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

This week's meal plan, from existing stocks:

Sat (today) - Seafood platter (prawns, fish sticks, cockles) with side salad
Sun - Roast beef in gravy (from freezer), mash and a mixture of LO veg
Mon - Salmon salad (tin of salmon)
Tue - Chicken stir fry & noodles (cooked chicken pieces from freezer)
Wed - Fishcakes (from freezer), chips & peas
Thu - Sausage (from freezer), mash & greens
Fri - TBC but probably something fishy

Soup of the week - tomato & red pepper.

No baking needed as there's plenty of sweet goodies in the freezer and I've already made bread, both white and wholemeal.  There's also a variety of other bread-y options in the freezer - baps, wraps, part baked mini baguettes and breakfast muffins.

Saturday - pizza, garlic bread and wedges.

we are having an early Lunar New Year feast.  We have a huge liking for Korean food so we're doing a Korean short rib soup (not highly flavored...more of a comforting earthy but simple flavor), several small plates of appetizer type things (kind of like tapas)--spinach, zucchini, cucumber salad, lotus root, miso-glazed aubergine (which is sooo good that I find myself standing in the fridge light taking just a pinch with my fingers in the middle of the night--it is SOOO good).  I am braising some beautiful oxtails that I got this week, and some Korean grilled spicy chicken.  We have a carambola salad for a sweet, citrusy sort of salad.  Lots of food but I wont have to cook for 2-3 days after this with the leftovers.  I am lucky that my husband loves leftovers AND korean food.

This week's meal plan. Anything not eaten will roll over or I will just eat components of leftovers put together, if I don't fancy cooking what's planned. I've got one freezer currently defrosting, but still need to whittle stuff down in the other or before putting back. My fridge freezer is on its last legs  So need to try and get rid.



Fri will be one of the three, not all three! Just haven't decided which!

@snowbird20 do you have a recipe for the miso aubergine - that sounds delicious!

@K9sandFelines apologies for the late response - here's a link to a couple of recipes for the Korean Army Stew (or Budae Jjigae as it's known)

My usual go to

Another go to

A quick / easy version

Right I will stick to a meal plan this week - I've been having a few days where I just don't fancy dinner so it's a jacket potato in the air fryer for me and DH has been cooking his own stuff.  But this week I'm determined to actually eat:

M - Korean Army Stew (yes I didn't have this last week...)
T - Mac and cheese and salad
W - Sausage and mash, broccoli, green beans
T - Fish pie
F - Sausage and fennel pasta 
S - Homemade pizza
