$50 fortnight menu Week 2 - Days 3,4 & 5

Hi all,
Firstly I apologise again for the late post. :( Work does tend to get in the way.

I have 3 days, meals here for you today.... so let's jump straight into it.

Day 3

Breakfast
Omelette.
My omelette today had a bit of chopped onion and a bit of grated cheese.

Lunch
Leftover Pumpkin Curry.
As with most curries, the flavours of this had mellowed and just got better the next day.

Dinner
Chicken, Pasta with Bacon and Tomato
I cut the meat off 2 large thighs (and kept the bones for my pumpkin soup later in the week)
Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and fry off in some butter with some chopped onion and 1/2 rasher of bacon.
Meanwhile boil the 1 /2 cups pasta until al dente.
When the pasta is cooked, add it to the pan with the chicken/bacon and gently stir in about 1/2 can of tinned tomatoes.
Heat through and serve.
(This made enough for 3 good sized servings.)

Day 4

Breakfast
Baked Beans on Toast

Lunch
Leftover Chicken Pasta from last night

Dinner
Fried Rice.
(I actually cooked the rice for this last night. I find fried rice is always better with cold cooked rice to start)
Boil 1 cup of rice . Once cooked, spread out on a try and leave to go cold. Overnight in the fridge is good.
In a pan, melt a tablespoon of butter ( you actually need a fair bit of butter, because you do want to actually "fry" the rice) Sautee off some chopped onion,diced carrot and bacon. Add in the cold rice and stir until everything is coated in melted butter. I also added in a cube of frozen spinach that I defrosted and roughly chopped.
