Good idea to bring this back
I meal plan but sometimes go a bit off track
Just finished my plan for tonight's shop
This week's plan:
"Meatball" (Quorn) stroganoff on whatever pasta I can find in the cupboard served with broccoli and peas.
Chicken (soya for me, real for OH) with mashed potatoes and vegetables (probably broccoli, runner beans, peas & sweetcorn).
Out for lunch with mine & OH's parents on Wednesday so dinner will be a snack - whatever we have in.
Minted pea, feta & bacon (soya for me, real for OH) omelette with hasselback potatoes and salad.
Bacon (soya for me, real for OH) and leek risotto.
Chicken (Quorn for both) & vegetable fajita stuffed baked potatoes served with salsa and sour cream.
Pizza with homemade wedges and salad.
We don't have them in a specific order, just whatever we feel like on the day or whatever needs using up.0 -

I have gone way off track with meal planning recently and will get back on track. After a few hiccups recently - we haven't been grocery shopping in ages, but do still have some store cupboard ingredients, herbs etc.
I am planning to do a meal plan at some point this week, incorporating what we do have in our cupboards and freezer and go shopping at the weekend
I often find our meals are repetitive though and do attempt to try different things, and would love some inspiration (on a budget lol)The opposite of what you know...is also true0
