My menu plan...and I'm actually sticking to it !!

Ok, so there's a little repetition in there (2 chicken pies, 2 lasagnes), but I had to do some batch cooking because of work/study commitments. But I'm sticking to the plan !! It's great to be able to look at my menu each night and see if I need to defrost anything, or start preparations.

There's always - always - some baking around for puddings, or there's usually ice cream in the freezer and of course fresh fruit.

And I have to say - I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself right now !!

  1. How do you do that?? I could never stick to a menu. I basically am day to day in meal planning.

  2. Julia - I've 'intended' so many times to sick to a menu plan, but this time I've actually managed it. It helps that I'm almost broke this month, lol, so Im not tempted to buy extra stuff at he supermarket, cus I couldn't afford it anyway!!

    I must admit....I'm enjoying the wonderful 'smug' feeling of having the menu up on my pinboard and hearing Dave say, 'oh great !! Pasties and wedges tonight !!'.
