    Meal plan for the coming week:

    Sun - Gammon slices (from freezer), broccoli, potatoes
    Mon - Salad with chopped ham & pork
    Tue - Beef & mushroom stew (using some cooked beef chunks from freezer), mash
    Wed - Cod cakes, chips, peas
    Thu - Cornish pasty, carrots, mash
    Fri - Possibly out for a meal, otherwise pot luck   :)
    Sat - Seafood platter & side salad

    I need to bake a wholemeal loaf at the end of the week and very little (if any) shopping needed.
    Be kind to others and to yourself too.

    So glad to see that you thought it time to get a menu plan thread going again K9 its a good idea - I love it.

    Its been a long time since I posted on the forum, came in for a mooch around for ideas and lo and behold here you are.

    After dipping into some of your meal ideas I've come up with my own plan but not decided on all of the side dishes yet.

    Thurs - Piri piri chicken, sweet potato wedges, sweetcorn and tomato salsa.
    Fri - Teriyaki salmon, cauliflower rice, sweetcorn
    Sat - Feta & tomato quiche, ? veg
    Sun - Turkey steak in oyster sauce with stir-fry veg
    Mon - Chickpea, carrot & coriander falafel, pitta & salad
    Tues - Pork chop in a tomato & pepper sauce with pasta
    Wed - Thai style prawns with brown rice & veg.

    You're most welcome. That's what I wanted to do. Help people who are stuck with meal planning. 
    I've been a bit m.i.a. lately with regards to posting, but I do read.
    My plans at the moment are very basic as I don't know if my stomach is going to be okay or not .... Gastro issues!
