I am on my own in the evenings Sunday to Thursday (Mr Zaxdog is a chef) so I try to plan otherwise I'd just have toast or snack on rubbish!
Sunday: Chicken & asparagus spicy rice
Monday: Herring & steamed veggies
Tuesday: Chicken & sweetcorn spicy rice
Wednesday: Quorn spag bol & spaghetti
Thursday: Sausage & lentil casserole
Leftovers will be lunches for the next day and if I've been a pig and eaten everything I'll do a quick slow cooker soup with split peas/lentils and random veg.
AND I pass an Aldi on my walk home so I see a lot of 59p asparagus in the next few weeks0 -

M: Chicken Fajitas
T: Cottage Pie (one topped with mash, one topped with mash lentils)
W: Pizza and Chips
T: Chicken Curry (one with Rice, one with grated carrot)
