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

Slight change to last Thursday's dinner that was going to be chilli but ended up being a Kung Po to use up the leftover chicken meat.  Friday's "undecided" was lightly fried cod fillets since I bagged a couple ys at the Co-op.  This week's meal plan:

Sat (today) - H/m tomato & red pepper soup, corned beef sandwiches
Sun - Beef slices (from freezer), greens, carrots, mash
Mon - Pork steaks in BBQ sauce, butter beans, potatoes
Tue - Sausages in onion gravy, mash, greens
Wed - Scampi, chips, mushy peas
Thu - Cornish pasty, mash, greens
Fri - ???  Could be egg & chips!
Sat - Seafood platter

Bread maker has done its job this morning and I've used up half a large tin of evaporated milk to make a SC rice pudding that we can have with fruit or a dollop of jam/lemon curd.  Nicer (and cheaper) than the pots from the SM.

Quite quite a lot of using up and some items from the freezer this week. Will do a Lidl top up shop tomorrow and I picked up some bits I can’t get there when I nipped to sainsburys for milk earlier.

Mon - sausage and red pepper pasta, broccoli 
Tues - Thai red chicken curry, noodles, sugar snap peas 
Wed - salmon with creamy leeks and beans 
Thurs - getting lunch at work event so eggs or beans on toast 
Fri - Mediterranean lentils, spinach and sun dried tomatoes with tuna steak or halloumi 

Going to make leek and pea soup (with thanks to caronc for the idea 🙃)

I’m trying to get back into meal planning having recently moved. I’ve unpacked my combi microwave and slow cooker. The previous owners left me a double oven which consists of a large electric fan oven and smaller electric oven/grill. If I use the oven I will try and fill it to be more economical on electricity usage. 

Sat - 1/2 sweet chilli chicken pizza & 2 garlic bread slices, salad
Sun - beef stew (slow cooker)
Mon - pork loin steak in jerk sauce, (slow cooker) skinny fries & corn on the cob, salad
Tue - lamb madras (slow cooker)
Wed - Cajun chicken tray bake with Mediterranean veg & rice
Thu - chicken and peppers in black bean sauce and rice 
Fri - 1/2 sweet chilli chicken pizza & 2 garlic bread slices, salad 

Snacks - cheese, tinned pineapple, bananas, grapes. 

Any leftover portions from the slow cooker will be frozen for the following week. 

I will also make some soup in the slow cooker for lunches. I am thinking curried parsnip soup and a veg soup with a couple of handfuls of various bits of pasta / spaghetti & butternut squash soup.

Change of plan already!  I thought I'd got out some bacon for breakfast from he freezer but it's actually pork steaks so tomorrow's dinner will be pork steaks instead of chicken.  We'll have the chicken tonight.

Slight change of plans here too. DF shared some of my stew on Sat and he invited me over for a roast on Sunday. What I thought was black bean sauce in my store cupboard turned out to be teriyaki - must get my eyes tested again! 🤓

So far I have had a beef stew, lamb madras and tonight was Cajun chicken & Mediterranean veg tray bake. One leftover portion frozen. The rest of the chicken has been portioned up and frozen. 

Wed - pork loin steak in jerk sauce, (slow cooker) skinny fries & corn on the cob, salad. 

Thu - chicken (?) 
Fri - 1/2 sweet chilli chicken pizza & 2 garlic bread slices, salad

I had a wonderful week away with a friend I hadn’t seen since before Covid.  Back to real life and a dodgy boiler, means living out of the freezer as much as possible.  I’m expecting to be out to eat twice this coming week,  so that’s just 5 main meals to find.

lamb steak, carrots, broccoli and spinach 
baked sausages, egg, mushrooms, roast shallots and sweet potato wedges x2
macaroni cheese
lamb steak, spinach, courgette

Until I get to the shops I’m not sure what soup I will be making or what I’ll be doing for desserts.  All depends on what is cheapest, though I think I’ll be tucking a rice pudding  with some soaked dried fruit into the oven with the sausages and roast veg.
