    Veggie chilli (dehydrated soya mince, sweetcorn, kidney beans) and rice.

    Lunch is leftovers from dinner: tofu, mushroom and cabbage curry (much nicer than it sounds - mum's on hols for the 4th time this year(!) and dropped round fresh stuff that needed using so I curried it all).

    Prawn alfredo here tonight.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Dinner tonight will be last night's leftover pork turned into a sweet and sour stir fry with loads of veg and some basmati rice.
  • Will be out for lunch with daughter, got a free birthday meal voucher, and have taken a small beef joint from freezer, added half green pepper and some carrots + seasoning of course and that is now in SC. Will be enough to last over weekend of freeze surplus. Had chicken last 2 days so fancied a change and really needed to get something out of freezer.

    Can't promise, but we'll do our best. :D

    Have fab time. Watched Rick in Thessaloniki last night, that looked a nice place too. Great dish of lamb, aubergines and red peppers.

    Tonight we're having gammon, new potatoes and eggs.

    Lunch today will be crackers, ham & cucumber. Dinner tonight will be mince and onion pie (made with Lodough (low calorie gluten free type pastry) - first time of using it so hope it's OK), mash & veg

    Denise

    The pie was not a success! Will not be using Lodough again! Unfortunately it was a 4 portion pie so we only used half so other half was had for today's lunch with chips & beans. DH decided not to eat the "pastry" but I decided I'd paid for it and it wasn't completely inedible just not worth using again.

    Tonight's dinner will be a HM keema curry with rice.
