  • Friday, Saturday and Sunday will now change.

    Friday will be another Dhal (this one was made for DD2) as I have poppadoms which will go stale otherwise. 

    Saturday will now be Orange chicken and rice

    Sunday will be savoury mince and mash with carrots and peas.
    Or Bolognese and Edamame noodles. 
    I ended up having like a satay sauce today as it was languishing in the fridge. I've moved Dan Dan and orange chicken again, aswell as tomorrow's meal. 

    Next week, is hopefully as follows:

    This week is looking like this:

     - Salad nicoise 
     - Sausage, apple and veg tray bake
     - Chicken breast stuffed with herby mascarpone , wrapped in bacon with roast tomatoes 
     - HM breaded haddock, actifry chips and mushy peas
     - Chicken and cashew stir fry with noodles
     - Mushroom rissotto
     - Cauliflower, broccoli macaroni cheese

    I need to use up mascarpone (why can't you buy a smaller tub), green beans, new potatoes and bacon rashers. The haddock is from the Iceland deal and not that great so I may do something different with it. Still have lots of baby tomatoes growing but they are better roasted than eaten raw. My watering has been erratic and the skins are tough.  

    We "procured" a few cooking-type ie tart apples, so I have an apple cake baking to cool, portion and add to my expanding box of frozen cake slices. I don't have anything chocolately in there yet, but I have a nice selection now that will last us a while. 

    Will make cauli soup for lunches with the usual sandwiches, crackers, fruit etc

    Have a good week ahead meal-planners  :) 

  • 1- Sausage casserole and herby roasts
    2- Pasty n chips
    3 - Enchiladas
    4 - Burgers
    5 - Tuna Pasta
    6 - Curry n Rice
    7 - Pasta bake, garlic bread

    The whole plan got rehashed
    Bolognese became Chilli because I didn't have mushrooms. 
    Tuesday was Sweet Chilli Beef and rice because I got some YS vegan beef pieces.
    Last night was Cajun tofu with broccoli and cashew cheese pasta. 

    Daughter has now gone back to uni house. So the rest of the week will be...
    Tonight: Curry pie, chips and peas
    Friday: Dan Dan noodles
    Saturday : Jacket potato
    Sunday:Savoury lentils
