    Chicken, potato and mushroom stew with rice for lunch / dinner with left over veg from last night to bulk it out. Wouldn’t normally use the mushrooms in a stew but they need to be used up so I am just chucking them in whole. I used 4 extra large thighs and chopped it up so hopefully it stretches to 2 meals for 3 people.

    Happen to have some left over chicken. Just bought some broccoli and cheese. We have plenty of pasta and a cheese sauce sachet too... so makes sense to do pasta bake tonight. 
  • C_J, that sounds amazing!! 

    We are having Ikea meatballs & sauce, oven chips and peas as a quick dinner after swimming lessons.
