Mealplans WB 29th February 2008

newlywed

Hi all, have been organised and meal planned the whole month

Found a way to make it much easier - I wrote down all the meals I usually make, a few that I wanted to try. Grouped them into Fish, Mince, Chicken, Lunches etc and then meal planned by picking things off the list to try and vary it all. Worked out quite well for me

Fri: Turkey Curry (from freezer)
Sat: Meatballs and rice
Sun: Omelete
Mon: Mackerel
Tue: Sweet/sour turkey
Wed: Chilli wraps
Thur: Bacon & egg sarnies (OH's request)

Everything homemade (unless otherwise noted) and vegan! :A

Friday
Pizza with roasted peppers & mushrooms
(Pizza crust premade in freezer)
Salad

Saturday
Falafels in pita with salad & tahini sauce
(Will make extra falafels for freezer)

Sunday
Spanokopita
Greek potatoes
Greek salad

Monday
Enchiladas
Salad

Tuesday
Veggie burgers on homemade buns
Homemade oven chips
Cole slaw

Wednesday

Salad

Thursday
TBD

As for last week... didn't stick very closely to the mealplan I'm afraid:

Friday
Pizza YES

Saturday
Falafels in pita with salad & tahini sauce NO, forgot to soak chickpeas & didn't have tahini. Had Sunday's meal instead.

Sunday
Yam rolls, fried noodles, veggie stir-fry, ma po tofu YES, but on Saturday. Had super-easy tea of veggie weiners & beans on toast with salad.

Monday
Tortilla beany bake NO, because my usual method of thermos-cooking beans didn't work so well with the flageolet beans, and they were still too hard and not ready in time for using. However, used some of the other ingredients (spinach, pasta sauce, vegan sour cream) to make a really nice pasta dish.

Tuesday
Veggie burgers on homemade buns NO, because had flageolet beans to use up from Monday. Had a bean & veg sausage hot pot with some garlic broccoli which was nice.

Wednesday
Potato kibbi NO, was in the mood for something spicy instead, so had tofu & vegetable Thai curry with steamed quinoa. YUM.

Thursday
Indian wraps NO, did the spicy thing yesterday, will probably have veggie chicken nuggets with homemade oven chips and something with courgettes instead, because I REALLY want chips tonight. Lots of chips.

I would love to try something like lamb stew, but I am hopefully at what kind of lamb to get

I can make beef stew using braising beef, but don't the equivalent for lamb.

It has to really simply labelled in Tescos for me! Oops.

I'm on a mission this week to use my slow cooker more, only ever cook rolled brisket of beef in it, tut tut.

Hiya!

I buy diced stewing lamb (no bone) from either the butcher or Tescos. It works to about £2.50 for 500g which is sufficient for 5 portions. I fry an onion then the lamb for 5 mins then pad out with:

carrots
swede
tin of baked beans
frozen peas
add a cassarole mix for 20p from Lidls or when on BOGOF

then bung in SC for 5-6 hrs then add the dumplings for another half hour.
