That's not to say I didn't try to cook, I managed a disastrous attempt at rhubarb syrup, burnt a chicken casserole, ditto a vegetable soup. So towards the end of the week I relied heavily on leftovers. Tonight we had omlettes.
Truth be told we do need to clear down both freezers - the other plans that are keeping us going in the direction of moving in together are all in fifth gear. Two full freezers (that I keep adding tupperware to) are not going at the same speed. So this week comes to you, courtesy of reclaiming my tupperware. Freezer surprise it is.
Breakfast: I'm alternating the porridge with 0% fat greek yoghurt, each with fruit.
Lunches: Lifechanging soup and soda bread for me, supplemented by lots of fruit
Dinners:
Monday: Shepherd's pie (filling was frozen on Christmas Eve) with steamed veggies
Tuesday: Freezer surprise - I have my eye on what I suspect is leftover casserole, but it could also be pie filling.
Wednesday: From the freezer again, lentil ragu (I've got a bit of leftover chorizo from last week's chilli to perk it up a bit)
Thursday: Carbonara (I took a risk and froze leftovers)
Friday: M's off to his parents for Mother's Day, having done my daughterly duties this weekend I'm at home and will be indulging in poached smoked haddock and peas. A meal guaranteed to get M running for the hills if there ever was one.
Saturday: Truthfully I'm not sure, I could just dig around and see what I come up with. I know there's more bolognaise in there, and ditto to lentil ragu. But I'm going to be keeping to the pattern.
Sunday: Church Parade and a massage for me, so food is probably going to lag behind those somewhat. I do actually quite fancy cooking something but as yet inspiration is sorely lacking. I'll think on it and come back to this. Maybe.
Baking: This week will be banana bread as I have a fruitbowl full of overripe bananas, and also some more blood orange curd.
As an upside, I think the only shopping I need for that lot is eggs. Score!
Be sure to pop on over to At Home with Mrs M and see what everyone else is up to.

I did this the other week! Then found I had to fill my freezers back up... I forgot about that bit lol.
Banana bread sounds good. I don't get leftover bananas here mind. Good luck with the suprises.
Like the sound of blood orange curd - I've been getting into making my own preserves over the last year or two. My preserve cupboard is full to bursting now - sounds like your freezers.
Nice easy shopping week!
