    Two changes to last week's meal plan - Thursday's corned beef hash didn't happen and was swapped out for egg & chips with curry sauce at DH's request and, since there was so much meat left over from the lamb joint, I've chunked some up for a lamb Balti.  That in itself will make three meals - one for tonight and two for the freezer, which is getting quite full (again).   :D  

    Plan for the coming week:

    Sun - Roast beef and Yorkshires (from freezer), mash and greens
    Mon - Salad with gammon slices (from freezer)
    Tue - Liver, bacon & onion casserole, mash, carrots & swede
    Wed - Cod cakes, chips, peas
    Thur - Haven't decided yet
    Fri - Battered cod fillets

    This morning I've made up a tub of custard and will use that during the week for afters - maybe with a fruit crumble or perhaps just fruit with custard.  I need to bake something too as the cake tin is empty.  I'll see what ingredients are in the baking cupboard and then decide.  I'm fancying coconut and white chocolate buns.  
    Be kind to others and to yourself too.

  • Just one swapping of nights this last week as needed easy tea after being late home. I’m out a couple of days this coming week, which will involve eating out 😋. Still struggled to come up with a week’s worth of meals, think it’s because we’re in between cold weather food and warm weather food…anyway, all sorted and smallish shop done this afternoon.

    Sat - smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel (out for lunch)
    Sun - warm potato, halloumi and green bean salad 
    Mon - cheese and biscuits if I need anything (day out)
    Tues - beans on toast 
    Wed - steak and noodle stir fry 
    Thurs - prawn and chorizo rice 
    Fri - sausage and mushroom gnocchi
