Could we start a meal plan thread again, so it's not lost in the GC?
Ironically this week’s plan is all about cooking on the hob, even though it turned out that the oven was repairable. I think I’ll be out at least one day next week, so that’s 6 main meals to find.
Seafood risotto, green salad Tacos, green salad pork chop, purple sprouting broccoli, courgette, sweetcorn cheesy leek and bacon pasta lentil curry, spinach, spicy green beans mediterranean veg tart, green salad
Good morning everyone, another lovely day here. I went early to the fish shop and couldn’t resist the crab, so hammer and toothpick at the ready for tonight
Plans went a bit awry this week so a couple of carry forwards F- freezer rake/takeaway S-Philly cheese steak sandwiches S- tbc M- Gingery, garlicky black bean mince, rice, veg and shredded omelette. T - Teriyaki chicken thigh, corn cobette, salad, baked potatoes (c/f) W - Moroccan spiced lamb meatballs with pasta and HM tomato sauce. (c/f) T - Yoghurt chicken curry, rice and naan
Can't believe another week has gone by already! Next week's plan using up lots of freezer foods!
F - SC pork, new potatoes, green veg S - Spicy butternut squash traybake S - Lamb shanks, roast potatoes, roasted veg, green veg (from freezer) M - White fish thai curry, rice (fish from freezer) T - LO squash traybake W - Liver, bacon, mash, veg (from freezer) T - faggots, mash, peas (from freezer)
Mostly went to plan last week but I didn't get the soup or lemon drizzle cake made as there's plenty of soup in the freezer and it was just too hot to have the oven on for the cake. This week:
Sat (today) - Corned beef sandwiches, fruit & jelly Sun - Gammon (currently in the SC), potatoes, cabbage, carrots Mon - Cold gammon slices with salad Tue - Chicken, chips, peas Wed - Corned beef hash Thu - Steak pie, mash & veg (not sure what as yet) Fri - Fish
I’ve planned another week but up to the Tuesday again as I’m off for a couple of days and am also still desperately stretching the money 😬
Wed - prawn egg fried rice Thurs - chorizo and chickpea stew Fri - chicken thigh, new potato and pepper traybake Sat - LO traybake Sun - smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel (out for lunch) Mon - tuna and broccoli pesto pasta Tues - beans on toast
Trying to use up a few odds and ends lurking in the freezer and veg box this week. Its beginning to feel a bit more autumnal and I need to make sure I have freezer space for “soup season”
All to went to plan this week. F- freezer rake/takeaway S-Enchiladas S- Roast beef (cooked from the freezer), gravy, HM Yorkies, roasties and various veg M- Out for lunch so probably just something on toast T - Sausage, apple and leek pie, veg, spuds W - Chicken, rice and pea traybake T - Pasta with chorizo, pesto and tomato sauce
Didn't stick completely to plan this week but nothing was wasted, just stayed in the freezer! Still using lots of freezer food and HM ready meals this week as well.
F - HM faggots, mash, veg (from freezer) S - Minced beef goulash with pasta (from freezer) S - Chicken thighs, roast potatoes, roasted veg, green veg M - Gammon, egg, chips T - Lasagne, salad (from freezer) W - Toad in the hole, roast potatoes, veg T - Mince with lentils and veg, mash (from freezer)
