Well it's been a while since I've sat down and done a proper meal plan, in fact, I don't think I've done one since before the kids broke up for the Summer holidays and I've been looking forward to getting back into it. As the kids aren't back to school until next week, I'm having a bit of a lazy week with my meal plan. I made easy mince and dumplings yesterday in the slow cooker and I'll add a bit of mash to the top of the leftovers of the mince from that to make an easy cottage pie for Wednesday.

Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Homemade tortilla style wraps….
I haven't done a meal plan for the last couple of weeks as we've had a couple of trips to London (more details will follow) and the kids have been ill (now there's a surprise ;-)) but we're back to normal from tomorrow so I'm hoping to be able to stick to our meal plan for the first time in a couple of weeks.

Family Friendly Frugal Meals – Sausage Pie….
After last weeks attempt to follow the Sainsbury's Feed your family for £50 challenge, I've decided that we do need a bit of variety on our menu. Apparently nine out of ten people make the same eight meals over and over again and looking back at my recent menu plans it looks like I'm one of those nine. Not that there's anything wrong with that but we did enjoy the variety of last week so I'm going to try and introduce some new meals to my rather limited repetoire....Monday: Sweet and sour chickenTuesday: Macaroni cheeseWednesday: Jambalaya Thursday: Sausage pie (see … [Read more...]

Family, Friendly, Frugal Meals – Chicken and Mushroom Pasta….
Last week's meal plan went OK but I had to nip to the shop twice midweek - once for dog food and the second time for baking supplies for the bake sale at work that I promised I'd cook for. Both times I bought a few extras which meant I ended the week over budget but we're getting closer to it so I'm not too dissappointed ;-) Here's this weeks meal plan:Saturday: Shepherds PieSunday: Sunday Lunch - Chicken, roasties, veg and Yorkshire puddingsMonday: Chicken and mushroom pasta (see below) using up the leftover chicken from Sunday.Tuesday: Macaroni cheeseWednesday: … [Read more...]
