Hello. I've had a couple of weeks off meal planning as life has just been too hectic here at Pantry HQ. That's not to say that meal planning hasn't been taking place - it has to, in order for me to budget and shop, but it's had to be flexible as I'm still in the completely exhausted camp. Any suggestions for overcoming permanent and overwhelming tiredness are incredibly welcome.
This week and next week are somewhat short weeks in the Pantry due to my work schedule, once again I'll be at the mercy of Premier Inn and their fantastic breakfasts, yet somewhat dubious and bland dinner menus. That said, the steak was lovely last time but I'll start mooing if I eat steak every night!
Monday: Chorizo, Butternut Squash and Cannelini bean chilli (possibly with cornbread depending on when I get in tomorrow)
Tuesday: Probably leftovers, although if not it'll be freezer surprise.
Wednesday - Thursday I'll be working away
Friday: I have a packet of lovely local bacon to use, so possibly Nigella's carbonara
Saturday: I'm not sure what we have planned this weekend so possibly a casserole of some description and on Sunday I've promised Mark the roast he missed out on tonight.
So that's us, hopefully the freezer surprise, and using up what's in the fridge and pantry will keep costs down, as well as make life a bit easier for me. Be sure to head on over to At Home with Mrs M to see what she and everyone else is up to.

Ooh freezer surprise - is that like freezer roulette when you're not quite sure what you're getting until it's defrosted?
My freezer surprise is normally discovering that I've forgotten to get dinner out of the freezer in the first place!
Exactly that Mrs M - when I put it in there I know exactly what and where it is, when I take it out - who knows!
Helen, that's my other trick too. Toast and marmite features quite heavily when that happens though!
