MN Food Menu Planning Challenge Thingy.

[Firebird]

I want to get a 2 week menu running, but I know how to cook sod all (I CAN cook, just need recipes and a kick).

I am on a tight budget, so it needs to be as cheap as possible, filling, but healthy.

We all like pretty much everything (apart from the evils of cous cous).

PLEASE can yous who do this kind of stuff come and post oodles of recipes so I can sort a 2 week menu and shopping list?

You are all stars.

(Oh, not opposed to vegi options too)

I have a table (with days, lunch, tea, how many of your five a day) would you like it?

Also we spend about £50 a week plus meat (& that feed DH, me, DD and a variety fo childminded children)

Ooohh katymac please could you send it to me, I am in the same boat as firebird.. need to have ideas so I can menu plan.

Reading with interest. Have just spent nearly £70 on online shop with Sainsburys (can only use them for online shop). £70 is way too much for me and 3 kids. I need it to be £50 at the most.

obviously the dots are dots. oh look what you've started, katymac.

Intirgued by YGs one now too

Well I hope you aren't all dissappointed - it's not perfect by any means & it does get altered when "stuff" happens

Message withdrawn

got it thanks katie - just remembered cheese/pot pie as well - any ideas on getting DH to eat that cos he won't but thta's a good cheap filling meal - I guess a few ssausages cut up or ham and mashed thru with salad? - might try that one actually and see how we go. got good variation as well.

Put some sweet potato or carrot or squash in it as well

ooh yes there's an idea - can get him to eat sweet pot that way as well - isn't it terrible when u have to bribe DH as well as the children! lol.

Do you not do sweet potato chips - I have died & gone to heaven just thinking about it

I make soup by boling a pack (or half a pack)of frozen mixed veg (you know swede, carrot, onion, celery - they are called stew pack or casserole mix) for an hour with a stock cube - Liquidise & add milk to taste

Or fry frozen onion, frozen peppers in olive oil & garlic (from a jar) add tinned tomatoes & liquidise for tomato soup

yep I eat them - DH won't even try anything which is remotely differnt! lol - gonna have to get creative! lol.

(sorry have hijacked FB's thread )
