Simplicity and easiness is encouraged but points will be deducted for Hunter's Stew, any kind of tray bake, spag bol and anything that contains a tub of Philadelphia.

Mon: leftover spag bol, the DCs are having their pasta out of the freezer as I can't be bothered to cook pasta twice.
Tues, Weds and Thurs: probably toast or a sandwich for the DCs. Probably not with the out of date hummus in the fridge.
Adult tea will consist of something I think of at 5 pm, or something DH picks up on the way home (though it may come from Waitrose).
Fri: whatever they serve me at the PGL centre where I'm taking the Brownies. DH and the DCs will probably have ready meals all weekend.
Planning? What's planning?

Thanks

Friday - (after school) IKEA hot dogs and ice cream.
Saturday - roast lamb. Had been in freezer since August, reduced from £12 to £2.90.

Do the meal plans of someone suffering from morning sickness count?

Last night - toast and Dairylea
Tonight - toast and butter
Tomorrow - probably toast
Wednesday - maybe toast
Thursday - toast
Friday - probably toast
Saturday - traditionally junk night. Might have a pizza.

I should point out that husband and son are eating fairly normally. I wouldn't inflict my current tastes on them. Apart from at breakfast.

Thanks

Laughing in recognition at the all toast menu although in fairness I didn't have morning sickness either time, I was just lazy.

DC eat tea at the childminder's all week, so it's just DH and I for most of this:

Mon - chicken thighs, wedges and bendy veg. DH ate half a tub of chocolate ice cream for afters. I ate two fairy cakes. There was booze.

Tue - fend for yourself night aka gym night. Beans on toast probably, or DH will eat cardboard pizza.

Wed - dunno

Thur - see Tue

Friday - wine and crisps

Thanks

I don't meal plan in advance.

Well, no, last night I thought I should get something out of the freezer so I got out a couple of those turkey breast slice/steaks things (raw). And now I've remembered I've got some cooked pork in fridge from weekend. So I have to figure out something to do with those tonight, using the veg I've got, 1/2 courgette, onion, yellow pepper, small bit of brocolli mostly stalk. Probably stir fry with rice then.

This is my idea of meal planning.

Thanks

PeaceOfWildThings · 17/03/2015 10:23

I don't have a plan (yet).

We had veg and eggs and bacon last night and we each did what we wanted with those ingredients. I had an omelette and ended up with all the bacon. DCs had boiled egg, veg and toast.

Thanks

Sunday night we all went out for icecream sundaes. So stuffed that became our dinner. 5 year old had bubblegum flavour and something called 'blue ice' which glowed in the dark. Topped with bright sprinkles and bright red sauce.

Thanks

I don't really meal plan, I just wing it from the contents of the fridge.
Last night was fish and chips.
Tonight is one pot chicken (leftover chicken added to sautéed on inks and garlic, stir in brown rice, add stock, add a teeny amt of chilies, plenty of carrots, add stock, passata, and chicken and stir occasionally until the rice is cooked and it is a nice thick sauce. Throw in some finely chopped broccoli for two minutes. Serve.
Tomorrow is toad in the hole with vegetables and gravy.
Thursday is yet to be decided. Possibly a lazy risotto.
Friday may be Pizza Hut/pizza express night.

Thanks
