Weekly Meal Plans Thread ?? 20/09/16

AsherBat

Hello! I used to use MSE years ago and was really active in this group. At the time my wife and I had a weekly thread we would post on with our meal plans. I was wondering if I could start this up again if there's interest? I'll post mine first My weekend is Sunday & Monday so my plan begins Tuesday, but I think if people like it I will try to post the thread every Monday! We are vegan, but all diet types welcome!

Breakfasts:
green smoothies (bananas, mango or blueberry, lime, ginger and spinach)
Lunches:
veg couscous or salads or toasties
Dinners:
tuesday - Spiced root & lentil casserole w/ giant couscous
wednesday - Sweet potato dhal w/rice
thursday - Mushroom risotto
friday - Out at friend's 30th birthday do
saturday - Chana masala wraps w/ mum's indian salad
sunday - Tomato, pepper and chickpea tagine w/ giant couscous
monday - Chilli bean burritos

I hope the thread takes off :beer:

We don't really have puddings, sometimes I've baked and there will be that or there is always ice cream in the freezer

Do you buy the massaman sauce/paste or make it? I'[ve fancied making a veggie version for a while

I'm not doing too well this week, but determined to get back on track - OH has been cooking while I've been under the weather so lots of 'on toast' meals.

We shop on a Sunday so I want to get through this week with no purchases.

Thursday - Turkey fillet with courgette, broccoli, carrots, and baked white potato (and proper butter).

Friday - Turkey fillet with sweet potato mash, carrots, and courgette

Saturday - Faggots and gravy with sweet potato mash and mushy peas

I buy the paste and then add fish sauce, tamarind paste and some palm sugar, I should try and make it from scratch I'm sure I've got a recipe somewhere :think:

Ooo yes, I'd love to join in please ? Here are this week's meals (hopefully!). Not the best of plans, too many "chips n beans" but feeling a bit creaky this week, so it will have to do

HM Quiche, chips and beans
Spag bol
Mushroom stroganoff, kale and rosti
Kung po tofu & sugar snap peas, EFR, tofu skin spring rolls
quorn sausages, chips n beans
Smokey chilli sweet potato bean bake with cornbread
Cabbage curry, Tarka dhal, chickpea bread

AsherBat

This all looks great. Some of you obviously like washing up a lot more than me :')

How early do you guys usually plan the next week's menu? Do you ask your families to chip in with ideas?

Wednesday 21st – Slow cooker Spag Bol
Thursday 22nd – Left over spag bol (daughter having dinner at her nans)
Friday 23rd – Salmon in chilli & ginger with dirty rice
Saturday 24th – Some form of pasta before I play rugby
