Menu Planning Monday.


Ola people!

Monday - Korean keema, with lettuce instead of rice (been too indulgent recently so have a few lbs to shift)

Tuesday - Chicken noodle soup

Wednesday - Ham, egg and sweet potato wedges

Thursday - on my lonesome for the evening so probably something quick with prawns or eggs; there are some mushrooms and ricotta cheese in the fridge so may recreate Saturday's dish

Friday - ditto yesterday, although have just added rocket and spring onions to this weeks shopping list to ring the changes

Saturday - Indian! Meeting friends and their kids at our local, armed with money-off vouchers and our own booze as they aren't licensed - makes for a cheaper evening!

Sunday - No idea.

We're trying a different way of grocery shopping budgeting at the moment, in the expectation that we'll be seriously skint if we buy this house. Trying to avoid the common pitfall of popping out for a pint of milk and coming home with twenty quid's worth of unnecessary items (several times a week!), so we are putting cash into a pot to cover everything - and when it's gone, it's gone. Didn't quite stick to it last week, always an excuse, but am sure we spent less than we would have done without the plan. 

Off you go to see what Mrs M has planned this week!
