whose really organised and has decided what's for dinner for the week already?

[brimfull]

tell me so I don't have to think about it.I hate deciding what to cook.

Not me haven't even done shop and now bloody snowed in !

No-one surely. Those sort of mums only exist in our imaginations don't they?

snowed in where ?

we'll have chicken on one day (because we always do) I'll probably do some kind of pasta on one day (because we always do and on one day we may have a pie (because I've got one in the freezer.

Does that count as menu planning?

Rossendale Lancs, looks like day off tom building snowmen and eating v little!

Monday-ham and salad
Tuesday-pasta and pesto
Wednesday-lamb and chickpea tagine (in freezer)
Thursday-chilli con carne (in freezer)
Friday-poached salmon,rice and greens
Saturday-Staffordshire oatcakes and cheese

not bad squonk,3/5,what will you do with the chicken though?

moondog,staffordshire oatckaes and cheese is a snack surely?

moondog - what's a tagine?

and what will I do with the chicken? Thought I'd cook it the dcs complain when I give it to them raw.

Posh name for stew

Sleepycat - can I come to your house? That all sounds yummy

fussy little buggers

ggirl,they are big floppy ones like pancakes,not biscuit affairs.

moondog, can I have your freezer

Im like sleepcat. I have to plan or else 1) I waste time and 2) I waste money..

I do make a meal plan and then a shopping list.

We waste too much food...news.bbc.co.uk New figures show about a third of food grown for human consumption in the UK ends up being thrown away.

aah, sleepycat - you're having a lamb tagine with dumplings!

I always know, because we've gone to Tesco and bought the stuff already and I can't shop 'blind'.

Tonight was chicken tagine and couscous, lamb curry tomorrow, tagine again on Tues, gammon with mash and green beans on Weds then we are away for the weekend .

I now now what im having, just going to copy sleepycats menu!!!

I need to plan

TR,it's dead easy one you get into the habit.
I have to be organised.My dh is away and I work. Also have 2 kids.Without such aforethought,we would be scrabbling in people's bins.
