    My Meal plan for this week is as follows!

    Monday
    Chicken Tikka Wraps (someone kindly gave me a few groceries and an Uncle Ben's pack was in there, thought I had better use it but from experience it will also do mine and DH's lunch tomorrow). DD will chose her own meal, but it will probably be Pasta!

    Tuesday
    At my Mums should of been Chicken pie, but she is making lemon chicken and rice. I will have some of the leftovers for lunch on Wednesday!

    Wednesday
    Chilli con carne and Rice (making second portion for the freezer!) DD will have the same, but without the spice!

    Thursday
    Peppercorn Steak with Veg (at my Mums againas it is her birthday today and mine on the 2nd, we went and spent a bit extra for some nice Steak which we split the cost on! No leftovers on this as it is just too nice!!!) I have no idea how to make this so will be going over to my Mums early so she can teach me!

    Friday
    Homemade Chicken and Mushroom pie with veg! (second pie for the freezer!)

    Saturday
    Pasta and Cod in butter sauce (Cravings what can I say?)

    Sunday
    Leftover pie with fresh veg!

    I am also making a quiche (or two) for the freezer, two birthday Victoria sponge cakes (one for me and one for my Mum!), and as it is my turn to make something that you would normally buy in a restaurant/shop (DH made Big Macs according to Todd Wilbur's recipie) I am going to make these infamous hobnobs I have heard so much about!

  • This is the first time I've done a menu plan. I've decided todo it as it just makes sense, I have 2 freezers full of food yet I go out and 'fancy' having something different to what I have at home. We really need to cut back.
    So, here goes I have stuck this on my fridge, I will give it a go.

    Monday - Steak, chips, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes.
    Tuesday- Sausage and mash
    Wednesday - Thai green curry.
    Thursday - Chicken and pasta
    Friday - Home made burgers
    Saturday - Asda meals from the chinese counter I bought last week and didnt have.
    Sunday - Probably will go out for sunday dinner as thats our once a month treat after getting paid, otherwise roast lamb
    Capital one was £1000.00 now £0.00:j
    Barclaycard was £250.00 now £190. 00
    Asda credit card was £500.00 now £0.00:j
    Aim to be credit card free by December 2012... Mostly done

    Meal plan? My head is spinning as I'm trying to catch up - have come back from a work trip with a stinking cold. So far I have:

    Sunday - barbecue
    Monday - curried tuna quiche with fennel au gratin
    Tuesday - HM pizza
    Wednesday - tortellini in HM stock; leek/goat's cheese parcels, salad
    Thursday - spicy beef with apricots, ps broccoli, couscous
    Friday - spinach, potato & chick pea curry, rice
    Saturday - something French: people coming to stay and I don't know them (friends of my late PIL).

    am also doing an art course from Thurs to Sun so need to plan a bit better once this cold stops blocking my brain cells.....
