    Ok last week made enough for two meals on some of the days, so this is this week's plan.

    Tonight : Burrito with side salad and potato salad
    Rest of the week (all dependant on the current hot spell):
    Haluski (as didn't have it last week, luckily cabbage still good) ✅
    Mushroom and Bacon Carbonara ✅
    Ital soup No longer having this as it was to use the Pak choi 
    Chilli and sweet potato wedges ✅
    Something with tofu (not sure on the sauce component)✅ Had pad thai
    Roasted veg pasta ✅
