I usually make bread and soup on Sunday night (especially now it's colder) and usually some type of pastry to fill everyone up, sometimes it's vegetarian sausauge rolls or quiche, tonight it was chicken pinwheels from Dinner Spinner (made some with pesto, fetta and spinach as well for vegetarians). I like to have a soup in the fridge to take for lunches, too. I usually make mashed potato at least once a week. Almost every week I make pizza.

On school holidays I make chicken stock paste, vegie stock paste, umami paste and washing powder to stock up. Yet to master yogurt.

I never consistently plan, although there will be bread of some sort (love Cobb loaf and my own basic bread recipe, and also JO's Sourcream loaf, FFS Granuesli), smoothies, make EasiYo yogurt but am experimenting with faffas, always cook with the TM but there are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many recipes we are not confined to a boring regime. Alll the recipes of my CP63 list .

Don't bake my bread as I only have Sundays at home.
Cakes, slices, biscuits, muffins etc
Veges, pasta, chicken, fish, meat.
I usually try & cook 2 different meals on Sunday. Do enough to freeze one meal of each.
Exercise is a dirty word... Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate

What i make weekly but not all in  *: as am still getting used to it and working out how to convert regular dishes.
I am not yet on auto  *: mode for  *: cooking, but I did miss it on holiday however the owner of our hol house is an excellent cook and she provided 6 meals  at very reasonable cost. Partly cos they were huge and each meal did 2 meals ! Far cheaper than eating out. Eating out in a pub is much more. We spent more on the first weekend on food out than for the next week and it was good and we had puddings too.
Gave me new ideas too. It was so great not havin g to think what to cook or buy. She had a list and we chose it. I loved Welsh cawl and am waiting for recipe to be emailed. That would work in TMX I think, or part of it. I am lucky and will always slow cook in Aga though. Will try to post recipes when have tested in  *:, but not this week!

Bread and English muffins several times
Cake and or biccies. Often a fatless sponge made in Kenwood.
soups
Porridge, may try in TMX soon.
Custards/ sauces
Salads with cold meat, hard boiled eggs or cheese

Mince or stew
Roast dinners
Leftovers into shepherd pie or rissoles
Mash, rice, roasties or potatoe wedges

Fortnightly fajitas, toad in the hole, bolognaise, fried fish with egg and breadcrumbs, pizza, savoury flan like onion

Kids love fish pie, pasta and tuna, carbonara, but DH does not so we have these when he is away.

Have to do lots of meals as DH is farmer and home for lunch every day too.

Traditional Victoria sponge is butter, eggs, sugar, flour

This sponge has no butter and with very fresh eggs is as light as a feather, still has sugar though.
Will post recipe IDC, but I don't make in TMX.

I don't do exactly the same every week.

Bread or no fuss rolls.
Muffins, a slice or scones for DH for smoko
Caramelised onion, mushroom and fetta tarts (they are always requested by work friends) so need to keep them in the freezer
Fried rice for the feezer.

Well no hens at moment but usually yes.
The difference between shop bought and from hens when baking is huge.

Shop bought still ok though. Will post later but it won't be converted. Will put in non TMX recipe section if that's ok.

Cheers DJ

PS I think I am tending to experiment more now with new recipes since just DH and I at home. However troops coming home soon and may revert to old habits as easier when busy and guaranteed to be eaten!
