Hello!
My weekly meals plan is
Monday- mash, frozen veg, cumberland sausage
Tuesday-chicken stir fry
Wednesday- cottage pie
Thursday- tortilla wraps
Friday- fish and chips
I don't know yet about a weekend. People will be coming, so maybe salad tea.0 -
I only cook Monday to Friday (OH does Saturday and Sunday, he enjoys cooking, I don't but as we both work full time and I work from home, it only seems fair that I do the majority).
Mon- minted lamb chops, veg and boiled tatties.
Tues, paprika chicken, chips and veg
Wed - bacon, mushroom and potatoes (it's a one pot dish by Nigel Slater, but I can't find the recipe online, it's in Real fast food)
Thurs - sausage plait and beans
Fri - chicken teriyaki, rice and mangetoutGood enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j
If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!0 -
Some of these are meals we've already had! The level of detail varies, but the protein sources are pre-planned.
Saturday: butter chicken (using spice mix), spiced courgette (from garden) & cauliflower, basmati rice & leftover naan [leftovers used Sunday lunch]
Sunday: hm yorkies with sliced roast beef (I bought it cooked but in the piece) & gravy, veggies from freezer
Monday: hotpot made with the rest of the beef, carrots & green beans
Tuesday: macaroni cheese with ham & tomatoes [ham leftover from christmas!]
Wednesday: pasties (using bread not pastry) filled with sausage, baked beans & cheese
Thursday: something with either fish (barramundi) or minced pork
Friday: fish pie using smoked trout, rice, egg & cabbage with soured cream
The beef sounds extravagent but it wasn't - I paid $10 for a 500g piece, and we'll get two meals out of it. It's still hot here, and so there are days when I don't want to have the oven on more than necessary.0 -
My second week posting. Week 1 went well, only deviated once as forgot DH and I had a cinema trip planned on Wednesday.
Mon - Miso salmon (this is what got bumped last week due to cinema trip so salmon was still in freezer, now marinating in the fridge).
Tues - Venison meatballs (DH brought them home as he spotted them in Aldi and fancied trying them) with HM tomato sauce (from freezer) and pasta.
Weds - Quorn keema and peas (from freezer, made double a few weeks ago), naan.
Thurs - Chicken risotto (with LO chicken from yesterday's roast, and stock I made from boiling up the carcass - felt very domesticated!)
Fri - HM pizza
Sat - Haddock & broccoli gratin (fish in freezer), new pots
Sun - Friends coming round, will make slow cooked beef in red wine on Fri or Sat, and serve with mash and green veg. Lemon self saucing pud for pudding.0 -
I'm going off plan slightly, I have some natural yoghurt to use up so the BBQ chicken will now be chicken tikka.£36/£240

Have finally sorted out my menu plan for this week. My week started on Sunday:
Sun - Roast duck leg, roast potatoes, roasted veg & brocolli.
Mon - Pea, prawn & mint risotto
Tues - Pork curry using up leftovers from Saturday (we went out for a meal and had pork hock and they were huge so we asked for a doggy bag! There was about 500g of pork left on the 2 hocks and we both ate a huge amount on Sat) served with rice
Wed - Beef bourgignon (currently cooking in SC), new pots & green veg of some sort probably brocolli
Thurs - LO pork curry & rice; may make some onion or mushroom bharjis to go with it
Fri - LO beef bourgignon, mash & veg
Sat - HM fish & chips with peas. May also make some tartare sauce
