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

Thanks Bouicca21 and joedenise

I’ve had a Google for recipes too and think I will go for slow roast, I saw all the casserole type recipes too but as it’s a fatty cut of meat I don’t fancy it casseroled and I’m hoping the fat will render down better if I roast it.

will let you know how I get on, just hoping it isn’t to fatty.

I did casserole one last year in my slow cooker - had to leave it overnight so that the fat could set enough to remove it and then reheat.

I think I’ll have a go at the slow roast - I’m sure I can think of other things to cook at the same time in order to ensure best use of the oven.

This week's meal plan:

Mon - Pasta meal (tuna, mushrooms & peppers in white wine sauce)
Tue - Salad (probably pilchards)  though this may change, weather dependent!  
Wed - Fish fingers, peas & saute potatoes
Thu - Gammon, egg, chips
Fri - Battered cod
Sat - Chicken korma, small side of rice, naans
Sun - Lamb (from freezer), mash, carrots & swede

Last week's planned mini vanilla cheesecakes for Xmas didn't happen as there's not enough room in the freezer yet so have parked that job for another week.  Soup of the week will be parsnip & apple.  Any puddings this week will be fruit based - maybe apple crumble or fruit & jelly.  Either one means I can use up that last bit of ice cream that's lingering in the freezer.

Lentil Spaghetti Bolognese
One pot Lemon and Courgette pasta

Lentil Bolognese will now be Meatballs and pasta or courgetti for me. I have granddaughter possibly staying over. Also, the Meatballs are in the freezer already, which is chokka. Whereas the lentils will be good for another time. 

Lemon and Courgette pasta will move to Monday, if I haven't used up the courgettes on Saturday. I will use up more Lentil Bourgignon on Sunday instead, as I didn't manage to eat it all on Wednesday.  Its nice, but for one person It made way too many portions for my liking.

Tonight is now rice noodles cooked yesterday, with sweet potato, courgettes airfried in nutritional yeast, leftover beans and salsa.Granddaughter is not well, so couldn't come.

Meatballs will live to see another day, as they are a new pack! 

I've wrote down everything in freezer to do next week's meal plan, and courgettes are prepped and ready for Monday 💪🏻. Tomorrow will be Bourgignon which is in the fridge. 

I also made bread yesterday (not very starch solution friendly, but thought I was going to need it for granddaughter (I will now freeze half, or I will just keep eating it); and minestrone soup today. 

The battle to empty the freezer goes on 😂

Stuck to plan last week, hurrah!

I’ve got 4 portions of soup in the freezer so won’t make any more this week but I am going to do some smoked mackerel pate. Out Friday evening (probably some kind of junk/street food 😉) and for lunch next Saturday - it’s that time of year. So, the plan from today is:

Sat - tuna steak, tomato and pepper stew, chips 😋
Sun - beef stew, mash, green beans 
Mon - LO stew and mash, green beans 
Tues - beans on toast 
Wed - pork egg fried rice 
Thurs - harissa and courgette orzo with feta and roasted cherry tomatoes 

Have a good week, everyone.
