56 replies

TanglinOrchards · 04/01/2021 06:46

I am trying to be more organised, not waste food and to cook cheap but nourishing food as i am on an economy drive.

Monday - sausages, eggs, grilled tomatoes and baked beans.

Tuesday - pasta pesto with black olives

Wednesday - chicken boodle soup (using up roast chicken I have in the freezer plus frozen carrots and broad beans.

And there I am stuck!

I'd love to know what you are planning!

Is it lemon or lime for the Indian omelette? Ingredients say lime but instructions say add lemon drops?

I'm totally here to steal ideas 😁

Tonight will be chicken fajitas
Tomorrow is pesto pasta with chicken, garlic bread and salad
Wednesday is beef curry and rice
Thursday, possibly homemade pizza

That's as far as we've gotten as need to do a proper food shop and butchers order.
