It doesn't look like anyone's started next week's meal planning thread yet, so I'll kick things off if that's OK? (BGs, please correct me if I'm looking and not seeing!)
As usual, I've got a firm plan for Friday and Saturday then a choice of meals for the rest of the week: this is working really well for me and I've started sticking to my meal plans again with this method. :j
Friday - takeaway (naughty CCP, I know, but it's a long day for me and I need the promise of a treat at the end of it to keep me going
)
Saturday - beef paprikash, greens and HM bread [new recipe]
Sunday to Thursday -
creamy crab and courgette pasta (this, but with courgettes instead of peas) [new recipe]
aubergine and blue brie bake
Moroccan aubergine and meatball stew
chicken and ham supreme with rice
chicken and lentil curry with naan bread
What delicious delights is everyone else having?

Thanks for starting the thread, CCP.
Here's what chez Kitchenbunny will be dining on this week:
Friday - Chilli con carne with sauteed potatoes
Saturday - HM pizza
Sunday - possibly a takeaway
Monday - Spicy Lamb Skewers with salad
Tuesday - Enchiladas
Wednesday - Not sure
Thursday - Toad in the Hole
Friday - Beef Stroganoff
Saturday - BBQ chicken & wedges
Sunday - Roast Pork, Roasties & Trimmings
There'll be plenty of fruit for snacking on, and I'm going to make some flapjacks for a bit of extra oomph at breakfast time (I don't normally eat breakfast - bad me I know - and these will help me stop snacking mid-meal, I think). Lunches are sandwiches or leftovers. Have a good week, everyone.

Tuesday - going to the cinema, will eat out
Wednesday - maple glazed hotdogs with mustardy onions
Thursday - [STRIKE]garlic chilli chicken with rice[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]pork steak with lemon, honey and mustard apples[/STRIKE] chicken with peppers in chilli sauce with cous cous
Friday - off out with my old work colleagues!
Saturday - [STRIKE]sizzling salmon with bean mash[/STRIKE] pork steak with lemon, honey and mustard apples
Sunday - [STRIKE]cheesy bean burgers with salad (or something to be decided)[/STRIKE] going to my dad's for a BBQ
[STRIKE]
I'm going to the cinema on Tuesday or Wednesday (not yet decided) so one of those days i'll be eating out. [/STRIKE] Now confirmed - we're going on Tuesday.
