PenguinOfDeath

Thought I'd added to this yesterday! We have a fair bit of food in atm but desperately trying not to do any top up shops this week as it's gonna be an expensive month or two!

Sun - Chicken, chorizo and cider pot with mash (might have included this on a prev week but I overlooked the fact we didn't have a chicken...)
Mon - Beef & cashew stir fry with noodles
Tues - Hot smoked salmon and courgette pasta
Weds - HM 'pizza' pita breads and wedges
Thurs - Sweet & sour pork with rice
Fri - HM pork schnitzel in a bun
Sat - out for tea
Sun - New tactic of trying a new 'slow cook / labour intensive' recipe each Sunday now the nights are drawing in - actual meal undecided as yet

Hi I’m new here so hope you don’t mind me joining in. I havebeen meal planning since I had my first child 7 years ago, at first to helpkeep grocery costs down when I was on mat leave….

But I still do it now and usually do a two week plan at atime, using every single last bit of food and leftovers I can.
Here is my plan for the next week.
Mon – Leftover Mushroom Stroganoff (went mushroom foragingon Sunday and made a huge vat of it!)
Tues – Quick Chilli and Rice (adapted from a recipe inNigella Express)
Wednesday – Leftover Chilli Cheese Pasta Bake with Broccoli
Thursday – Chicken Kievs, Sweet Potato Mash and Peas
Friday- HomemadePizza (I let DD and DS do their own toppings – and I make DH and me one toshare with salad)
Saturday – Spaghetti Carbonara
Sunday – Roast Chicken with all the trimmings (leftoverchicken will go into wraps for next weeks lunchboxes)
Baking wise - bananacake with cream cheese frosting (made it yesterday), Madeira Cake (in the oven)and a Blackberry and Apple Crumble using up the last of the blackberries Ipicked.
Hoping to get lots of inspiration here!

My plan for this week goes as follows (DD1 will generally eat the same as me, though DD2 is much more fussy so normally have to do something else for her):

Moroccan or Harissa chick pea stew with spinach or green beans and Moroccan giant couscous

Mackerel pasta with sweetcorn (and whatever else i can find that will go with it)

Vegetable crumble (also DD1 is making pizza tartlets in FoodTech so her and Dd2 will probably have those for tea)

Beans on toast/(Quorn)Croque Monsieur

Quorn HM Lasagne with corn on the cob

Quorn Coq au vin with sweet potato (DDs won't eat this)

Will come back to this later in week when i have thought of one more meal, as only have 6/7 there!

Had a different meal tonight. Like Ariabatta but lentil and carrot soup added as a base, and then tomatoes, spices, herbs etc and mince put through as had no meatballs. At least i now have a batch of sauce to make the lasagne with.

Hi there It is a cheat version. Instead of making my own dough, I lightly toast pitta to puff them up so I can open them along one side then insert the filling. Microwaved for about 20 sec per pitta heats the filling. Lovely!

Ah right thank you. I thought it was some sort of version with pizza dought i was unaware of. I have tried pitta pizzas before but not keen. It's good you find them nice though.
