Hello, I'm new here and would like to join in if that's ok? My meal plan for WC Saturday 26th April is:
Saturday - Steak (from freezer), garlic mash and green beans (from freezer)
Sunday - Dinner at BF's parents house - I'm the only one that eats chicken so I bring almost a whole cooked one home with me!)
Monday - busy night for me so I'll defrost sausages for BF to cook himself with jacket pot and veg and I'll have soup and a granary roll (cauliflower cheese soup I think!) from the freezer when I get home
Tuesday - Smoked salmon (from freezer), jacket potato and salad
Wednesday - honey and mustard chicken salad (using leftover chicken) with crash hot potatoes
Thursday - Garlic prawn spaghetti and salad (prawns from freezer)
Friday - Fish and chips with peas and sweetcorn (all from the freezer)
All I should have to buy for this mealplan is salad (I'm growing some but its not ready yet!) and a few new potatoes for the crash hots. Breakfasts are always the same - I have branflakes or a banana shake and a cereal bar, depending how early I have to go out, BF has porridge. For lunch I cook a big gammon joint and we have gammon and salad sarnies or leftover chicken sarnies all week! Plenty of fruit in between and no naughties;) (well, that's the plan anyway - I am also joining the weight loss thread!)0 -

By the way - I have an abundance of lamb mince in the frezzer due to a tesco delivery error - lamb gives me tumy ache but my BF loves it, however, the only thing I know how to cook with it is shepherds pie and if he has to have that virtually every night for the next two months I suspct he may get bored. Any ideas for easy, freezable recipes would be gratefully recieved!0
