I am doing my inflation proof lentil soup:

lentils (pre-soaked)
onion
leek
carrot
peppers
potato
bit of garlic
stock cubes
sausage (optional)
tomato puree

best eaten a day after making it. Make enough for 2 days, and freeze half. Eat with crusty bread.

I dunno, whatever dp briings home from the supermarket marked down to something ridiculous like 9p.

Truly, he gets load like that, he works late so hits all the supermarkets from about 8pm onwards. There ar 2 Asdas, a gazillion Tescos, Morrisons and Sainsburies. He knows when to get to each one

Monday - leftover chicken made into a pie with mushrooms, vegetables and served with new potatoes

Tuesday - Butternut Squash Soup with homemade bread

Wednesday - Cottage Pie

Thursday - Homemade Pizza and Salad

Friday - Hot Salad made up of whatever is in the fridge - can be cheese, frankfurters, chicken, new potatoes....tis a family fave!!

Also, I do freezer days every now and again where we only eat what is in the freezer and that can be a real surprise as you forget what lurks at the bottom!!

Friday night is takeaway night

every couple of weeks i make a huge batch of bolognaise sauce, its one by fern britton and its the best ive ever tasted can post recipe if you want, i freeze it and have it with spagetti, lasagne and sometimes with a jkt pot with cheese.

this week we are having

homemade fish pie
chilli and rice
bolognaise with something
prob fishfingers chips and beans
roast chicken then curry next day with leftover meat.

I could suggest jkt pot and beans...or jkt pot and tuna... but that prob wouldn't be very helpful

I try and do things that'll go for a couple of meals, but can be varied, IYSWIM - eg, roast chicken, then make risotto or chick pie the next night with the left overs, with veggies thrown in (leek, mushroom, pepper etc. - that way the fact that there's not a lot of meat the second night doesn't matter so much).

Second the spag bol - bulk it out with grated carrot, courgette, peppers etc. - sometimes I add chick peas too, then make a lasagne, cottage pie and spag bol out of it. (this one prob isn't that inventive tho' sorry)

fish pie, and make fish cakes with the same mix too

moroccan cous cous with chick peas & veggies

pasta with tomato sauce - tend to make up a huge pot of sauce and freeze in batches so can add diff stuff to it - the usual, tuna, veggies, sausages if had saus the night before etc.

lemon chicken with spring veg and noodles
lamb kebabs rice and salad
spag bol
chiken with walnuts, spring onions and mayo with jacket pots
moussaka, eat and freeze so does 2 meals

Need some inspiration, think my poor family is going to scream if I give them jackets with cheese and sweetcorn once more!!!

Lunch ideas too would be great.

Many,many thanks
