Playing catch up!
well, I seem to have got over my’ back to work blues’ from the begining of the week, isn’t funny how, just after a couple of days back, you feel like you have never been away :) I am totally up to date at work, I have been hard at it all week and today I am off so that I can play catch up at home!!!!
I normally spend all my weekends, cooking, washing, ironing and generally catching up, after a full week at work, so today I have tried to complete all the weekends tasks today, so far I have done three loads of washing, put all the groceries away and prepared tonights tea. I have also put the slow cook on with that potato peelings soup in, it smells great, but needs another 6 hours yet!!
I am just about to collect ds2 from school and then we are off to the hairdresser, so that he can have his hair cut, then after tea, I will drop oh off at work, he sometimes works on a Friday evening, ( his part time job)
I have just completed next week menu plan:
Saturday lunch : home made potato peelings sc soup with wholemeal bread
Saturday tea: Nigella’s mustard pork chops with gnocchi
Sunday lunch: home made sheppards pie with veg ( roast chicken in oven, at same time)
Sunday tea: home made pizza with wedges
work lunchs: take hm soup to work for lunch for the next couple of days.
Monday Tea: Roast chicken with pasta
Tuesday: home made chicken madras, with brown rice
Wednesday: oven baked cod, mash and peas
Thursday: Tanya Ramseys slow cook butter bean chicken casserole with boiled potatoes
Friday: oven baked sasauges, jacket potatoes and beans

About me:
welcome to my penny pinching pantry :)
This is my favourite selection of frugal, old fashioned recipes. please feel free to comment and add to them. I am a huge Nigella Lawson fan and there are loads of her recipes featured here, mostly they are from her latest series, Nigella Express.
I live and work in North Yorkshire. I am married and have two boys, (11 & 23) and a fab black labrador, who is the total baby of the family!

That is an awesome menu!!! I’m on a major cut back diet right now. Do you have Jenny Craig there? It’s a diet plan where you eat only their food. That’s what I’m doing now until I get this extra weight off.
by the way, what do you do for work?
hi april,
no, I have never heard of Jenny Craig, tell me more…
