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

Last minute meal out yesterday so Friday’s salmon will be had tonight instead. I’ll defrost the last of the “rubber chicken” and make a curry, I'll bulk it out with chickpeas which will generate more portions to go back in the freezer

Sat - Salmon & new potatoes
Sun - Stir fry pork & peppers in oyster sauce, rice
Mon - Mince & potatoes
Tues - Scampi & chips
Wed - Scone based pizza with salami & peppers
Thurs - Chicken & chickpea curry, rice
Fri - Herring or Haddock?, salad

All went to plan last week and the beef joint has been sliced/frozen.  This week:

Tue - Liver, bacon & onion casserole, mash, cabbage
Wed - Sausage, egg & chips
Thu - Pork casserole, mash, broccoli

Doesn't seem like a summer menu but it's not summer weather!

I was out more than I expected, so I have a meal or two in hand. 

meatballs, tomato and veg sauce, baked potato, stewed plums and kefir
vietnamese pork, mange tout, Pak Choi, noodles, stewed plums and custard x2
mediterranean veg tart, roast asparagus and baby corn, apricot crumble and custard
fish stir fry, cherry clafoutis and kefir x2

I think I’ll be out to lunch one day, if not I’ll make a caramelised onion tart and roast whatever veg I’ve got left.

Sun - Arrabiatta pasta with prawns
Mon - Moussaka
Tues - Chorizo, orzo & sweetcorn stew
Wed - Chicken in gravy, stuffing, new potatoes & veg

Hi Caronc, its a bbc goodfood recipe - I'd bought some mini cooking chorizo so looked for a recipe that would do a smallish kind of stew or adaptable for a cooking for one/two person dish
