We had prawn pad Thai stir fry at lunchtime so it’s ‘get whatever you like’ this evening, I’m not cooking again!

Just the 2 of us tonight so it's freezer tapas tonight consisting of homemade curry pasties (hairy biker recipe) cheesy fries, tempura prawns and halloumi fries with some fresh sourdough on the side 😂 need freezer space as my monthly meat order will be here on Monday!

Roast wild salmon fillet (on offer!) with a sort of mediterranean puy lentil and green bean thing on the side, with rolls.

Sweet and sour chicken. The dcs favourite. I fancy dan dan noodles orca lasagne now though.

@Fairysteps11
It helps me plan better, I can look in the freezer and work the weekly meal plan around what I have in. We also use Pesky for our fish (that has the benefit of sustainability too)
Costs around £150/month for meat and fish
Then it means weekly shop is only around £50 because it's just veg/accompaniments, breakfast and snacks 😀

We had mini wraps and lots of little bowls with veg, salad, avo, chicken, humus etc etc. children said it was disgusting so that was a winner 🤣

mamaduckbone · 20/04/2024 18:02

Pulled slow cooker chicken burritos

@obsessedwithfreshbread where do you buy your monthly meat order and what do you normally buy?
