    This week's meal plan:



    Trying to avoid having to buy anything. Should only need garden peas, alongside maybe some milk/normal top ups. A few things I've scrapped having as it would require an ingredient only needed for that one recipe.

    Slight change, I will take the meatballs off this week and have them next week; as I had extra jackfruit, so decided to mix that with pasta. Used the other half of the jackfruit to do coronation jackfruit which I've ate tonight. To say I've been meaning to make it for months, it was delicious.
    Also, I've found peas so don't need to buy them. Might just be (vegan) cheese, to have cheese on toast with the soup

    I didn't have the fishless fingers as wasn't hungry enough to eat, so that will be another meal this week.
    I also have rice to use up, and a surplus of mandarins. So will try and do some sort of orange style chicken.
    I have leftover soup still too, so will do a simple soup and chips (probably tonight) x
    I will do meatballs and pasta at the weekend (carried over from last week), when DD1 and GD are here.
    I have cabbage to use up, so may try a cabbage tart I have seen or Haluski. If I have some white beans around.
    Bacon and mushroom carbonara
    Caribbean curry

    Its a bit pasta heavy, so may have to adjust or buy another bag of pasta. I hopefully have everything else.
