I can't believe how quickly this week has gone! :eek:


For me next week it will be...

Monday - pasta in a tomato sauce with garlic bread

Tuesday - chicken and peppers in chilli sauce with cous cous

Wednesday - scampi with chips and peas

Thursday - chickpea, spinach and tomatoes with rice

Friday - sausage and bean stew

Saturday - [STRIKE]TBC[/STRIKE] made tuna fishcakes and had them with peas and chilli mayonnaise

Sunday - going out for lunch - had a delicious open chicken pie with leeks and bacon, peas and chips. Mmm!

My grandma is visiting next weekend [STRIKE]and I know my dad is planning a BBQ, but I don't know which day, [/STRIKE]so Saturday [STRIKE]and Sunday[/STRIKE] will need confirming nearer the time. BBQ cancelled, we're going out for lunch on Sunday instead. Still not sure what i'll do on Saturday.

    Hi everyone,

    I couldn't find a thread for this week yet but please merge me if I'm wrong :D

    The plan here is:

    Mo: Spinach and ricotta gnocchi with ham and mushrooms (economy gastronomy recipe-dumplings in freezer)
    Tu: OH cook something, or slow cooked beef ragu with pappardelle, salad and garlic bread
    We: herb crusted fish, with new potatoes, broccoli and carrots
    Th: Chilli with rice
    Fr:southern baked chicken, corn on the cob, coleslaw and chips
    Sa: OH is working, so probably chickpea stew for me, he will have freezer ready meals (home made)
    Su: again OH working, I will make a coq au vin for freezer, omelette for dinner and he will have freezer ready meals

    Looking forward to hearing everyones ideas for the week :)

    Scary, isn't it? How can it possibly be the end of another week already? :eek:

    My plan for this week is nearly all stuff from the freezer, which might work out well as things are a bit up in the air at the moment and I don't know when / if I'll be at home. If I am, I'll have meals all planned, though, which I guess is the point.

    I've got:

    Friday - probably out, if not it'll be a sarnie of some kind (possibly sausages :))
    Saturday - roast veg, feta and pesto lasagne
    Sunday - spicy bean wraps
    Monday - beef and veg curry and rice
    Tuesday - prawns and courgette in sweet chilli sauce with coconut rice and beans
    Wednesday - meatball and aubergine tagine with garlic flatbread
    Thursday - pasta with bacon and egg sauce


    Have a tasty week, everyone. ;)
    Back after a very long break!
