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

Soup of the week will be sweet potato leek and lentil.

pork chop, buttered leeks, mange tout, pineapple and kefir
mackerel, salsa verde, tomato salad, pineapple and kefir
salmon, roast Mediterranean veg, pineapple clafoutis x 2
pesto pasta
halibut, peas and sweetcorn

and I intend to have an indulgent Valentine’s Day meal and pretend someone loves me - steak, mushrooms, egg, potato wedges and some nice wine.  Can’t make up my mind whether to buy a tiramisu or make one.  Priced per portion it’s cheaper to make, but I’d be eating it for many days and that’s maybe just too indulgent.

Good for you, bouicca21 - it’ll be beans on toast for my Valentine’s Day dinner 😂

Sun - sausage, leek and mushroom pasta, broccoli 
Mon - beetroot burger, sweet potato fries, salad

This week's meal plan:

Sat (today) - Hm tomato & red pepper soup and ham sandwich, vanilla cheesecake topped with grapes for afters
Sun - Cooked chicken slices (from freezer), sprouts, mash, mini Yorkies
Mon - Salad, probably tinned pilchards
Tue - Hm cottage pie, diced swede & carrots, pickled red cabbage
Wed - Hm fish pie, peas & sweetcorn
Thu - Egg, beans & chips
Fri - Battered cod

Gaps are appearing in the freezer and pantry, thanks to using up stocks, and there are still things to be had.  I'll be doing a grocery order for delivery on Tuesday but will be keeping it as small as I can - not hard when you look at the price increases whilst trying to stay in budget.     Soup of the week will be leek & potato.

My meal plan is using everything we already have and hopefully avoiding shopping until Sunday, but may need fresh fruit and veg in a few days if there isn’t any on olio again this week.

Today- made a SPaG Bol but using vegan steak strips
Monday- sweet and sour with noodles and veg
Tuesday- pizza, garlic bread and cucumber 
Wednesday- sausage, duck eggs, beans and hash browns
Thursday- fish fingers, noodles and veg
Friday- pesto pasta
Saturday- something with remaining chicken pieces, maybe spicy Cous Cous.
sunday- shopping day, plan to do roast chicken. 

Have a good week all 😃

Done really well this week and stuck to six out of seven meals. So, one has rolled forward.

Working through leftovers and stray freezer bits still. Subject to change if I realise something needs using up or I have more leftovers.  

Tonight I used up homemade coleslaw with potato, a scrappy bit of vegan cheese, topped with salad.

23rd onwards:
'Scrambled oggs' fried rice 
Dahl

Tofu meal
Savoury lentils with carrot and swede

Pitta meal or pizza

Something with courgette

Something with butterbeans

Loose plan for this week:

1) + 2) Still need to do the last two meals above, as ate leftovers of other bits. 
3):Last night I had pasta, pesto and spinach. 
4)I am going to have some sort of "pulled pork/bbq" jackfruit one night probably with rice or corn and chips.
5)Another tofu meal 
6) Coronation jackfruit with jacket potato and salad bits
7) meatballs with mash and green beans or pasta again. 

Sorry for the stereo silence. I've been a bit uninspired this week and distracted.
 
I made an Egyptian stew using the courgette and butter beans. It was very nice. 
I didn't have the pulled pork style jackfruit, not sure what I had instead. Did have Coronation Jackfruit though. 
I had Pineapple tofu which I have leftovers of, and changed one of the meals to Cauliflower Jalfrezi; which  made two meals and i also have a portion of it left over.
Meatballs and mash didn't happen, but I've had a stir fry rice type meal somewhere this week too, and Nacho potatoes. 
Last night I had breakfast wraps for tea - mung bean egg, burger instead of sausage, spinach and tomatoes. Sometimes I'll do a variation and add hash brown style potato, beans and mushrooms. Wasn't going out to buy the ingredients specially though.
