I think I am getting a bit over thinky about this whole meal plan palaver-
Is a butty for lunch (with yogh, fruit,a dry biscuit) and pizza with cucumber, cherry toms and some grated carrot ok for one day? What about beans on toast or egg on toast for tea- is this a shit days food?

They have pancakes and cereal for breakfast (or cereal and croissant/cheese on toast/crumpet) for breakfast and a mid morning snack of fruit, with a snack of fruit after school (and maybe a bourbon or a custard cream type thing) but maybe once or twice a week we have something on and I get tied in knots about defrosting lamb chops and making 3 types of veg...
They only have fruit, jelly, yoghurt or a slice of cake for pudding. And only drink milk and water.

Today (Sat) - Vietnamese style aromatic beef stew with Jasmine Rice
Sun - Roast chicken, warm potato, kale and caramelised onion salad
Mon - Chicken and veg fried rice, spicy peanut sauce
Tue - Spaghetti with a tomato and basil sauce, cheese, salad
Wed -Chicken soup
Thur - Homemade chilli beans on home made toast with cheese on top
Fri - Thai style minced pork with coconut rice

Lots of chicken! When we have a roast, I buy a big one on a Sunday and then use it up for meals and soup during the week

Sunday- roast lamb, pumpkin, corn on cob, carrots
M - Cauliflower cheese for boys, DH & I eating out
T - DH's turn
W - Homemade pizza with flat bread base after Scouts
T DH's turn
F -Cheesy Pasta before we go to see DH in his (Am Dram) play.
S DH's turn

Thank you, meal planning for the week was on my to do list, off to measure ds3 for his karate uniform now.

We do EXACTLY the same thing each week (unless we are out for a meal)
S - roast or similar
M - left overs
T - fish cakes / rice
W - sausages / potatoes
T - eggs however
F - curry (dinner in a jar) or fajitas
S-something vegetarian

Girls have cooked dinner at school each day so we vary things a bit in the holidays

Sunday - roast belly pork, roast potatoes, roast cauliflower with cream, peas, carrots, gravy, crackling, wheelbarrow to get home in etc etc
Monday - fish (salmon for us, salmon fishcakes for children), mixed veg
Tuesday - stuffed pasta and tomato sauce (needs to be quick, swimming / dancing night)
Wednesday - chicken. Not sure how to serve it yet, possibly in a pie.
Thursday - shepherds pie (already in the freezer from last week) and baked beans/peas - I have a long day and won't have time to cook.
Friday - pasta (courgette / carrot / leek ribbons for us), smoked salmon & creme fraiche sauce with peas
Saturday - sausage inna bun (DS2's birthday party. There will be 9 children here for tea. Erk.). Jammy dodgers. Birthday cake. Possibly a few token grapes for balance. Ketchup is vegetable, yes?

Which reminds me, I must get the pork in - 9 for lunch today too and the joint is almost too large for the pan. Going to roast it a la Frank above and hope for the best.
