    I have had to be quite inventive this week as my oven blew up on new years day and its going to be 14 days before anyone can come out :mad:

    Oooh poor you, you have my sympathies! You dont realise how much you use/need it until you dont have one do you?

    Our convection microwave (used for everything as oven in this house is carp) broke in December and i cried lol :o blame the hormones!

    I couldn't believe how much we relied on it until it was gone, luckily got another ordered and delivered within 5 days - i nearly kissed the delivery man lol :rotfl:

    Not as bad as the time when didn't have a fridge for 2 weeks but lets not get into that :mad: lol

    Hello,

    This is the first time that I've posted on the meal plan thread, it has been a great help to me to see what others are having as menu planning doesn't come easily to me. Here's my plan:

    Saturday: Sausage casserole with mashed pots
    Sunday: Curried mince with basmati rice
    Monday: Scrambled egg on toast (I'm by myself so I tend to eat lighter meals)
    Tuesday: Left over Sausage casserole from Saturday reheated
    Wednesday: Roast chicken (if my local Co-op has any, the last two days the 'chicken' shelves have been empty)
    Thursday: Tinned Mackerel with salad and jacket potato (by myself again, DH hates the smell of mackerel so I only ever eat it when he's not around!)
    Friday: Chicken with rice (using leftovers from Weds.)

    I might swap Monday and Tuesday night meals around, not sure yet.:D

    Hiya Penny Pincher

    Im so sorry, a little behind this week Im afraid, myself & OH have just gone through the cupboards, fridge & freezers, and done this weeks shopping list (ready to do Sun am) there's not a lot of shopping we actualy need, as I want to use up what we have! (OH wages have been messed up over Xmas & NY, and not been paid as much) so hopefully when its sorted, we can do a BIG SHOP & re-stock everything up.

    Anyway, here goes what we intend to have this week.

    Sat - Chicken balti, & Chicken tandoori with Naan bread
    Sun - Chicken & mushroom pies with veg & mash
    Mon - kids - pizza & onion rings with HM potato wedges
    OH - corned beef hash
    Me - ocean pie
    (using up stuff - cant you tell)
    Tues - Sausage casserole or just plain bangers & mash with veg (not decided yet)
    Weds - Chicken with Campbells mushroom soup & pasta
    Thurs - Savoury mince, mash & veg
    Fri - usually a take away for myself & OH. (Kids will be at their dads)

    Have a great week!!!
    Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure
  • I’m doing the grocery challenge so this menu is based on what I’ve already got in the house. My daughter and I are vegy but my DH and DS aren’t so I have to do two meals each night.

    Sat - Cheese fondue with a mountain of French bread and vegetables
    Sun - Roast Pork/Vegy Roast with roast potatoes, peas, carrots and swede
    Mon - Sausages (both vegy & meaty ones) potato bake, peas and sweet corn
    Tues - Enchiladas (both mixed bean & mince ones), pepper salad, tortilla chips
    Wed - Pasta & shop brought sauces, Salad
    Thurs - Slow cooker vegy chilli/meaty chilli & rice (yes, I have 2 slow cookers!)
    Fri - HM Pizza, garlic bread & salad

    It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

    Tonight - Pork chops with grainy mustard and tomato sauce + mash
    Sunday - Roast Gammon, parsley sauce and roasties
    Monday - Sausage and Lentil Hotpot
    Tuesday - Mince + tatties
    Wednesday - using up opened packs of burgers/fishfingers/chicken things + chips
    Thursday - Shepherds Pie and roast veg
    Friday - Venison and Leek Pie

    I've taken up the challenge to not spend anything at work for a month so I'm making soups to take to work for lunch.

    Have a great week everyone.;)
