A few cheap meals

I have a vague meal plan in my head, I don't write it down because if Steve saw it he'd immediately decide he didn't want what was on the plan and then food would be wasted.


I've made a pan of spicy turkey soup that will do for lunch for a couple of days.  I have a three rashers of bacon in the fridge that need using up, I shall make a bacon and onion hot pot  with them. I have rather a lot of cheese in the fridge, left over from the Christmas cheese board we were given and rather a lot of eggs so a cheese omelette is on the cards too.

I  put fish pie mix on the shopping list, Steve bought two lots as he didn't think there was enough for two of us in one packet. I expect each pack will make four servings, so we will be eating fish pie every week for a month!

I should give more attention to using up leftovers!

My favourite quick meal is fry onion and a few mushrooms, add vegetarian mince, add small (or large) tin of tomatoes. Stir in half a mug of thick bisto gravy. Pour the lot over pasta. Top with grated cheese.

I could live on it.

I think I've written before, if not I have certainly thought it- that you are a truly resourceful woman. Some good meals planned there. You might have to start writing your menu plans in code...
Steve as a shopper makes for some fun stories!

I'm very hot on using all the food I've paid for.

Jan, Steve and shopping! It could be a blog all on its own!

When you've planned and prepared a tasty meal and Steve says he doesn't want it, aren't you ever tempted to produce a cheese sandwich for him to eat while watching you eating something infinitely nicer?!!

I'm used to Steve's food anxiety now so I often cook a nice meal for me and let him have a pot noodle or other crap of his choice.

And repeat.

We are meeting Steve's friend Bob for lunch today he's bringing his wife so I'm included in the invitation. But firstly the supe...
