Hi Pandora Sounds good to me! What do you stuff your mushrooms with? I'm trying a stuffing I usually use in peppers for my stuffed mushrooms next week, just interested to hear what other people use Roasted greek potatoes sound nice - what goes in this apart from the obvious answer of potatoes

Sorry if I'm being nosey!

Last time I made stuffed mushrooms, I sauteed the stems & gills with garlic & onion, then added fresh breadcrumbs and probably some other stuff which escapes me at the moment :rolleyes:. This time I think I'll sub steamed quinoa for the breadcrumbs for a bit of extra protein and add sundried tomatoes and basil for a kind of Italian-ish taste.

The Greek potatoes are roasted with olive oil, oregano, garlic, lemon & veggie stock.

Roasted Greek Potatoes

500g potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 to 1-1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed to a paste
1/2 cup vegetable stock (I use a stock cube to make)
juice of 1 lemon

Preheat oven to 200C.

Place the potatoes in a single layer in a roasting tin and pour the oil over them. Add dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil.

Roast the potatoes for 10 minutes. Add garlic, stir to coat potatoes and cook 5 minutes more.

Add the stock, stir and roast for another 15-25 minutes, until most of liquid is evaporated and potatoes are almost soft. Add the lemon juice, stir, then cover the tin with foil and cook for 15 minutes or so more, or until the potatoes are cooked through. If there is any liquid left, uncover and continue cooking until liquid is evaporated.

Two servings.

Hi all :wave: , thanks for the inspiration!
This is my second meal plan - I tend to shop once a fortnight so am working out how to plan for that, whether to do a mini shop for fresh things in between main shops and plan 2 weeks in advance... there's only two of us and OH is a better cook than me! So I'll volunteer on hotdog and pizza days...
I haven't allocated days yet!
pizza (homemade?)
Pasta with bacon
Wedges and spicy chicken
Hotdogs
Bean stew
Goat cheese salad
Roast chicken dinner

Well last week I didn't really stick to the plan, but it doesn't matter, much better to have a plan and be flexible with it, than no plan at all. It's very encouraging doing this thread.

Let's see about this week, thinking if I put a bit more detail it might help me remember!

This week..........
Today, Thursday:
No DD, so chicken wings (the last chicken in the freezer!),
Potato wedges and salad. Not a big pack of wings, so I'll probably have some soup and wedges, the real carnivores can have most of the meet.

Friday:
No DD, so retrieving left over rogan josh and saag aloo from the freezer. Spicy rice maybe, or I might try and make some chapattis.

Saturday:
Turkey/ham (guess where that's from!) in mushroom sauce with pasta, dd can have mushroom and cheese sauce.

Sunday:
No DD Steak and broccoli stirfry, found recipe on BBC website, meat in freezer, about time it was used, bought the broccoli and have OOD cashews. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5072/stirfried-beef-with-cashews-and-broccoli.jsp

Monday:
late home, rehearsals after school and I'm in work all day. Something to leave in the oven? Hmmm ? Haven't tried a bean/veg lasagne yet? Could get that ready on Sunday.

Tuesday:
Will have to think about the last two days..... Soup and pud maybe? still have some turkey broth

Wednesday:
??????????maybe I'll get inspired by something someone else does.
