  • Just trying to fill in a few gaps in next weeks meal plan. A

    Any suggestions for what to make for dinner with some chicken???

    Also trying to think of some non-sandwich lunch ideas or at the very least more interesting sandwich fillings!

    If you click on this link it might give you some ideas for the chicken.
    Here is another lunch thread someone started.
    Cold quiche/frittata is a favourite of mine, or wraps instead of bread (or at least was when I worked). Fillings depend on your taste I suppose but I find a spoonful nice relish or pickle (a fancy posh one) can cheer any sandwich up! Is it a home or work lunch ?
    (I am sure someone else might post better links soon but this might do in the meantime!).

    MIL is arriving today for three days (with SFIL) - it's a 'let's support son who has been diagnosed with Parkinsons' visit, which is nice, but it's not ideal timing for me, as I need to work all weekend (as usual for this time of year).

    So ...

    Saturday dinner: roast lamb, roast potato, roast parsnip, carrots, green beans, gravy (MIL's favourite)
    Sunday lunch: at pub
    Sunday dinner: hm soup of some sort (probably lentil or maybe a barley brothy sort of thing), crumble & cream
    Monday dinner: sheperds pie with the leftover lamb, peas & carrots
    Tuesday (just us again): chicken satay and rice (frankfurters for the child who doesn't like spicy things)
    Wednesday: spaghetti bolognese
    Thursday: leftover bolognese turned into chilli, rice, tortillas
    Friday: last night's chinese takeaway leftovers retrieved from freezer - crispy beef, mixed veg and rice - and then add to that with duck in plum sauce

    Hi
    I'm late this week - I was in the US until Friday and then in Wales collecting the dog from his "nana" all weekend.

    So this week.....
    • Monday - leek and potato soup (leftovers for lunch on Tues)
    • Tuesday - something to use up fresh peppers, onions, mushrooms - not sure what yet, don't fancy chilli again, perhaps a veggie curry?
    • Wednesday - enchiladas
    • Thursday - BBQ "chicken/quorn" and wild rice
    • Friday - something easy out of the freezer and chips/wedges
    We'll see...
    I should have everything I need to make all of the above and am trying to stretch the shopping out into next week too.
  • Bit late in posting again this week, but have been following my MealPlan so far...

    sat: Chilli w/ jackets
    sun: Chicken Curry (made with thigh meet for first time - less than half the cost + super tasty - so will do that again for sure!)
    mon: Tuna Pasta Bake (made extras for freezing but didn't get it into the freezer quick enough - OH stolen it for his lunch! )
    tue: HM Pizza
    wed: Toad in the Hole
    thu: Sardines w/ salsa
    fri: Aubergine Parmigano

    lunches; leftovers, corned beef sandwich, tinned tomatoes on toast, tuna melt.
