Sorry, have sooooooo much work to do today I just don't have anytime to look through recipe books so am relying on the experience of all you wise mumsnetters.

We have the following:
Potatoes
Carrots,
Broccoli
small onions
cherry tomatoes
salad
courgettes
mushrooms

In the freezer we have:
Large chicken
fillet of pork

What would you plan for the week?

A roast with the chicken, potatoes, carrots and broccoli.

Then a meal with the left over chicken, salad, tomatoes and maybe a baked potato.

Maybe pasta with pork, courgettes and mushrooms.

I might make roasted tomatoes and onions and then toss them with some pasta and a few glugs of olive oil.

eat the salad and broccoli first.

so, tonight you could have pasta with broccoli and cherry tomatoes (orecchiette is traditional with broccoli, but other pasta shapes like penne and fusilli are good too - I have had this made by an Italian friend with anchovies and garlic, really nice).

Take the chicken out tonight so defrosted for tomorrow. Roast with potatoes and carrots, have broccoli with it if any left over.

left over chicken could be eaten cold the following day with salad, or turned into risotto (with salad). Any more scraps and chicken carcass could be thick soup (onions).

finally, you could have fillet of pork with some kind of mushroom sauce. Or just keep the mushrooms for breakfast (mushrooms on toast with garlic, lemon and parsley)
