Menu plan week 13 & 14

I cannot believe we are into Week 13 and 14 already!  Still no work commenced on the new house, although the old one is well and truly gone.  I am hoping this fortnight sees things starting to happen!

I ended up shuffling around last fortnights menu plan and "accumulated" some extra food I had not planned for.  We also ended up eating out once and I headed out for dinner with girlfriends another evening.  So all in all the freezer is still pretty full.  The fortnightly food and grocery bills came in at $346 - pretty happy with that given the eating out factor!

I need to work extra days and hours this week so I am hoping that my groceries (with the help of a fruit and veg box delivery) may last until the weekend when I will get my first chance to head to the shops to try another Aldi shop.  Unfortunately this does not make for a very interesting menu this week as I use up things like the frozen veg and oven bake chips in the freezer.

I am also using some meal bases that Mars sent me after I wrote in to Dolmio about my Lasagne recipe.

Here is the plan:

Wednesday -  Crumbed chicken wings, lemon risotto and peas

Thursday – Lamb chops with oven chips, peas and carrot

Friday – Carbonara (Using the Dolmio Carbonara meal base but adding mushrooms)

Saturday - Chicken meatball soup and Choc-hazelnut bread and butter pudding (from latest Superfood ideas)

Sunday – Meatloaf with oven chips and salad plus make some Tuna mornay pies to freeze (from latest Superfood ideas)

Monday – Leftovers

Tuesday –Curried sausages (Using Masterfoods Curried Sausages recipe base) with mash, peas and beans

Wednesday – Country beef casserole (Using Masterfoods Country Beef Casserole recipe base) with rice, peas and asparagus

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Chicken cacciatore risotto

Saturday – Beef and vegetable casserole with rosemary dumplings with Apple and butterscotch sponge pudding (both from latest Superfood ideas)

Sunday – Leftovers

Monday – Enchiladas and rice

Tuesday – Leftovers
