• Friday - Hot dogs, sausage rolls, mini sausages, vegetable spring rolls, side salad and crisps.

• Saturday - Beef stew with sessional vegetables, dumplings and mashed potatoes.

• Sunday - Roast Chicken with sage and onion stuffing, roast potatoes, mash potatoes, carrots and garden peas.

• Monday - Mild Chicken Fajitas with a fresh crispy side salad

• Tuesday - Rogan Josh Chicken Curry, pillar rice, coriander and garlic nan bread.

• Wednesday - Pork loin chops with apple sauce, runner beans, sweetcorn and boiled minted potatoes.

• Thursday - Baked sausages, with roasted butternut squash and red onions, carrots and broccoli and mash potatoes.

I hope you are enjoying the menus and it is giving you an idea for some of your own meals. It is still helping us with the budgeting and the shopping. I know the girls are finding it fun and helps give them an input into what we eat.
