Hitting brick wall with menu planning

lynzpower

Hi all

About to order my food for delivery, but Ive just hit a brick wall with my menu planning.

To be honest, Ive done to death all the same meals and Im getting sick of the same stuff week in week out. PLus with the weather getting hot, I cant handle dense heavy food, but i dont really like salads :rolleyes:

Weve been making the follwing stuff
bangers & mash
casserole
HM burgers, wedges etc
stirfries egg rice/ noodles
pies made with left over chicken
enchiladas
chicken & chick pea curry
we try to have at least one veggie meal a week, this is fine & i have loads of ideas for this.

We have a slow cooker
Im happy to spend an hour cooking when I get home from work
We have a budget of no more than 25 pw inc cleaning & toiletries.
OH has cholestrol probs so only the leanest, best meat is used & he cant have cheese or eggs

HELP ME PLEASE!!

Stuff with rice/pasta
Fajitas
Kebabs/kofte type things
Chops with chargrilled veggies, cous cous/bulgar wheat
Pizza
Picky foods, kind of like a buffet!

What kind of things did you eat in the sumemr pre-MSE?

I always struggle to eat in the summer over the last fews years I overheated completely, and this means I just dont fancy anything. thing is I was single then, so I could get away with a bowl of cereal in the morning adn a couple of pittas & hoummous for the rest of the day, but I just cant now as OH is a growing lad lol

I call it my summer diet. Not particularly healthy, but I cant really decide what else to do.

i need to give it more thought I think, maybe one more week of the same old, and I'll look back to this thread this time next week!

Here's some summery dishes we like:
-quiche
-baked potatoes, HM coleslaw and cheese
- spanish omlette
-whole smoked makarels covered in peppercorns (serve with new pots, or salad or oven chips...)
- meatloaf
-HM pizza (use bread machine to make dough on timer whilst at work)
Just a few ideas, hope they help

I hope they find a miracle cure for his cholestrol soon, Its a nightmare catering for him!!
