Hi everyone I'm back with a plan.
I realise it's already the middle of the week, but I've got a few more meals up my sleeve for next week too.
Hope everyone is doing ok!?

So much for me having ideas for this week, I forgot to post 😊
So far this week for tea I've had
Jamaican stew from the freezer with rice and some sort of leftover curry.
Tuesday, I had homemade vegetable soup and homemade bread.
Last night was, Tofu Pad Thai with broccoli and rice.
Tonight, I'll use up whatevers been hanging around in the fridge a while
Tomorrow Moroccan stew and couscous from the freezer
Saturday, I will try and bring the pizza forward as my GD is here.
Sunday will possibly be burger or subject to change, depending on what's languishing around needing using up.
Next week (so I don't forget when I next post),
I need to do something with my butternut squash and possibly sweet potatoes.
Aswell as that, I fancy making a chicken pot pie.
I'll have mushrooms to use also, so might slot in a Bolognese too or a stroganoffGC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £76.30/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month.

Didn't cook all meals last week so butternut squash needs to feature somewhere (good job they last ages) 1️⃣.
Also, now don't need to do tagliatelle as I've used up the mushrooms and pasta in other meals.
2️⃣ Sandwiches last night as my stomach was upset from something the night before.
3️⃣Tonight, Cheese and Asparagus pasta with h.m. garlic rolls
4️⃣Curried Jackfruit and rice
5️⃣Jacket potato, cheese and coleslaw (dependant on if my cabbage is still okay).
6️⃣Something with chips (granddaughter here)
7️⃣HM pizza possibly 🤔 (if granddaughter still here)
8️⃣Reserve meal of Wagamama Hoisin and cherry tofu with noodles or rice.
