    My first posting on here so please be kind!

    Sun: Pork steaks, green beans new/roast pots carrots,broc. and cauli.
    Mon:Chilli with rice and tomato ciabatta.
    Tue:Stirfry chicken and salad.
    Wed: Chicken fajitas and salad.
    Thur:Neck of lamb and veg stuffed pittas
    Fri: H/M fishermans pie with oven chips and peas.
    Sat: chicken kababs with rice.

    I don't have to buy anything as it's all either in the freezer or fridge/cupboards.
    I have set myself a challenge not to buy anything until the pantry/fridge/freezer is bare, so the concoctions may become very 'strange' as time goes by!:rolleyes:

  • Wow! I'm a bit late this week!! Some great ideas on here:cool:
    I've found another benefit (to me anyway) of this meal planning malarky!!-:D

    have had this dreadful "fluey" virus since last Saturday-not felt much like eating and even less like thinking up meals/prepping/cooking them, but as I had done my meal planning, it was a whole lot less stressful AND the rest of the family got to eat!!!;)

    This week's offerngs are as follows:

    Sat-Tilapia fillets, roast mediterranean vegetables, HM bread.
    Sun-Sausages, celeriac mash, cabbage, onion gravy.
    Mon-Chilli (slow cooker-doing a batch cook), rice.
    Tues-Cheese and potato pie, roast balsamic tomatoes, slow roasted onions.
    Weds-Caribbean mango chicken (sticker job) with rice.
    Thurs-Pasta bake with cheese and??? not decided what else yet!
    Fri-Steak and kidney with dumplings(HM, has been back of freezer for months, so if i am absent from boards next week you will know why :eek: ), cabbage.

    Hope everyone has a good week:D
    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most..... ;)
