Off work this week so can give myself a good restart ready for following week!

Sun - Lunch- speed soup Dinner - Slow cooked beef with chilli garlic and lime served with rice

Mon - Speed Soup Dinner - Chicken and veg stir fry with soy and satay sauce (1 syn) served with noodles

Tues - Lunch -Baked potato with tuna, salad and light seafood sauce Dinner- Bolognese

Wed - Lunch -not sure, prob a pasta n sauce with added veg Dinner - Speed soup blended used as sauce for chicken and pasta.

Thurs - lunch - SW ploughmans - Salad, hexA cheese, beetroot, pickle (1syn), ham Dinner- Veggie green thai curry and noodles

Fri - Lunch- Ham onion and tomato omelette Dinner -Beef and veg casserole

Sat - Lunch - Whatever is left over from bulk cooking, either casserole or speed soup Dinner - Chilli and rice


Feeling nice and calm and organised having planned, this might be the start of something!

We actually didn't enjoy it at all unfortunately! Was a recipe I found on omnom365 but in future I would just stir fry the same ingredients. Beef flavour matures in a slow cooker and I thought it was a bit overpowering with the other strong flavours of the lime, garlic etc. Just personal preference though! Sorry I can't post a link but if you find it and try it I hope you enjoy! X
