    I'll start a proper meal plan again once Dd1 is back at uni properly, as she is here one week then not the next (here at the moment). So I've just had veg noodles and soya chunks and Moroccan tagine when she wasn't here, and a few other things like burgers.
    Also commenting to bump the thread as I couldn't even find it. It had dropped to page 89!!

    Tonight we have had a Plant Kitchen (m and s) meal deal, which wasn't that nice tbh. 
    Southern fried fillets, popcorn cauli bites, peas and chips.
    Tomorrow will be something child friendly for GD as she has ADHD and possibly Autism and is very rigid with food.

  • Last week all went to plan and a full week’s planning done starting from tonight:

    Sat - pea and porcini risotto 
    Sun - roast pork, crispy gnocchi, port sauce, green veg
    Mon - pork and tomato pasta, green veg 
    Tues - LO pasta, green veg 
    Wed - tuna steak with lentils, spinach and sun dried tomatoes 
    Thurs - sweet potato and peanut Thai curry, noodles 
    Fri - chorizo, spinach and cannellini bean mash with poached egg 

    Also making celery and Stilton soup for work lunches 😋
    Do you have the recipe for the sweet potato and peanut thai curry noodles please?
    Hi K9. It will be something along the lines of this curry https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/satay-sweet-potato-curry but I might roast the sweet potato while the oven is on today and will probably add spring onions at the end instead of softening an onion at the start. I will just pop some bottled lime juice in and depending on time might not bother with the garlic and ginger. I’ll also use frozen spinach. Will serve it with noodles dressed in sesame oil. Sorry, bit of a make it up one for me! JKS 🙃

    Another week rolls round. Slightly changed tonight’s chorizo and cannellini bean meal by turning it into a stew rather than a hash. Everything else to plan. All sorted for next week, will shop tomorrow:

    Sat - prawn saganaki, broccoli, crusty bread 
    Sun - roast chicken, roast new potatoes with feta, green veg 
    Mon - tuna and green bean pesto pasta 
    Tues - beans on toast 
    Wed - chicken egg fried rice 
    Thurs - pea and porcini risotto, mushrooms, green veg 
    Fri - chorizo, potato and sweetcorn hash, fried egg 

    Making Thai sweet potato soup this week.

    This is my meal plan for this week -
    Monday - Fishcakes, Chips and Sweetcorn
    Tuesday - Fishfingers, Chips and Beans
    Wednesday - Jacket Potatoes
    Thursday - Chicken and Vegetable Rice
    Friday - Pizza, Garlic Bread, Veg Sticks
    Saturday - Teriyaki Beef and Jasmine Rice
    Sunday - Shepherds Pie and Beans

    I realised that I’d made a mistake with Monday and Tuesday with fishcakes and then fishfingers and went to change the monthly meal plan on the fridge to have the lasagne that we didn’t have this week as we ate at my parents. Actual dissent from the children, so double fish it is!

    Had all but two meals - the Haluski and Sundays meal. So I will carry these forward. I will post this week's plan underneath, even though it's already Thursday
