Last week's meals went according to plan apart from swapping round Wed and Thurs.  In the event, DH wasn't feeling too clever on Thursday so the fishcakes were abandoned in favour of soup and a sandwich.  Never mind, we can have them this week.

Sat - Salad (pilchards) to use up salad bits from the fridge
Sun - Lamb, green beans, mash, hm mini Yorkies (from freezer)
Mon - Gammon, chips, stuffed pepper
Tue - Lamb slices in gravy, swede, mash
Wed - Fishcakes, peas or green beans, croquettes
Thu - Spag bol (need to make the sauce)
Fri - Egg & chips

On my To Do list for this week are: bol sauce, pear crumble, some kind of soup

Just reading back for inspiration, Here's a really nice vegetable biriani recipe. It freezes well and you can use any veg.

250 g basmati rice
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
2 cloves of garlic, mashed to a paste with a little salt or use granules
2 green chillies, finely chopped (or use more chilli powder)
1 tsp garam masala
half tsp ground cumin
half tsp turmeric
half tsp chilli powder
100g yoghurt
1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
400g veg such as cauliflower, sweet potato, peas, onion, carrots.green beans.
prepared into chunks.

25g butter, melted
2 tbsp milk, warmed
half teaspoon of turmeric.

vegetable oil, to fry

Soak the rice for an hour and then boil it for 8 minutes.Then drain.
Mix the spices into the yogurt and lemon juice. Then mix in the vegetables.
Put a little oil into a frying pan and gently cook all the yogurt and spice coated veg for about 8 minutes, if they get too dry add a little water.
Put the veg into the bottom of a casserole dish.
Top with the rice.
Mix the melted butter, milk and turmeric and flick this around the top of the rice.
Put on a tight lid (you could use foil) and bake for about half an hour
When it cooked you can add sultanas, crispy onions, almond/cashews

My meal plan this week will be mostly previously cooked freezer meals, to minimise on washing up. 
My boiler won't repressurise at the moment, so having to boil kettles to wash up; and in light of the current economic situation, do not really want to have to do this.
Luckily, I have a gas check booked for the 5th, so they can take a look at the boiler aswell 🤞🏻

Tonight will be mushroom risotto; though I ate midday meal late, so not very hungry.

The other nights will be something like this 
1) Burger on bun, hash browns and corn
2) Katsu bake, edamame or green beans and chips
3) Lentil Bourgignon with baby roast potatoes/mash and sprouts
5) Chilli, sweet potato wedges and avocado
6) Goan curry with onion rings and naan
     Mung bean curry with red cabbage
     Cauliflower Jalfrezi with rice
7) BBQ jackfruit with edamame fettuccine. 

Could I please get the lentil bourgignon recipe please, sounds like a great winter warmer

Hi Kacie, I can't find the recipe I used, but this one was pretty similar.

T - Spinach, aubergine and chickpea curry, rice
W - toad in the hole, potatoes, veg
T - some sort of hotpot with mince & veg
F -  jerk chicken, rice 'n' peas
S - beef stew
S - lamb shanks

I have everything in stock so nothing to buy to make dinners this week.

I haven't posted a meal plan this week, as I honestly didn't know how I'd be feeling. I woke up on Monday with a serious stomach flare up. I suspected some sort of intolerance to something, which is normally wheat (but I'm OK with that recently); proceeded to feel sick for the next two days. So hadn't a clue what I wanted to eat. So, so far I've had:
BBQ tofu with mixed veg rice and ranch dressing and vegetable stew and dumplings.
