I do try and usually stick to it rather well but nothing is ever written in stone. I'm ashamed to admit I still occasionally have leftovers to throw out. I need to plan better, right? Thanks for sharing! I so admire you for being able to do the meal planning thing. I do try and usually stick to it rather well but nothing is ever written in stone.

This helps to reduce our food waste. This week that includes chicken with leftover roast potatoes and vegetables Smoothies made from 1/2 pineapple and 1/2 tin fruit And shepherds pie made from some leftover minced beef. The lentil casserole recipe sounds lovely; I love the idea of mixing lentils with oats; it's going to be really filling with minimal cost. I'll be trying that one this week. Thanks for the inspiration!
