    Hello.

    Also my first time posting but been trying to become more old style for the last 2 weeks after realising sometimes I spend £100 a week for 2 adults, 2 kids (plus OH's daughter every other weekend).
    Bought a slow cooker last week and managed to slash my food shop to £50 this week :)

    Anyways:

    Today: Sausage casserole in the slow cooker, served with beetroot and cabbage

    Friday: Out for tea as it's son's party at a local pub

    Saturday: Savoury mince done in slow cooker with mash as I am at work and it will be pretty much done when I get in.

    Sunday: Chicken curry with rice and naan

    Monday: Spaghetti Bolognese with turkey mince for a change

    Tuesday: Moroccan Chicken and rice

    Wednesday: Something quick like pasta and smoked sausage as its a busy day

    Thursday: Beef Casserole from the freezer or I may defrost the reduced sirloin I got and serve with chips.

    I was reflecting on my meal plan when I was sitting waiting at the doc's. It looks boring to me somehow. Will have to have a think.

    here's my meal plan.

    i started it on tuesday tho as i went shoppign on sunday. was supposed to start ti on sunday , but ws very poorly. but it nearly 2 weeks worth as i find it easier to shop for 2 weeks meals at a time.

    TUE ~ Beef steak chilli with basmati rice

    WED ~ Thai pork mince and rice

    THUR ~ Pasta with bacon and peas and grated cheese on top

    FRI (1st feb ) ~ Jacket potatos stuffed with broc, cheese and egg

    SAT ~ Speedy chicken cous cous

    SUN ~ Spicy morrocan chicken with cous cous

    MON ~ Moroccan lamb meatballs in a tomato sauce with rice

    TUE ~ Chicken with green lentils and new potatoes

    WED ~ Tomato and tuna pasta with grated cheese

    THUR ~ Spag bol, with home made garlic bread

    FRI ~ chicken curry for hubby and i and as a treat fish fingers and chips for kids as it a home made take away night

    SAT ~ Home made ham and cheese pizza with wedges

    SUN ~ Lasagne with garlic bread and peas

    MON ~ Cajun chicken with fruity rice.

    i know this prob looks like alot of rice/pasta and mince type meal's. but for me i find this a simple way to do my meal plan. then for the next two weeks, we will prob have alot of potato meal's.

    Most recipes on my planner are taken from various easy cook mags which i subscribe to. Everything is all cooked from scratch apart fromt hte kids fish fingers on fri night as no matter how many time i make them none of us like them, so shop bought birds eye ones it is.

    Hope don't look too boring.
