Slow cooker braising steak, with onions, celery, carrots, parsnips and mashed potatoes.

My home made meatball Marinara went down a treat. I couldn't be bothered to cook pasta so had it with veggie rice, which soaked the sauce up nicely!

Very surprisingly a tasty meall for a Meatless Monday!  Crispy Battered No Beef Strips with Sweet Chilli Sauce on a bed of Quinoa,Pumpkin & Sunflowers seeds with wholegrain Basmati rice! The 'Plant Menu' strips were a bit 'tight' on the chilli sauce but luckily I had some of my own!

B. Sourdough bread & Blackcurrant jam
L. Lettuce, coleslaw, tomatoes and smoked cheese
Doughnut
D. Fridge clearout meal - brussels sprouts & broccoli in hoisin sauce on a bed of couscous. Tasted better than it sounds!

All FREE

Poached eggs on toast for breakfast, leftover pork fried rice for lunch and spaghetti bolognaise for tea. Bang on the calories today.

I couln't be bothered to cook so a Chicken Korma and rice, zapped in the microwave!

Roast chicken dinner

B. Sourdough bread & blackcurrant jam
L. Doritos and a banana
D. Jacket potatoes, lettuce and tuna mayonnaise.

Cost? The Tuna may have been a free tin or a Lidl cheapo. the rest was FREE.

Yesterday Tomato soup with toasted cheese sandwiches then today cheesy hotdog wraps with a potatoes, french beans and roasted toms both from the freezer.

Tomorrow is likely to be slow cooked beef massaman curry. P's never had it before although I remember it fondly from being a kid in Thailand, I wonder if it'll taste the same or whether P will approve, he's got two choices eat or go hungry.
