I've been lucky and done well with Chinese food in the supermarkets' reduced sections. So I've got beef in black bean sauce from Morrison's, special fried rice from Waitrose and chilli and coriander noodles from M&S. Not too shabby!

I get bored with meal planning also.

When that happens I just look online at our local idependent school that lists all their supper menus for the Boarding school and follow that to the letter. Takes the thinking out of the equation.

This week for example;

Monday- pork meatballs in a tomato sauce with pasta; garlic bread and green salad
Tuesday- Chicken kyivs with mashed potato green beans, carrots
Wednesday- build your own jacket potatos
Thursday-homemade tomato soups with toasties (the school does a roast lunch on Thursdays).
Friday- Cod goujon baps with tartare sauce and green salad
Saturday- (post games matches) - build your own fajitas with mexican rice, sour cream, guacamole and trimmings
Sunday- roast of the day.

It takes the planning out of my hands and gives me a break from the mental load for a bit.

As for us- well, DH and I are out for lunch so dinner will be a green soup and sour dough bread. The Dcs are having chicken tempura salad wraps with wedges.

i love this!😂

Roast beef, roast potatoes, yorkshires and broccoli. Although I’ve cheated and used brisket in a silver tray which you just air fry for 20 mins. I’ve been out all day at netball
so anything for an easy life!

Where do you buy the air fryer beef @troppibambini6?
