Menu Monday

I haven't done this for awhile - but here is how our week dinner wise is going to shape up ... we're nearly finished a week of emptying the pantry/fridge/freezer - I would encourage you to do this if you're able.  It will mean a bigger shop next week, so somewhat false economy BUT it means all the older stuff gets used, and those odd cans of things you pushed to the back of the pantry because you changed your mind about a menu item - do get used up.

Monday - Roast Lamb with spuds/carrots/cauli
Tuesday - Leftover roast lamb (hopefully) risotto - frozen peas/carrots/corn/onion OTHERWISE vegetarian pasta
Wednesday - town and shopping day.  We'll probably have chicken nuggets (not the healthiest, but need to finish the bag in the freezer) coleslaw and oven baked chips
Thursday - Lamb shanks with lentils and garlic mash
Friday - Lamb chops with rice, fried cabbage and homemade tomatoe sauce
Saturday -Mince and pasta (using leek/capsicum/onion/mushroom)  Make sure i fry a double batch of mince so can get Sunday's meal ready also
Sunday - Shepherds pie.

That's it folks ... our week in food.  Lunches are currently sandwiches with apricot chutney and cheese.  We're experimenting a bit with breakfasts as the kids are just not into porridge at the moment.  We have one gluten free - so he gets cornflakes and fruit while the others are having weetbix and fruit.  DH and I are enjoying muesli.
