Trying to meal plan to save money, time and use up all the bits and pieces lurking in the freezer.

Pete my DH is the same- he would never eat a veg only option, his meal must always include meat.

Tonight we had a pork stew and cheddar mash.

Tomorrow is going to be chicken wrapped in bacon with a creamy carbonara type sauce with pasta.
