Next week for me, is as follows:

Lemon and Courgette pasta
Curry, chips and naan
Pizza and salad
Cauli alfredo
Satay and rice
"Chicken" burger with corn on the cob
Mushroom risotto 

The only thing not eaten last week was pizza and mushroom risotto changed to this week. I won't lie, but I will probably refrain from eating risotto from the freezer again, as I never enjoy it. 

This is the menu plan that I've followed this week. I've been keeping it very simple, and trying to stay out of the shops. However, I will have to replenish some bits tomorrow. Then I'm hoping not to buy until shopping is delivered on the 13th.

Chicken curry, stir fried spicy green beans and sauté potatoes, raspberries and blueberries, kefir x2
roast chicken, green beans, spinach, crushed roast potatoes, jelly and canned mandarin oranges, kefir
chicken and veg risotto, jelly and canned mandarin oranges, kefir
spinach and ricotta lasagne, raspberries, blueberries, kefir

This week's meal plan:

Today (Sat) - Hm tomato & red pepper soup, sandwich, chocolate sponge with chocolate sauce
Sun - Chicken casserole, mash, sprouts
Mon - Jambalaya (to use up the rest of the chicken, a couple of slices of cooked gammon and a red pepper)
Tue - Egg & chips, curry sauce
Wed - Scampi & side salad
Thu - Cornish pasty, peas, potatoes
Fri - Sea bass

I'll be using the chicken stock to make a minestrone type soup for a couple of lunches and making some sausage rolls to freeze for Xmas.  Other than that, no batch cooking or baking this week as freezer stocks need to be run down a bit.

Your spaghetti meal sounds lovely. Is it like an Asian fusion dish?

Well things haven't gone to plan for me. Friday night I ended up having something else, I can't even remember what now. 
My children came on Saturday so we ended up having a late mini buffet, as I missed granddaughter's birthday, as she was unwell. This just continued into the night as nobody wanted a 'real' meal. The cauliflower alfredo was what DD2 requested, but she ended up forgetting she had even asked for it. Just aswell, as It was still in the freezer 😁
So as always, my meal plan is a bit all over the place again 🤭
Tonight, I will use up the tofu I was meant to have on Friday, and possibly revisit the Jerk meals

I guess so, it’s Nigella’s:

I am using wholewheat spaghetti as it is half the price of spelt spaghetti 😉. It’s good cold the next day for lunch too 😋
