    Thanks for starting the thread. This is my plan:

    Fri 27th - Chicken Tikka; Beef Rogan; Saag Aloo with hg spinach; Lentil Dahl; Black-eyed beans & Mushrooms; hg Salad leaves; Rice (to feed 7 tonight with some left over for DS & DDIL tomorrow)
    Sat 28th – hm Fish Pie from the freezer for 2
    Sun 29th - Roast beef, Yorkshire pud & all the trimmings - for 11
    Mon 30th Bank Holiday - away visiting - Indian take-away for 4
    Tues 31st - coming home might eat on the way or ...
    Wed 1st June - Moussaka for at least 7
    Thu 2nd - freezer forage for 2
    Fri 3rd - freezer forage for 2
    Sat 4th - gammon and cabbage for 8
    Sun 5th - roast lamb for 8

    DH and I normally eat with DD1 and her family (DH & 3 DGC) on Sat, Sun, Tues & Fri.
    But this is half term so that will probably change.
    Also, DS, DDIL & 2DGC are visiting from Sat. DD1 & family like to see them as much as possible, so we will all eat together on Sun.
    DD2 will come home on Tues so we might all eat together Tues evening - not sure yet.

    For me this week:

    Friday - [STRIKE]sausages with roast veg[/STRIKE] sausage sarnie, as I couldn't be bothered to cook :o
    Saturday - lamb kleftiko with lemon roast potatoes [new recipe]
    Sunday -[STRIKE]lamb and veg fajitas[/STRIKE] veg and bean fajitas - I haven't got as much lamb as I thought I had so the fajitas will have to be meat-free
    Monday - [STRIKE] baked feta with HM bread [new recipe][/STRIKE] aubergine parmigiana - I got some free aubos as they're past their best, but they won't last more than a day or two
    Tues to Thurs -
    chicken pad thai (I managed to find that chicken breast that I knew was in the freezer somewhere ;))
    [STRIKE]veg curry with brown rice[/STRIKE] baked feta with HM bread [new recipe]
    chilli burritos with salad

    On the plus side, it cuts down on the red meat a bit, which has got to be a good thing. ;)
    Back after a very long break!

    Here goes with my mealplans for the week:

    Sunday : Roast Lamb, Roast Potatoes, Carrots
    Monday : Spanish Omelette
    Tuesday: Open Meatball Sandwiches with Salad
    Wednesday : Not sure
    Thursday : Sweet & Sour Chicken with Noodles
    Friday : HM Pizzas
    Saturday: Enchiladas

    There are sandwiches for lunches and homemade flapjacks/breakfast bars for snacking on. Trying to avoid that though, so there's fruit and carrot sticks for the healthy option. Have a good week, everyone.
