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

I’ve decided to start using up stuff that has been in the freezer too long.  The first thing to come out is a small chicken, that might even be pre-pandemic.  So a definite chicken theme this coming week.

roast chicken, mange tout, carrots and spinach 
cold chicken and similar veg
Slow cooker aubergine parmigiana x2
chilli pork kidney and vegetable rice x 2
chicken curry and curried green beans (probably enough chicken curry to have a second portion the following week)

Big stock up shop at Lidl today, although I didn’t actually need much to make the week’s meals. Plan looks like this:

Sat - sausage and tomato gnocchi, sugar snap peas 
Sun - smoked salmon sandwich (out for lunch 😋)
Mon - broccoli and anchovy pasta 
Tues - beans on toast 
Wed - sweet chilli prawn and sugar snap pea noodles 
Thurs - chorizo and cannellini bean hash with poached egg

My week didn’t go to plan - ended up being away- so some meals will appear this week instead:

Fri - chorizo, spinach and cannellini bean hash with poached egg
Sat - steak with lemon and feta spinach 
Sun - chorizo, spinach and sweet potato traybake 
Mon - broccoli and anchovy pasta
Tues - beans on toast
Wed - tuna steak with bean and spinach mash
Thurs - bacon and courgette pesto pasta 

Can you tell there’s a huge bag of spinach to use up 😂

@justkeepswimmimg I never thought of adding spinach to a traybake - at least I thought of it but dismissed the thought on the grounds the spinach would dry out too much.  How does that traybake work?

It’s this recipe, @bouicca21 but I sometimes just chuck the spinach in the tray for the last few minutes 🙃

This week is looking like this so far. In not particular order and open to change:

• Sausage, pepper and mushroom stir-fried rice

• Cheesy lentil and rice bake with salad

• Buffalo wings - sides tbc

• Roast veg, sun-dried tomato and chorizo orzo

• Mince and tatties with green beans and broccoli

• HM pizza night (in front of the telly!)

• Roast pork with all the trimmings

If the weather keeps nice I have a notion to replace a meal with a charcuterie and cheese board. I'd add hb eggs, olives, pickles and salad bits to this with a bought French baguette. It's nice to have a picky dinner so this is possibly on the cards. 

No baking this week!

Have a good week menu planners.
