Tues - chicken in a tomato sauce with pasta (HM) (again just need some veg)
Weds - lamb casserole HM from the freezer
Thurs - chickpea tagine
Fri - chicken stir fry (in-laws for dinner but arriving late so wanted to do something fast)0 -
Strange.....THe highlight of today's meal seemed to be the home made tartare sauce...... mayo (LF) from a jar, 1tsp mustard mayo, 1 gherkin finely chopped, couldn't get any capers.... saved a bit of £ there and then I had the end of a bottle of LF caesar dressing in the fridge... 1tbsp probably. So not even really tartare sauce! Shan't buy the jar stuff again. AND dd said that she didn't smell fish when she came in, only the mushy peas!Will try again. haven't posted in this thread before.... I did, but message seems to have gone.
THis is a lovely thread, I shall revisit when iI'm short of inspiration.
Today: HM fish cakes, hm mushy peas and hm wedges
Tomorrow: quiche lorraine hm or vegi cheese and onion
Saturday: Pasta bake ( turkey and mushroom or mushrrom and cheese)
Sunday: MIL's I hope
Other days
1:HM pizza
2:Bol hm(reg or vegi)
3: Burgers hm/bean burgers... not done those, no recipe, but cooked beans today
4: Jacket potatoes (may be used as substitute if I end up in a hurry!)[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

salivating already!
However, I have not planned yet as I was also hoping to get some frugal inspiration - that in itself is absolutely priceless!
My kids want input this week, rightly so, I don't think they have been too impressed this week but they are a pair of fussy !!!!!!s!:mad: Maybe I should have kid burgers :rotfl:
