I'm going to sound very annoying, but by doing a monthly meal plan, I can write in when I'm going to eat all those servings and then I'm less likely to forget. There are some good 'storecupboard' recipes around which I use quite a bit. Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's chick pea pasta is good - sounds unlikely but it's delicious and the only fresh thing you need is a lemon (which I always have, for gin)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838426651793558151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-5156057300274060602012-07-08T17:26:28.246+01:002012-07-08T17:26:28.246+01:00I menu plan but my goodness that is incredible, co...I menu plan but my goodness that is incredible, couldn't do a month at once!

I end up bulk cooking, throwing it in the freezer & forgetting it's there. <br /><br />We end up buying takeout too much because I have full cupboards (tins & packets) but no fresh meat or veg!<br /><br />I need help!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777201989424159161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-79822563863998775172012-07-06T13:22:26.352+01:002012-07-06T13:22:26.352+01:00I sort of meal plan, with monthly or fortnightly s...I sort of meal plan, with monthly or fortnightly supermarket shops it works out so that I decide on weekend main dinners, cook as if there were four, five or six of us and then we have portions in the fridge and freezer to eat during the week. As they add up we can mix them about a bit. Planning usually comes from the meats and fish that are on offer for a particular delivery rather than going through the recipe books-one day it will work like that and Delia, Hugh, Good Food and Olive will guide me again...

I do like a monthly plan because I can work out bulk cooking better (e.g. one lot of bolognaise sauce for 4 meals etc) Otherwise I forget that I've bulk cooked and go and get more mince (or whatever)...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838426651793558151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-51036414872984917252012-07-06T10:30:38.798+01:002012-07-06T10:30:38.798+01:00I need to meal plan, but I use a weekly plan, I dr...I need to meal plan, but I use a weekly plan, I dream of being able to do a monthly one!leonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239119655810420301noreply@blogger.com
