Well done. Last night we had a tasty and cheap meal so all good. Meatballs (from Co-op) - 12 in a pack half price down to £1.49. I fried them up with onion and a tomato and herb sauce and we had with fresh pasta (also reduced in the Co-op - One third off) and garlic bread (again on special in the Co-op). The meatballs are proper mince and were very nice. I got some more and popped them in the freezer.
Tonight is gammon cooked in slow cooker in cherry coke! Highly recommended on Old Style board. Cooked it overnight as I thought if it ready and waiting at home I will be less tempted by the call of the chinese takeaway! :rotfl: Had a wee taste when I took it out the slow cooker this morning and it tasted nice. Going to have it cold though later with chips and egg I think.
Have a good weekend all.
I am pledging no take aways for may!!! have subscribed to the chinese food thread on the os board (as this is our downfall) and will be hunting out a decent recipe for tikka masala (with sauce) and spinach and chickpea curry to keep my fella's urge for an indian down.
Am going to bulk cook the take away food and freeze them so they are always there when needed!!!!!
Good luck everyone!!!!!!
love rags

asda chicken tikka and rice with pot of mango chutney
iceland sweet and sour chicken balls and fried rice - just like the real thing
dr oetekers thin pizzas - i like the bolognaise one and the peperoni one, then the chicken one, i think they are half price at tesco at the moment as well
I only eat takeaways once or twice a month at the most, I need to lose some weight and I am committed to making food from scratch now.
This challenge will help me stick to this plan when I feel weak on the occasional Sat night or after work night!
Many thanks for starting the thread - it is mega helpful in many ways!
So tempted to get takeaway, just couldnt be bothered cooking in the slightest. My youngest wandered over to me saying "but mam its SATURDAY!" clutching the pennies jar. But i declined, resisted the urge and gave him pasta salad and HM apple and Rhubarb pie instead. Luckily that satisfied him and i didn't feel so guilty.
Well done with the ww plan tjretro!!! :j
