Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?

Just thought this would be quicker reference than what's for dinner or searching through lots of posts?

There used to be one a while back, Meal Plan Monday or obviously whatever day you start yours on 🙂

I did post mine in the Grocery challenge, but will post again for anybody that doesn't join in with that thread.

I'm happy for a meal plan thread to be separate.  I too posted in the GC but copied to here:

Meal plan for the next week - trying to use up some of the freezer meals/components


Sat - braised liver, mash, veg (from freezer)
Sun - boiled bacon, onions, potatoes, carrots
Mon - ham and mushroom pasta bake
Tue -  butternut squash and chickpea tagine, couscous (from freezer)
Wed - cottage pie, green veg
Thurs - chana masala, rice (cooked dried chickpeas in freezer)
Fri - chicken breast roast, roast potatoes and veg, green veg (from freezer)

Do you think it might be worth having a new thread each Saturday for the following week?

Gonna try the Lebanese Gaspacho, sounds nice and more importantly different. 
That's two extra recipes 😀

The top of the leeks that would otherwise be thrown away, chopped, onion, a few carrots, half a tin of coconut milk (the other half goes in the lentil and coconut curry) and chicken stock or water and chicken or veg stock cube(s). Mine is done in my soup maker but otherwise it’s fry the onions, add the veg, boil it up, simmer until cooked and then swish it into a purée with a doodah or push through a sieve.

I think I can manage that . I always use all of the leeks.

So glad to see this thread! I'm sure there used to be a weekly meal plan thread that used to be a great source of inspiration.

We shop on Mondays so I will return with a meal plan shortly!
