Boodle

I hope no-one minds if I start the thread this week, as I have just finished our plan for the week. Sorry if someone has already started one and I just can't see for looking

We have planned:

Saturday
B: HM 3 seed and nut cereal with organic yoghurt, pear and raisins, with jasmine green tea.
L: Out
Rosemary and mushroom lasagne with garlic flatbread

Sunday
B: HM sweet breakfast rolls with coffee
L: Sage and onion sausage pie with sprouts,sweetcorn, steamed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce
T: Selection of sandwiches (Marmite and strawberry jam - not together ) and tea loaf

Monday
B: Branflakes with sunflower seeds, flaked almonds and raisins
L: Sage and onion sausage pie with a wintery salad
Tuna and sweetcorn pasta bake

Tuesday
B: HM 3 seed and nut cereal with organic yoghurt, pear and raisins,with jasmine green tea.
L: Selection of sandwiches (Wensleydale and strawberry jam - again, not together ), crisps, carrot batons, apple, and tea loaf.
Pizza and wedges

Wednesday
B: Branflakes with sunflower seeds,flaked almonds and raisins
L: Smoked salmon pate with toast. A wintery salad on the side.
Aloo gobi with mixed vegetable pilau

Thursday
B: Toast with marmite, or marmalade, or strawberry jam
L: Vegetable soup (from the freezer having made too much this week )
Spinach and ricotta tortellini and salad

Friday
B: Branflakes with sunflower seeds, flaked almonds and raisins
L: Organic cheddar and onion toasties (organic wensleydale crumbled small and beaten with butter to spread in DD's instead of cheddar as she "doesn't like cheese" :cool:)
Battered fish, mushy peas and HM oven chips

For snacks/afters we can have fresh or dried fruit, carrot, cheese, crackers, organic yoghurt, semolina or anything we might well bake together during the week (usually fruit scones or rock buns - nicest version to date being dried apricot and cardamom )

Can't wait to see what you are all having. Hope you all have a great week x

New meal plan thread = nearly the end of the week! :j:D

I've been unusually organised and done a plan for the next two weeks - here's week one:

Friday - HM pancetta and garlic mushroom pizza
Saturday - champys' Indonesian beef with coconut veg
Sunday - squash and pancetta risotto
Monday - thai green curried rice noodles with prawns and tofu
Tuesday - satay tofu in wraps with salad
Wednesday - chilli con carne burritos
Thursday - tuna melt jacket potato(es) (depends how big they are)

I'll also be making spicy carrot soup for lunches next week, and carrot cake for nibbly moments, in a desperate attempt to reduce my carrot mountain. :rolleyes:

Saturday - http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/556352 - but going to use bacon and Boursin cheese instead

Sunday – http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1197/rigatoni-sausage-bake

Monday – [STRIKE]scrambled egg on toast or something similar[/STRIKE] had crisps at the cinema

Tuesday – leftovers from Sunday

Wednesday – fish pie

Thursday – [STRIKE]chicken/pork stir fry with rice/noodles [/STRIKE] boiled eggs and soldiers

Friday – toad in the hole

Saturday – paprika chicken with couscous

Sunday – pizza


Not sure what vegetables will be served with what as need to go shopping, so will see what’s on offer.

Had to change it already! Sunday and Monday swapped as i'm now going to the cinema on Monday. Might nip home first and have dinner or not bother.

System

It's half-term, so most of us are home for lunch each day at the moment. Our winter weekday lunches follow a basic format: homemade soup (as indicated below) with homemade bread and optional extras or leftovers from the night before, according to taste and appetite. Evening meals will have additional vegetables, according to availability and what I feel like cooking. We never have "Sunday lunch", but we are this week, just for a change!

Saturday lunch: Chicken liver pât!, barley broth
Saturday evening: Tuna, celery and sweetcorn casserole, rice

Sunday lunch: Roast chicken, stuffing, carrots, cabbage, roast potatoes, gravy
Sunday evening: Sandwiches, some sort of plainish cake

Monday lunch: Chicken noodle soup
Monday evening: Fennel and red lentil gratin

Tuesday lunch: Celeriac soup
Tuesday evening: Pasta bolognese (made with pork mince)

Wednesday lunch: Miso soup
Wednesday evening: Green lentils with anchovy and egg (Pauper's Cookbook)

Thursday lunch: Carrot and coriander soup
Thursday evening: Veggie chilli, rice

Friday lunch: End-of-the-veg-in-the-fridge soup
Friday evening: Gingered salmon with vegetable-and-noodle stir-fry

champys

DH away again next week - here's my plan, which will avoid living on bread and cheese, or things on toast..... it is very basic, though. Salads will be added.

Monday - cantonese rice
Tuesday - Chicons (chicory rolled in ham & cheese) on mustard mash
Wednesday - spaghetti with olive oil, chilli and garlic
Thursday - bigos (from freezer)
Friday - hard boiled eggs and peas in curried bechamel sauce (on brown rice)
Saturday - chicken in cider/apple/cream sauce
Sunday - Indonesian peanut soup.

Enjoy the week!

All went pretty well last week-although thursday night ended up with dominos after a very scary emergency experience on my part, OH thought I deserved that as opposed to mac cheese, so tonight we are having the brocolli/cauli macaroni cheese..... Tomorrow night OH is making something very comfort foody, not sure what....


Su-Roast chicken, potatoes &parsnips, with steamed kale (will make stock which will make broth for my lunches for the week)
Mo-Chicken and leek pie, mash and kale
Tu-pak choi and chicken stir fry, rice or noodles
We-roasted butternut squash risotto
th-lamb and potato curry with rice and naan
Fr-sausages, sauteed sprouts and pancetta, mashed swede
Sa-Roast dinner (hopefully-friends coming round, big joint of beef, shoulder of lamb or belly pork-whatever looks good at the butchers)

Chickens are all free range (usually organic, but sometimes butcher only has FR and would prefer to buy FR from him, than organic from supermarket) Pork is outdoor bred at the very least but usually FR or organic (usually butcher) veg is organic from box scheme, except spuds (which are roosters, as they are the best-yummy yummy, although kestral from waitrose not bad either )
