I ate it the other day and the Spanish beans last night.
I've lost the plot with the meal plan a little since daughter went back to uni house.

This week's meal plan starts today running for a week. I have a special occasion to look forward to that involves eating out (yeh
) and one or possibly 2 meals will be something easy /or pre-made from the freezer.
Looking like this:- Fish pie (mash top, parsley sauce kind - no cheese
) with peas and carrots.
- HM quiche Lorraine, salad
- Chickpea, pepper and sweet potato curry, bit of LO dhal and rice
- Griddled sardines with turla-turla (thanks to K9sandFelines for the inspiration)
- Orzo with chorizo, peppers and roast tomatoes, with salad
- HM pizza night
- Eating out, yeh
Starting to get quite a glut of strawberries from the garden now, which is amazing so they peaches and melon are this week's fruit choices. G yogurt, crackers for snacks etc if required.
Have a great week everyone and best of luck sticking to plan.
