I've just borrowed Mary berrys Sunday lunches book from the library and am doing some recipes from that.

In no order:

Tarragon chicken casserole and rice
Mushroom and double cheese pastA bake with peas
Salmon and spinach bake with green beans and broccoli
Asparagus and broad bean risotto

Also we're having beans on toast once on the day we all get in late, and lentil soup another night.
