Have either of you got the new Pinch of Nom cookbook? I've not got that one yet as I've not been able to find it in the shops - I'd like to have a look in there to see if there are any meals I know I would like to see if it's worth getting. I think I will go through the two POM books I've got tonight and I may have a trip up to B&M tomorrow to get some of the foil containers if I find some suitable recipes. Then I can get my backside into gear and get some meals prepared.Tesco CC - £269.00.00/£750

Oh yes I didn't think of the website! I bought the first two books about twelve months ago but I'm terrible. I find I flick through them thinking ooh that looks nice and end up not making anything!Tesco CC - £269.00.00/£750

Well I took an inventory of what I have in my freezer and food cupboard, now I just need to sit down with it tomorrow (too tired to do it now!) and work out a meal plan. Nipped into Wilko today and picked up some plastic food containers that are suitable for the freezer and microwave so I can try and do some batch cooking as well.Tesco CC - £269.00.00/£750
