    Hi there - nearly missed the thread, had my brothers to stay since Friday. The meal plan is looking like this:

    today: hm chinese chicken soup, keema curry with rice and cucumber salad
    Monday: pasta with salmon, broccoli and hollandaise sauce
    Tuesday/Wednesday: I'm away, DH to dig into the freezer for all those delicious leftovers.....
    Thur: galette au chou as picked up from this thread last week.
    Fri: veal ragout (from our stash of organic veal) with mixed roast root veg.
    Sat: could be a barbecue if weather forecast turns out to be correct
    Sun: Moosewood mexican pepper casserole with brown rice

    Clutterydrawer - I love the sound of stuffed peppers with fennel, tomato and lentils - how do you make that?

    I'm also making a mental note of quesadilla's with brie and spinach as ginandtonic1988 mentions.... that could be improvised.

    Enjoy the week!

    Tuesday - Curry using local companies curry sauces from market (called taste asia - from southampton)
    Wednesday - More curry from above!
    And from Thurs I have to feed only myself so....
    Thursday - Asda fish pie ready meal - my gf has had it in her freezer for ages so I shall eat it!
    Friday - Waitrose reduced curry ready meal - add rice
    Saturday - Chicken and chips
    Sunday - Pizza

    Next week should be healthier, just trying to clear out the freezer!

    Good luck everyone!

    Tues: Chicken Kievs (was on special in Tescos last week)
    Wed: Pork Mince Lasagne
    Thurs: Spagetti Carbonara
    Fri: Chicken Stir fry (OH turn to cook)

    Since jan I have been doing menu plans and recently due to being made redundant and now taking a job in London (an hour commute each way) means this is more important than ever. Thank you for all you food suggestions was finding it difficult.
