NOTES

* I don't cook on Sundays. We are generally busy with church or family get togethers. I cook six nights a week for my family so Sunday night is their turn to serve me. It also gives them a chance to learn new skills in the kitchen.

*  The menu plan is not set in stone. If something comes up I just swap it around.

* I always defrost the meat in the fridge as it's the safest way I know. If something comes up and we can't eat it that night, it's safe for another day.

* The veggies we eat are the cheapest in season I can find. We also have lots of blanched veggies in the freezer. Someone commented on an earlier menu saying we eat a lot of potato. As I said, the menu isn't set in stone. Some nights I look at the menu and might change the mash to rice.

* We don't have any special dietary requirement in my family.

* We rarely have dessert as the main meals are enough.

* Left overs are frozen that night and written into the menu plan as a free / freezer meal.
