Meal Planning Monday - 2 Jan 2012

Welcome to 2012! I am trying to muster up enthusiasm as this time of year generally leaves me feeling a little flat. Following on from my get a grip in January post, here is this week's meal plan. I am cross with Asda as what should have cost £57.24, actually cost £64.44 as they delivered a piece of beef more than twice as large as ordered. It's put me over budget for the week so I will try and claw that back at some point.
  • BBQ Chicken fajita layer (only uses half a pack of wraps if I make it like lasagne)
  • beef pot roast (using up leftover roasties and Yorkshire puds from freezer)
  • meatloaf (using turkey mince as it's cheapest, and left over packet of stuffing)
  • sausage casserole
  • egg, beans and chips
  • beer chicken
  • ham and potato casserole (using left over gammon from freezer)
Don't forget to check out the linky on Mrs M's blog for more menu ideas.

  1. Beer chicken sounds interesting. Have you made it before?

  2. No, not yet. I haven't got an exact recipe but it goes something like chicken, veg, beer and stock in the slow cooker for a couple of hours, the thicken some of the liquid to make a sauce.

  3. Sounds lovely! I've never made a meatloaf before but it's been on my things to do for ages.
