    This week so far:

    M: Hamburger pasta
    T: Hoisin beef and rice
    W: Chilli, avocado and sweet potato
    T: Party bits (DD2's birthday)
    F: Something with the spinach
    S: Carrot Biryani
    S: Jacket potato, coronation jackfruit and mango salsa





    I ended up having orange tofu last night, as an orange was on its last legs. I'm going to freeze the rest of the tofu, or have it in a day or so. Tonight I'm using the spinach, and making a quick jalfrezi with a jar I found in the cupboard from Ald*. Ill be adding onion, pepper and chickpeas also.
    So, ill push the biryani to Monday or prep and freeze the carrots/cook soup.
    I didn't think that meal plan through as the end two meals are curry profiles. Even though love curry, I don't really want three nights of various curries. So, may have to have a rethink !

    This week's meal plan.
    Going well so far.
    I had leftover pasta, but can't face eating that again as it had gone a bit mushy once defrosted and reheated.
    Carrot dhal made four portions. I've consumed 1/4 and put the rest in the freezer, as it honestly didn't wow me. So couldn't face eating it all week!
    Yesterday was straight forward to use up lettuce.

    Today, I need to use up mango salsa which was meant to go with coronation jackfruit for about the past three meal plans. It's currently sat in the fridge, pre-made from a few days ago.
    Saturday, I'm thinking about Curry Ramen.
    Which just leaves Sunday 🤔. I'll have to take note of what's left and what needs using.

    Then already onto a new week!
