Belated Menu Plan Monday - 21st July
Notes on last fortnight's menu:
The frittata was nice but it made quite a lot. We only ate half and the rest got wasted as no-one seemed inclined to eat it as was, and I couldn't think of any way to disguise it or use it in something else. (Any ideas?)
I blogged about my success with the plymouth pie, so it's a definite keeper. The thai wraps were quite yummy - I think they'd make a good lunch.
I swapped a few meals around last week. The chicken pie with herby cobbler topping turned into a chicken laksa as I didn't feel like cooking anything 'heavy'. The braised beef with herby dumplings was delicious. The roast chicken carcass made some more stock which then turned into a vegetable soup to go in the freezer for lunches. I ate all of the creamy potato soup this week so I need to make some more of that too.
I also made all of our bread products for the fortnight - quite chuffed with myself about that! I made some normal bread, tortillas, the one hour french bread I've mentioned before, and made up a beer bread to go with the chili con carne (worked beautifully with it!)
To use up this week:
* Bit of Bacon & scrambled egg
* 1 piece of crumbed chicken
Menu Plan this week:
I'm getting a bulk order of beef & pork tomorrow so menu planning is very sketchy until I see what we have there.
Monday - crumbed chicken and chips
Tuesday - some sort of casserole I've pulled out of the freezer - it doesn't have a label!
Wednesday - steak & veges
Thursday - pork?
Friday - fried rice (using bacon, egg and leftover chicken)
Saturday - ? not sure if Pete will be home for tea
Sunday - roast pork & veges

Eating from the garden:
* various herbs
* radish
Planting this week:
* haven't decided yet - have heaps of seeds coming from Diggers this week (yay!)
See my "Quick Updates" over on the side to see what I've been up to in the garden lately.

That all sounds yummy and healthy :)
Kez - the challenges you are undertaking frighten the living scissors out of me! I guess if I applied myself I'd be able to comply, but...but...but, no, I'm really wondering if I could. We'd spend more than $21 a fortnight on milk, let alone anything else. Maybe it's time to buy a cow?
btw: fritata in a jaffle is scrumptious....you can tart it up with tomato sauce or chutney or sweet chilli.
