Curry and rice

However I planned ages ago and since them ds's dad has offered to tae him for the hols and I picked up a 3kg whole salmon for £5 so will be a few fish dishes and maybe some more exotic fare on there instead. Everything I don't do will freeze/ keep and be used another time

Long time lurker - first post on meal planning. We are 4 adults and a 7 year old.

Sun: Roast pork, roast pots, carrot & swede mash, cauli, peas, yorkshire puds & gravy
bread & butter pud made with hot X buns - custard

Mon: Fish and home made overn chips, peas

Tues: Chicken pasta bake / fresh bread

Wed: Roast chicken, mashed pots, broccoli, carrots & peas
roasted apples / pears / plums + natural yoghurt

Thurs: bolognese and pasta / fresh bread

Fri: Chicken curry / rice / nan bread

Sat: Lamb stew - has potatoes/carrots/onions/swede in it so just served with a bit of bread for dunking.

Breakfasts are usually toast and / or porridge with a few bits of dried fruit on top / at the weekends maybe but not always eggs or beans with hash browns and sausages or bacon - if we have that on a Saturday there is no lunch.

Lunches are usually ham / cheese / tuna sandwiches for 7 year old + fruit & yoghurt and a biscuit if at school. If he's at home, soup or beans on toast, fish fingers home made oven chips with peas or beans. He normally chooses - as it's only him. For the ones at work, it's normally soup or sandwiches, fruit and yoghurt.

There will be nothing left over from the Pork today - the joint is enough for the dinner - if there is a lot veg left we will be having bubble & squeak on Monday - not fish and chips

Same with the roast chicken planned for Wednesday- there will probably be nothing left after the dinner or maybe enough for a sandwich for work for someone.

Hi all - normally lurk but going to have a go this week as need to have a use up month and need to get my massive food bill down.
Have looked in the freezer and sorted out main ingredient but haven't planned meals from it yet as will depend on what we are doing as kids off school

Sunday L out for buffet D - kids french bread pizza using left over bread and ham from lunch!! MSE meal :rotfl:

Monday - Chicken - turned out to be "chicken tonight" as OH sprung a day off on us! sauce from last time on BOGOF with pots and veg

Tuesday - mince - how far can you stretch 1lb mince?? mince in slow cooker with 1 tin chopped toms, 1 1/2 tins sweetcorn, half bag carrots (bout 200g) 1 large grated parsnip 1/4 grated swede (hidden as some kids wont eat swede and parsnip!) 1 tin baked beans 1 lg onion chopped 1 tin each cond veg and tomato soup. Slow cooker half full so should be plenty for freezer - serve with pasta
Wed - pork steaks, pots and veg
Thurs - Burgers (RTC) and chips
Fri - bacon hotpot - use up LO veg
Sat HM pizza?
sun - chicken prob roast and trimmings

This is for 3 adults and 2 kids - separate meals for vege DD but normal based on our menu

Hopefully only need a small shop as have a fairly full store cupboard but empty fridge - kids home so need to bake for snacks and some activities planned so packed lunches needed

Stressed x

kids have had a baking day so low spend day - most stuff in cupboard and plenty for the munchie tin - made buns and crispy cakes!!

Hi all,

Long time lurker on this thread and we always meal plan but I thought I might get some more ideas by posting regularly so here goes please be gentle

Neither of us (OH and I) are veggie but we eat alot of vegetarian meals and only small amounts of good quality ethical meat and fish.We cook most things from scratch, breakfast is porridge or wholemeal toast and HM jam/marmalade, lunch is HM soup.

M: Prawn chow mein with raw carrot and courgette salad with peanut dressing

T: Veggie sausage casserole with cabbage, carrots, sweet potato mash and broccoli

W: Chicken chasseur with brown rice and broccoli

T: Oven baked hake with potato wedges and mushy peas

F: Veggie bean chilli and brown rice with salad

S: Probably a chickpea curry or lentil dal with rice

S: Roast vegetable lasagne with salad

This weeks 2 soups are spicy lentil or indian chickpea and vegetable
