Hiya!! I do a combination of all three plans. Maybe a fraction more EE days than the others. I don't have a weekly plan, I hate the restriction of having to eat what I planned a week before when I may not necessarily feel like eating that particular food on the day. So I decide what we're having for dinner during the day and then text DH to get the ingredients I need (because he gets home before me most days) and that's it! As a result we go shopping pretty much every day but DH only likes fresh food anyway.

Sure Honey, I make a huge pot though, so I guess it can be halved or even quartered to reduce syns:
Okay my huge pot feeds about 15-16 (or 5 people over 3-4 days!)
Ingredients:
Medium/large onion
1 tube of tomato puree
4 tins of plum tomatoes
2-3 couple of scotch bonnet peppers (depends on how spicy you like it, these can be left out though)
Chicken stock (I usually boil chicken pieces with a stock cube thrown in and use the water from that)
I use 22 tbsp of oil (O_O)
Optional: Garlic; bay leaf
Method:
Throw your tinned tomatoes and scotch bonnets (remove stems) in a blender and blend till smooth.
Heat your big pot; Chop up your onion. Add 5 tbsp of oil to the pot and fry your onions till light brown (you could add finely chopped garlic to this part).
Pour in the tinned tomato mixture - add another 5 tbsp of oil.
Fry this mixture until it starts 'spitting' - then add the whole tube of tomato puree and the remainder of the oil (12 tbsp).
This mixture has to fry until it looks a little 'beany' (lol) and the oil flows to the surface (at this point you can skim off the excess oil if you want, it's served it's purpose); it needs constant stirring because it can burn easily underneath. I usually cook it on a really low heat for this part. It takes longer, but it's worth it!
Add the chicken stock and put it up to full heat (could add bay leaf here)- it's ready when it starts 'spitting' again and is reduced. Add your chicken pieces (note: after boiling the chicken, I throw them in the oven with a bit of Frylight for a little while, so they're not too soft when they go into the stew. That way they don't go to pieces).
Voila! Stewy goodness! My family has it with rice normally, sometimes mixed with some wilted spinach too, but honestly it's good on anything and to my knowledge it keeps in the fridge for a good couple of days at least. My mum does a fish variation that's awesome, I will be getting that recipe from her too. Enjoy!

EEK! How many syns is 22 tblsp of oil?? Sounds lovely though.

Lol, it comes up to a staggering 132 syns *faints*
But when you divvy up the portions it comes to 9 syns (inc. puree worked out at 6.5 for the whole tube)! The funny thing is, if not for the oil, it's pretty syn-friendly. But it needs to be fried and frylight just won't cut it! I usually make it once a week, and I only have the one portion, I leave the rest for the family. I suppose skimming the oil off the top would reduce the syns somewhat after the main cooking process.
