Thread: whats your meal plans for the week??

I've got a blank notebook and have written up daily plans too that suit my workdays, so when I'm doing my online shopping I can look up my days, and shop accordingly.
I also make one meal a moveable feast, fir instance today's was to be chick pea Dahl and savoury rice, but had paprika chicken and home cooked spicy Spanish rice. It means that I still have the Dahl and savoury rice on standby. Sometimes it's egg and chips, because life gies on and sometimes it's not possible to cook!

Yes I do and post it on my own thread - I wonder if anyone reads it lol.

It helps me buy the right stuff and stick to plan

There's already one on minimins that's almost identical:

Chicken chasseur (Chicken Chasseur)

The only difference is the SW has some tarragon added and omits the white wine.

I freeze spare chillis - then take one (or more!) out about 5 mins before you need it, and it will be soft enough to chop or cut up.

I like planning meals. For breakfast I always have either cereal and milk, or some combination of eggs, beans and bread.

Lunch tends to be leftovers from the night before.

Dinners for this week:

Monday: Leek and Pea pasta with light philly
Tuesday: Warm lentil salad with spinach and a poached egg on top
Wednesday: Chickpea Tagine
Thursday: Quorn Bolognese with wholewheat spaghetti
Friday: Stirfried veg with mexican seasoning, rice, wraps (synned)
Saturday: Out for a meal
Sunday: Pitta pizzas

so simple..i use the warburtons square wrap... this is 8 syns but it is quite large
use a level tblespoon of tom puree over, i use a hxa of cheese and a hxb of ham ( if im on a green day ..if its a red day would be free!)
put in the oven for about 5 mins until the topping is all cooked..delicious!!

I have always been pretty obsessed with coming up with weekly meal plans. I love finding old notebooks from several years ago and seeing how my eating habits have changed or being reminded of dishes I haven't cooked for ages.

This week's meal plan is

Monday: Mussel, bacon and leek linguini
Tuesday: Pork chop with purple potato dauphinoise (made with HEB milk and 120g of light soya cream - only 4 syns between the two of us!!) and braised red cabbage
Wednesday: At work late - service user activity at local carvary.
Thursday: Lentil dahl with spinach and butternut squash with rice and cucumber and mint salad.
Friday: Seafood risotto with baked fennel
Saturday: Steak, chips, salad and stilton baked mushrooms
Sunday: Smoked haddock with bubble and squeak cakes and sprouts.

Lunches this week include tofu and veg thai stirfry, baked potato with homemade coleslaw and cheese and homemade sushi.

Next week

Thurs: working 9 hrs late so chick pea Dahl and rice
Fri: working 15hrs so mushroom and lentil loaf chips and veg
Sat: off work: burgers (fiery pork, homemade) wedges and salad
Sun: off work: roast pork mmmm
Mon: working and on a course so out till 9pm Beef casserole in my slow cooker jacket pot
Tues: working 15 hrs and a sleepin but have a shadow so probably nothing till 10pm when he leaves! Then probably have egg and chips.
Wed: working 9hrs early, chicken and butternut squash Rogan Josh.


You know what? That loooong shift on Tuesday I may just take my SU out for a meal and join him, so the shadow can see how we do it! If I can find the dosh that is!!!

I am glad I read this wee thread got some great ideas and it made me notice a recipe from the mag i had missed before!!!
