Done really well this week and stuck to six out of seven meals. So, one has rolled forward.

Working through leftovers and stray freezer bits still. Subject to change if I realise something needs using up or I have more leftovers.  

Tonight I used up homemade coleslaw with potato, a scrappy bit of vegan cheese, topped with salad.

23rd onwards:
'Scrambled oggs' fried rice 
Dahl

Tofu meal
Savoury lentils with carrot and swede

Pitta meal or pizza

Something with courgette

Something with butterbeans

Loose plan for this week:

1) + 2) Still need to do the last two meals above, as ate leftovers of other bits. 
3):Last night I had pasta, pesto and spinach. 
4)I am going to have some sort of "pulled pork/bbq" jackfruit one night probably with rice or corn and chips.
5)Another tofu meal 
6) Coronation jackfruit with jacket potato and salad bits
7) meatballs with mash and green beans or pasta again.

I haven’t been too well and the brain was fluffy so had to stick to meals that I could cook on auto pilot without thinking too much.  Still managed a low spend though and aiming for the coming week to be another low spend.  I’d prefer it to be a no spend but I need a lime for the salsa and I’ll probably run out of kefir.

Spicy lentil stew and rice x2
tuna anchovy olive pasta
mackerel and tomato salsa x2
pesto pasta x2

desserts will be variations on fresh and canned fruit with kefir.

Hope you’re feeling better, bouicca21, take it easy.

Still struggling to get back into the meal planning and sticking to it here. Last week was better with no takeaways or to much spent on extras when daughter was feeling ill. 

Today- pizzas and Hm chips and broccoli 
sunday- toad in hole with lots of veg and roast parsnips 
monday- faggots, chips, peas
tuesday- unsure as of yet as won’t be home until late with gymnastics 
wednesday- chicken that’s not chicken curry and rice
Thursday- sweet and sour, noodles, peas and sweet corn
friday- fish fingers, mash/chips and beans.

Have a good week all ☺️

I didn't make the bolognaise sauce last week (not needed yet) but I did cook a rice pudding.  I have half a pack of frozen puff pastry and some crumble mix to use up so will use one of those tomorrow for fruit pie or crumble since I'll have the oven on for a tray of mini Yorkshire puddings, so may as well fill up the space.
