Tell me what delicious food you have in your meal plans this week

[JemimaMuddledUp]

I am bored of the same rotation of meals that I keep cooking and need some inspiration. I know this topic is done to death, but most of the threads when I searched were mid-winter and so possibly not quite the same as what people are cooking now.

We aren't particularly fussy, although we don't eat too much meat and DS2 is lactose intolerant (plenty of dairy/lactose free alternatives available though so most recipes can be adapted). The biggest problem we have is time - DH and I work FT and our 3 DC (who are 13, 11 and 9) do lots of activities like football, rugby, hockey, wind band, orchestra, piano lessons, Brownies, swimming etc so food prep needs to be either very quick or something that can be put in the slow cooker in the morning.

This week's meal plan was:
M - Veggie burgers and wedges with peas
T - Spaghetti Bolognese with crusty bread and salad
W - Falafels with couscous, hummus and salad
Th - Fajitas with corn on the cob and salad
F - Spicy sausage pasta with broccoli
S - Korma with rice and nan bread and cauliflower
Su - Spanish Tortilla with crusty bread and salad

Now your turn!

[CharleyFarleyy]

This week we have:

-Chilli dogs (made from BBQ left overs)
-Turkish flat breads
-Chorizo carbonara
-Sausage gnochi
-Coconut and chili biriani
-beef and red wine tortalini in arabatta sauce
-beef in red wine stew with roasties served in a giant yorkshire pudding

Apologies for any spelling mistakes I'm using the app

I see a gnocchi theme...

Do you make your own gnocchi or buy it?

One of my maybes for next week was gnocchi with the same spicy tomato sauce and sausages that I put with pasta. What is your sausage gnocchi recipe Charley?

[DameDancealot]

Some things this week

Chicken thighs with chorizo and potato, will use leftovers and add grated cheese and coriander to turn into tortillas for another night.

[JemimaMuddledUp]

You can never have too many apples!

I didn't do the greens so can't comment on that but the gnocchi was delish

my family are currently at the mercy of my pregnancy induced "food swings" and inability to give a shit

so this week we have mostly been eating:

• smoked salmon and cream

Jools' pregnant pasta keeps being mentioned, I think the recipe is in one of the JO books I have. I'll have to take a look.

I've reserved 15 minute meals from the library too, I have the 30 minute one but sometimes that is too long on a weeknight!

I used to love cooking, back when it was just me and DH and we had all evening to cook and eat while we talked about our day. Now it feels like a race against the clock every night.
