Salmon and two bits of cod! :eek: When we empty a drawer in the freezer of leftovers I will be buying frozen Coley!

Skint_Catt - the value cod says cook from frozen
