Morning, JulieGeorgiana, thanks for starting this week's mealplan thread.
Here's mine for the week:
Saturday - Cheese & Bacon Quiche with Salad
Sunday - Possibly a barbecue, weather dependant
Monday - Roast Pork, Roast Potatoes & Trimmings
Tuesday - Lasagne
Wednesday - Not sure, possibly a stir fry
Thursday - Toad in the Hole
Friday - Meaty Pasta
Not doing any baking as we've stuff to eat up from Easter yet and we're both trying to lose a few pounds for summer. Breakfasts will be cereals (and I'll be trying to eat breakfast from now on!) and there's plenty of fruit to snack on. The one exception to the baking rule will possibly be a banana loaf cake to use up some of the blackening nanaridge in the fruit bowl. Have a good week, everyone.

Yes, thanks for starting the thread.
I didn't post last week because I was effectively using the previous week's plan which had been derailed by a visit from my son and grandchildren.
This week might need a bit of reworking depending on what the weather decides to do.
Breakfasts: mainly value muesli or oats soaked in apple juice
Lunches: leftovers, soup from freezer, salads
Vegetables: lots of leeks and the last of my purple sprouting broccoli before it all goes to seed and parsnips before they dry out plus hg beetroot, peas, and runnerbeans from freezer plus bought carrots, cabbage and celery plus salad veggies.
Puddings & Treats: banana cake, eve's pudding, fresh fruit
Dinners:
Sat: poached salmon, creamed potatoes
Sun: Roast chicken, stuffing, roast potato
Mon: courgette and tomato dahl, rice
Tue: liver & onions & bacon in gravy. mash
Wed: king prawns with seafood sauce (Iceland special), green salad
Thu: grilled steak, saute potatoes
Fri: cheese & potato pie, lots of veggies0 -
This week we are having....
Thyme Chicken with leeks and what ever other veg I have.
Chicken, cheese, ham and brocolli pie and veg
Beef and root veg. curry

Monday – cheese and tomato omelette with potato wedges and salad
Tuesday – sesame noodle salmon wrap
Wednesday – pork steak with potato bake (cheese something or other – it’s a Homepride jar) and green beans
Thursday - going out with my old work colleagues
Friday – I’m having 2 teeth out in preparation for braces, so I won’t plan for the rest of the week as suspect I won’t be able to eat many solids!
Saturday – as before

Right, change of plan
:
Friday - sausage, bean and mushroom pasty with salad
Saturday - chicken parmigiana with griddled courgettes and pasta
Sunday - Moroccan meatball stew with courgettes and LF garlic bread
Monday - cheese and olive salad with HM olive swirl rolls
Tuesday to Thursday:
courgette and basil pasta bake (are you starting to see a courgette-y theme here? I've got a veg drawer full of the things!)
chicken and polenta bake with veggies (yep, including courgettes
)
harissa-marinated halloumi and veg kebabs (including... I think you get the idea! :rotfl:) with wholemeal pitta bread
The change of plan is partly due to the fact I can't find seafood mix anywhere in Portsmouth (no seafood in a seaside town?! :eek:), and partly due to a visit to a farmer's market today so I now have loads of nice cheese.
Back after a very long break!0 -
Tonight: I've made salads and coronation chicken.
Tomorrow: we're having a big spinach and bacon salad.
Sunday: I think I'll make tomato soup or tomato sauce for pasta0 -
Hi, just had a look but can't seem to find anything. Is there a thread or anything with help on how to do a meal plan? I just starting Slimming World and would really like to plan my meals in advance. I'm really indecisive and I'm struggling a bit though!
