Yes I used up stacks of veg - though I was amazed how it all seemed to disappear into nothing in the sauce. We're trying to stock up the freezer (twins due in 4 weeks) and I made 4 for the freezer but I keep using them up when I can't be bothered to cook [lazy emoticon]

Had scallops with sugar snap peas and corn with rice on Saturday, jacket potatoes with a selection of fillings and salad on Sunday (kitchen painting) fish pie last night. Paneer curry tonight (great for using loads of veg), chilli and tacos tomorrow, a sort of pork and veg stew made in the slow cooker for the first time on Thursday. Friday is DS1's birthday and he has asked for take away pizza.

last night we had potato gnocci with a creme fraiche and smoked salmon and dill sauce and left over pudding from Sunday lunch (home made apple and blackberry crumble)

Tonight I'm doing Thai chicken with rice

Wednesday will probably be risotto as I have the ingredients which need to be used, but not sure if two rice dishes in a week might be too much.

Thursday will be omelettes and oven chips

Friday will be whatever I can scrabble around for in the fridge - baked potatoes and something probably.
