Meal Plans W/B 18th March

Nottoobadyet

Have been very poor about eating in this month, wallet and waist both really feeling it! Made a big vat of extremely yummy chili con carne on the weekend so heavy on that this week.

This week was / is:

Sunday - Chili Con Carne on Spaghetti, very MSE as used leftover burgers which were languishing in the fridge from a BBQ several weeks ago
Monday -Rice Pilaf
Tuesday - Leftover chili on spaghetti
Wednesday - Shakshuka with rolls from freezer (friend coming for dinner)

Does anyone have a recipe for quiche crust that uses margarine? Butter is outrageously expensive where I live, but the marg that we has turns all sort of strange when chilled, would love guidance!

For us this week we have:

Monday - Chicken curry, rice and nann - sauce from a jar.
Tuesday - Chicken, veg and phyllie pie
Wednesday - LO lasagne made weeks ago from the freezer, garlic bread and salad.
Thursday - Fish Fingers, chips and beans
Friday -
Saturday -
Sunday - Roast lamb with, salad and lighter bits as inlaws coming for dinner (said i'd cook rather than exspensive dinner out for their birthdays both the following week.

Ive left Friday and Saturday blank as we are both off work this weekend so a little wishful thinking that he might treat me for a dinner out, but stuff in the freezer if he doesnt.

Hiya

The recipe is from the slow cooker recipe thread on here - here's a copy/paste of it


Caribbean Chicken

3 tbsp veg oil
2 large onions, chopped
4 sticks celery, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
500g mushrooms, sliced
2 red peppers, sliced
8 chicken joints, skinned
400g can sliced peaches
400g can pineapple chunks
10 tbsp cornflour
3 tsp paprika
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp worcestershire sauce
8 tbsp malt/wine vinegar
1 litre boiling water
salt & pepper

Fry onions, celery, carrot, mushroom and pepper in a pan.

Add chicken joints and fry until browned all over.

Drain peaches and pineapple, reserving juice, and add to pan.

To make sauce blend cornflour and paprika with soy sauce, worcestershire sauce,vinegar and reserved juice, add seasoning, boiling water and pour into pan.

Bring sauce to boil, stirring continuously.

Transfer all ingredients to slow-cooker, cover and cook 5-7 hours.


Forgot to add that these are the quantities to fill the large 6.5litre cookerso use half quantities obviously if you've got a smaller cooker or want to cookless

Cheers Lucy

Haven't posted on this thread for ages but I usually do a monthly meal plan but have recently started to get a veg box each week so have had to rejig my plans for the last couple of weeks and again for this week to use all the different veg, so will be doing weekly again.

This week's meals are:

Mon - Chicken stirfry (uses some of the Pak Choi in box)
Tues - Egg, chips, beans, mushrooms (uses some of the mushrooms)
Wed - Pasata, sardines, broccoli & fennel (uses some of the fennel)
Thurs - Beef stew and dumplings (uses mushrooms, fennel & pepper)
Fri - Shepherd's Pie & veg (uses last of mushrooms, pepper & pak choi)
Sat - Celeriac & smoked salmon gratin (uses half celeriac, other half for soup)
Sun - Roast pork dinner (use any veg left from box, if any, plus some frozen veg)

New veg box arrives Monday so will sort out next week's menus over the weekend once I've checked what will be coming then.

This week we are having:

Monday - Quick dinner night so had pizza, chips and salad
Tuesday - Tuna pasta bake
Wednesday - Beef kofta curry - trying a new recipe from Jamie's 15 Minute Meals
Thursday - SC sausage casserole, mash and veg
Friday - Chicken stirfry
Saturday - Lamb medallions, dauphinoise potatoes and veg
Sunday - Mini roast - roast chicken breasts, roast potatoes, veg and gravy.

Need to get out of the rut of having the same meals each week, sometimes feels like and endless rotation of currys, spag bol, pasta bakes and meat/pots/veg!

Last night's dinner changed to jacket potatoes with beans & cheese 'cos I was later getting home that expected and I can do jacket potatoes quicker than HM oven chips!

Means I still got mushrooms to use up.
