  • Ok, I've never done a meal plan & I rarely cook. I've looked at your menu plans & its got me very motivated. My OH used to cook all the meals , but now he has started his new course & working he can no longer do this. I get in from work usually around 6-7 (but still have work things to do) & OH get in at about 8.30-9ish.
    I was thinking of things that I can make then eat at a later date. I know this may be a silly question for some. But can the seafood meals be frozen?

    Anyway here it is so far:

    Monday: Thai shrimp curry & rice (I looked at frugalswan's menu & liked the sound of it)
    Tuesday: Paella ( I looked at Naomim's menu & liked the sound of it)
    Wednesday:Spaghetti
    Thursday: coq au vin
    Friday: Not sure

    I was thinking of making most of the meals today & Sunday & then freezing them so I use it for the week.
  • some lovely mealplans there
