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:
