Mealplan WB 17th March

joedenise

Thanks JG for starting the thread again:

Sun - roast pork, roasted veg, roast pots, peas, spinach, gravy
Mon - LO roast pork, boiled pots, salad (DH may have baked beans rather than salad)
Tues - chicken liver & lentil bolognaise (a Jack Monroe recipe) - not tried before so hoping will be OK
Wed - Chicken tagine/Rice (a James Martin recipe) - another new one
Thurs - Mixed bean Goulash (another Jack Monroe recipe) - this is a regular one these days as we love it
Fri - Fish, chips & peas - now changed to salmon & chilli parmasan polenta (see below)
Sat - LO chicken tagine

The only thing I'll need to buy when I go shopping on Thursday is some fish for Friday - I'll see what looks nicest and at a good price!

Think we are likely to be going away in our motorhome at the weekend so fish and chips isn't possible (I don't like chippie chips they're too soggy!). Have decided to do Salmon with chilli & parmasan polenta as I have salmon in the freezer already so that will also reduce the weekly spend, which is no bad thing!

Spicy chorizo mince wraps- I'll make the wraps today and the mince mixture ready to heat up during the week.
BBQ chicken wings with grattan- I have wings in the freezer I can marinade and I have 2x ys grattans in the freezer also.
Toad in the hole- I have the sausages in and plenty of potatoes, the veg can come from the freezer as well, I have 3 veg mash and sprouts and carrots/peas in there.
Chicken dinner- I have 1 full chicken left, I'll make some yorkshire puddings and stuffing to go with it and veg from the freezer and mash.
LO chicken curry with turmeric rice- I have everything in for that.

We have plenty of oats and dried fruit in for breakfast and I am just about to make a couple of loafs for the week for sandwiches and toast.

I'll also make a quiche for lunch today and some cheese and onion pasties for during the week. We have some chicken soup in the freezer for lunches as well and I'll make up some egg mayo and cheese savoury for a couple of sandwich days.

Snacks we have a load of crisps and I'll make some twinks and some cheese biscuits today. We have plenty of dried fruit in and I'll make some HM yoghurt today as well.

I best get cracking, well after this coffee anyway :rotfl:

We didn't end up having anything off the list last night as I'm not feeling good and there was enough lo hm ready meals for everyone to choose 1 and just heat up in the microwave.

So it ended up being a free dinner really :A

T - out at gig - Veg soup for lunch and picnic of roast beef salad sandwiches for tea

On the plus side, I haven't spent anything unplanned, just swapped things out the freezer. Meal out on Tues was planned and meal on Sunday was paid for by parents

Please could you tell me how you make your beef and butternut squash curry , sounds yummy

have to admit to using a jar of Asd@ chosen by you cooking sauce - this week we are having Rogan Josh for a change for a sweeter flavour rather that heat.... with beef chopped/cubed, onion, yellow pepper & chop/cubed butternut squash all chucked in casserole dish and bunged in oven.... no cooking skills here
