Right, this is it, this week is THE WEEK!!! With 2 young daughters, myself a full time student and all of us living on income support until Sept I neeeeeed to buckle down. I'm a veggie, the girls aren't but they eat veggie at home and I could do with ideas for different meals that I can cook, as at the moment quorn and I are bessie mates and it's getting a bit boring. I have a bread maker and can cook pretty decently. The girls wont eat cauliflower cheese or omlette, but thats about all they wont eat.


Saturday - Veggie spag bol and garlic bread

Sunday - Veggie chow mein with rice

Monday - HM pizza and salad

Tuesday - Pasta bake with brocolli with jacket spuds

Wednesday - HM chips and sausage

Thursday - Veggie curry with rice and HM garlic naan

Friday - Take away, probably pizza or chinese, but its moneysaving as
I'm not paying for it

Saturday was: Roast gammon, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots, savoy cabbage with caraway seeds, and pineapple slices (gotta have a nice slice of pineapple with your roast gammon in our house )

hi all

well ive just realised that next week we have a few more bills to pay than normal ( one of them being a dress i bought off ebay.. by accident :rolleyes: )

so ive been putting together my meal plan. .and then i put it into the asda website but with my nappies and wipes etc its coming to £41 when i could really do with it being around the £20 - £30 mark

i dont really have a lot in my store cupboards because i tend to just buy in weekly so i can keep on top of our food budget

would anyone be able to help me

i still want us to have nice teas.. if just a little cheaper than normal !!!

Hi there..off the top of my head

• Pasta bake -can be great for using up bits n bobs -plus very tasty
• Layers of potatoes n onions in the oven with a little stock -and you can always put sausages on top, or corned beef in the middle layer
• home made pizza or tortilla -verrrry easy to do
• roast chicken dinner -plus extra meat leftover to fill the tortillas or make a pie etc

How many are you feeding? and what sorts of things do you like? we may be able to come up with more

I like to make a big pan of fried rice full of vegetables, mushrooms, left over chicken, anything in fact. I boil the rice first, let it cool in the fridge, don't leave cooked rice lying around too long. Cooling it helps to seperate the grains.

In a big frying pan or wok, add some oil, beat the eggs and cook, chop them up and put aside while you soften your vegetables and cook mushrooms in the pan then add the cooled rice and just heat through, add the egg at the end and mix in to heat through.

We sometimes serve it with either soy sauce or sweet chilli sauce
