    Thanks for starting the thread, CH27

    I didn't follow my meal plan much last week for various reasons - unexpected guests, being an unexpected guest, dog ill, so there will be some repetition from last week but also because I am changing slightly the way I do meal planning.

    I'm finding now we're in supposed summer I'm not really often feeling like the thick substantial soups which were my lunch mainstay through the winter so I'm going to try planning 2 meals a day, 1 a lighter more snack-like type.

    Breakfast as always will usually be oats or value muesli soaked in milk and with fruit (at the moment usually rhubarb or the last of my frozen blackberries).

    Dinners & Lunches:
    Sat: onion, tomato, bacon quiche with green salad
    salmon w.yogurt crust, new potatoes, peas

    Sun: celery filled w.philly & hummous, b n b
    chicken marengo

    Mon: (f) mortadella & salad sandwich
    marinaded (f)steak, new potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, salad

    Tue: (f)prawn salad
    smoked (f)salmon & (f)broccoli quiche with green salad

    Wed: grilled (f)pork steak, saute potatoes, beetroot & apple, cabbage
    sardines on toast

    Thu: nut roast, salad
    F.ChocClare's Chinese Chicken

    Fri: liver & bacon casserole, mash, cabbage,
    f.fish pie, beetroot with apple, broccoli

    Thanks for starting us off, CH27 - I was also wondering if the thread was running and I'd missed it, but I guess it just hadn't started. ;)

    Me for this week:

    Friday - roast beef with mixed salad a garlic flatbread (RTC joint of beef :money:)
    Saturday - cold roast beef sandwich with onion rings and salad :drool:
    Sunday - roast veg, feta and pesto lasagne
    Monday - prawns and veg in sweet chilli sauce with noodles
    Tuesday - tuna pesto pasta bake

    Wednesday - paneer curry with garlic flatbread (ready made curry :eek: - it's from Approved Foods if that makes things better ;))
    Thursday - bacon and mushroom supreme with rice

    Breakfasts will be cereal with fruit; lunches will be cold roast beef sarnies until the beef runs out, then cheese salad sarnies. :)
    Back after a very long break!
