Trying to use up stuff in the freezer this week, so here goes:

Fri: Prawn biranyi - made with prawns, onion, rice, peas, veg stock and curry paste - very simple, quick to prepare and yummy

Sat: Rustic pasta

Sun: Cherry tomato tarts with green pesto and mozzarella (got some puff pastry in the freezer that needs eating up and some left over pesto in the fridge, thought this lot would combine nicely) and salad

Mon: Chicken sweetcorn and pea pasta bake (chicken in freezer, cook some pasta, add sweetcorn, peas, cooked chicken, tin of low fat condensed chicken soup, herbs, black pepper and chilli flakes...mix together and bung in dish with some grated cheese on top..cook in oven until cheese has melted and browned a bit)

Tues: Cheesy beany pie (think this was on last week's menu but it got bumped )

Wed: Curried parsnip soup, bread

Thu: Working in London all day so OH doing dinner - - probably toasted sandwiches with salad

Well last week didn't go according to plan either, as I have left them to it for a couple of days while I go visiting. Going home shortly, but decided to plan meals first. I spent too much at the market yesterday and mostly storecupboard stuff... am trying to shop from home!

Here goes..

Friday: Haggis, Neeps and Tatties

Saturday: Friend coming for breakfast! Egg bacon sausage etc
Dinner: Turkey and ham in mushroom sauce (bumped yet again last week!)

Sunday: Lamb chops from when I had half a lamb. Should be used soon. I don't ever buy lamb chops, but they come like that with the lamb. GOt pots and veg are in the fridge.

Monday: Bol, either veg or regular

Tuesday: Jacket Potatoes

Wednesday: Fish in crumbs (freezer) bubble & Squeak (freezer) Mushy peas (made and in freezer) Nice easy night!

Thursday: Spicy Pork burger/vegi burger, potato wedges and salad.

Might drop one of the meat dishes in favour of a veggie one, in order balance it a bit. Guess Saturday would be a good day if there is a cooked breakfast.




**********************************************************

Last week, didn't entirely stick to plan! Was please to use a couple of things from the freezer that had been languishing there for some time.

Thursday: chicken wings Potato wedges and salad.


Friday: rogan josh and saag aloo , stashed in freezer (happened), made cauliflower and chickpea thing but not Spicy rice

Saturday:
Turkey/ham (guess where that's from!) in mushroom sauce with pasta, Made bean burgers and wedges instead. First time for the burgers, successful.

Sunday: Steak and broccoli stirfry, found recipe on BBC website, This was good http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5...d-broccoli.jsp but left out the cashew nuts and included a pack of bean sprouts.

Monday:
bean/veg lasagne yet? Could get that ready on Sunday. Did this with good result! Pleased

Tuesday: Went to see friends and have gone on to the wrinklies, so family had a beans, egg, toast day and a jacket spud day.

Today.. should be home in time to defrost broth from freezer. Lob in some dumplings to keep the boys happy and then maybe a sponge pud or something.

We get our veg box on thursdays so I shall plan it around what is in that as usual. Going away for the weekend though to see the boyfriends dad so that will work out a little cheaper at least

Hi kraftykat Do you like caraway seeds? If so, I sometimes stir-fry cabbage and add some caraway seeds just before serving - I think this is a good combination, but others might disagree

Hi there, did stick mainly to plan last week, except for the cauli cheese which got chilli substituted in instead, as DH was cooking.

This week:

Friday: Veggie burgers / fish fingers with "black" potatoes
Sat: Salmon fillets with cous cous
Sun: HM Pizza and garlic bread (bought reduced from Waitrose last week ).
Mon: Sausages, mash and beans
Tues: Cottage pie and veggies
Wed: Beef casserole & rice
Thurs: HM coconut rice pudding for DD, DH out and no idea for me!

I need to also make some bread, so I'm aiming to do that on Sunday when I make the pizza dough.

Buffy the Vampire Bat, I don't think I've ever tried caraway seeds????

Probably a stupid question, but are caraway seeds the small round bits in bombay mix???
