Reverse Meal Planning

I might do pancakes tonight - I did buy eggs to make sure we had some in case we decided to, but with himself being at rugby training last night it didn't really work! If I do it will absolutely be lemon and sugar too!

I have ham, egg and wedges on the plan for tonight - using more of the 5p potatoes! I think I'll still have sufficient left that there won't be any benefit to using the free veg item from Lil's on tatties this time though. Might add a spoonful of baked beans each as the balance of the tin can get used with jacket potatoes tomorrow evening.

I bought some liver the other day to make faggots but only needed half of the pack so we're having liver, bacon, onions and mash for dinner tonight. Not had that for ages.

@Suffolk_lass - 🤣🤣🤣 - 15? - not a chance - waitflower's loved up promotion was 25 for a starter, main, side, dessert & side - the whole meal is heavy on the refined carbs and low on the fresh produce and fibre - honestly I could root around in our home stores and produce a better meal for under 10!

So original plan for our loved up day was heart shaped pasta, meatballs and sauce - but neither of us actually fancy that! Instead we had a mcd's breakfast as our treat followed by some fruit. Lunch was sourdough toast with avo, ham, the last of the bacon and a slice of roast pork - sounds weird but it was really tasty and used up the ends of everything. Dinner was smashburgers in the oven because afore mentioned meal deal is truly ridiculous and for around a fiver we were both fed!

@EssexHebredian - you are absolutely correct - while keeping the calories up is a struggle for OH and yes we resort to some úpf-food rather than no food - I still attempt to default to real whole food whenever possible - I do love a blu-riband bar though - who knew they were so moreish!

Blimey. Both Morries (£15) and Sainsbugs (£18) were offering gratinated scallops starter, steak main with a side (medley of veg/ lots of potato options) lots of different rich desserts and a drink (bottle of prosecco or 4 orig coke bottles, eg). Did without though!
