mealplans wb 14th jan

Options
I wasn't sure if the weekly thread was still going, or if we have to use the long one, but I couldn't see one for next week, so I thought I'd get it started in case people do still want the short weekly one :)

Mine actually starts on the Sunday, as the roast is the source of the weeks meals. Monday & thursday are fasting days, so 500 cals (I tend to just not eat during the day, maybe a sub-100cal snack)

Su 13 roast pork carrots swede and cabbage and spuds
Mo 14th pork noodle soup, sugar snap peas, scallions, chilli, garlic, bean sprouts
Tu 15th Pork & mushroom stroganoff with mixed rice
We 16th pepper & squash tagine with rice
Th 17th salmon & veg
Fr 18th Italian beef
Sa 19th omelette arnold bennett or smoked haddock and leek chowder
Su 20th Hugh's lamb, cauli cheese, veg

    I definitely prefer the shorter weekly thread, so thanks for starting one, hotcookie. :T

    My meal plan for last week got abandoned quite quickly as the tail end of a nasty cold left me without much energy or appetite, and several meals were replaced with sandwiches or cereal. I'm feeling much better now, so hopefully I'll stick to the following:

    Saturday - lamb and spinach curry (from the HB diet book - this week's new recipe)
    Sunday - jambalaya
    Monday - pasta with tomato and chorizo sauce
    Tuesday - pork and lentil stew (from the freezer)
    Wednesday - squash, bean and chorizo stew
    Thursday - steak and veg Thai curry (from the freezer) with rice noodles
    Back after a very long break!
