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

Another week over and mainly stuck to plan although days swapped about a bit!  This week's plan:

S - gammon steak, new potatoes, corn on the cob, mushrooms
M - mushroom stroganoff, rice
T - 5 spiced pork fillet, rice, green veg (will freeze half)
W - HM faggots, mash, veg (will make double and freeze half)
T - Hunters chicken meatloaf, mash, veg (LOs will be lunch the following day)
F - beef and courgette koftas, rice, salad, yoghurt and mint dressing
S - Beef and barley stew, mash (from freezer

Lots of changes due to hospital appointments for both DH and I.  He's got an appointment at a hospital over an hour away at 5.45pm so it will be too late to eat when we get home so have decided to eat out tonight.
 
I'd already swapped Friday and Wednesday's meals so last night we had the beef and courgette koftas; tonight we'll eat out; Friday will now be faggots and Saturday will be beef and barley stew.

The hunters chicken meatloaf will end up on next month's plan some time!  As we were going to be having LOs for lunch the following day we'll now have jacket potato with baked beans tomorrow.

Could you please share your chasni recipe? It sounds delicious. I can sub the chicken for cauliflower or something else. Thanks. 

It's a Dan Toombs recipe, it's a bit of a faff as you need base curry sauce but DS2 makes the base in large batches then freezes in 1 cup amounts. We don't add the food colouring. I think cauli would work really well. Chicken Chasni Recipe - Restaurant Style - THE CURRY GUY (greatcurryrecipes.net)

I googled it, but didn't get what he meant by the base curry. I am guessing he has a recipe for that.
Thanks.

Here you go Curry House Base Sauce Recipe - Small Batch For BIR by The Curry Guy (greatcurryrecipes.net) if you don't want to make lots.

I shall be out to lunch at least one day in the week, so just 6 main meals to find.

This week’s soup will be ham and lentil.
sardines with a Greekish salad x2
Pasta puttanesca x2
tuna anchovy pasta x2

not too sure about desserts - I have enough fresh fruit for 3 or maybe 4 days so maybe will just make something simple like jelly and canned fruit or a trifle for the other days - that way I won’t need to go shopping and deal with the temptation to buy stuff.

Will make spicy carrot and lentil soup for couple of days lunches 🙃

@Mrs_Motivated i too have a lamb breast, currently in the freezer, but due to be added to next week’s meal plan.  I am quite sure my mum used to roast lamb breast but when I’ve googled all the recipes are for casseroling it.

Not had stuffed lamb breast for a long time but when we first married I used to bone the breast myself and stuff it.  I always roasted it but think it's best to do it on a rack as it's a very fatty joint.  IIRC I used to cook it for the same length of time as the potatoes - just put it in the tin surrounded by potatoes.  I don't eat it now as I do Slimming World and it's just too fatty but a lovely joint.
