So onto this week's plan: Ideally I only want to do a shop for fruit, veg and some this week as I have just roasted a chicken so would like to use that up to make the £10 well spent.
I also want to make ratatouille this week, essentially for the freezer, but to use up some veg that is close to turning. Fridge bottom ratatouille as it were.
Monday: Roast chicken and all the trimmings, roast potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, spring greens, broccoli, stuffing and gravy.
Tuesday: Leftover roast chicken and veggies
Wednesday: Leftover pie (last night's tea) a yummy Pieminster one that I only managed half of - chicken of aragon - so again with veggies.
(Note to self - strip chicken of meat and make stock)
Thursday: Chicken and mushroom risotto
(Also make soup for freezer)
Friday: Tarragon chicken - I'll blog it this time I promise - with veggies
I need to stick with the meal plan again this week. And no swerving off for snacks or puddings either!
Next time, the cupcakes and the fairy Godmother! Brownies honour

That's a whole lot of chicken! Yum!
How do you find the savoury Pieminster pies? I've only tried a sweet one and I didn't like it all, wasn't keen on the pastry. Am thinking I need to try a savoury one.
That is, it's the peril of living practically above the butcher!
I've not tried a sweet one although I saw there was one out for the wedding - this was from Borough market, I introduced M to the chaos that it is on Saturday, and we brought these back. Sainsos has them some times, but I find they're only reasonable value if you stretch them over two meals, otherwise it's £3 each plus veggies for an evening meal.
