Love reading everyone else's meals, think I'm just nosy :rotfl:

Breakfasts - cereal and milk

Lunches - making a pot of carrot & lentil soup and a loaf of HM bread for me. OH will have tuna and ham for sandwiches, plus he requested a pot noodle in this week's shop for one day *eye roll*

Dinners

Tomorrow - chicken and sweetcorn pie with leftover roast chicken from last weekend (out of the freezer) with potatoes and carrots and braised red cabbage.

I'm flexible about when we have the other meals as I also never stick to the days:

Nigerian red kidney bean stew from my Madhur Jaffrey "World Vegetarian" with rice

Leftover sausage pasta sauce from the freezer with spaghetti and salad

Spicy roasted veg with couscous, pistachios and Greek yoghurt sauce

Salmon, salad and new potatoes (OH will have arrabiata pasta - sauce in the freezer - with some chorizo as he doesn't like fish)

Cheese and onion quiche at the weekend with salad

One night left free for leftovers, or in case we end up going out, or else I can do a stir fry or vegetable stew type idea.

Have a couple of cooking apples so may make crumble one night for pud. If I've got time tomorrow I'll make some scones or something as a snack for OH though we do still have a bunch of twinks hobnobs from last week (even a half batch is just too many for us and I think OH is a bit sick of them now lol and I don't eat much sweet stuff but I'll take them into work to feed the gannets there on Monday :rotfl:).

PhGage

Breakfasts, depending on weather: porridge; poached pears with yoghurt and toasted oats; scone and freezer strawberry jam (more like a chunky fruit in its own syrup than jam).

Lunch, depending on weather: HM caramelised carrot soup; HM pea soup (trying out MSEr Stephen Leak's recipe); HM crackers with HM olive spread.

Dinners (may be swapped if there are commuting problems):

Sunday: charred aubergine and tomato; mushrooms, peas and mint; dhal; rice, bread and pickles.

Monday: poached smoked haddock; spinach; stuffed mushrooms; boiled potato. (Extras of haddock and potato to mix together for fish fingers or patties later in the week. Probably make them up tonight and freeze them.)

Tuesday: stuffed peppers; HM tomato sauce; HM farinata (we tend to make a small amount of batter and cook it like drop scones).

Wednesday: tinned pilchards/mackerel in HM tomato sauce; pasta or more farinata; olives and peas.

Thursday: HM fish fingers (from Monday); HM baps with HM pickles and some salad.

Friday: HM pork and beans with HM coleslaw.

Saturday: HM chickpea and potato curry; HM cashew nut curry; HM spinach curry; rice, bread and HM pickles.

(I'm finding that declaring the meal plans is helping me to keep approximately on track with them. Thank you everyone.)

Had to change my mealplan as I realised we were having pasta 2 days in a row. It doesn't matter to me, but I think Mr KB would mind so I'm giving it a change-up. I'm only using a packet of sauce I found in the cupboard, but rather use it up than throw it out!
