Meal planning thread anyone?

We've been pretty slack lately and have been eating too expensively and too unhealthily.

Time to get some planning done!

I'm feeling low on inspiration though for the fairly warm week coming up here. What are you cooking this week? We tend towards vegetarian but am happy to hear any and all ideas!

BBQ salmon fillets with a tandoori marinade, with rice and salad

Ours is very meat based I'm afraid!

Lamb, chickpea and butternut squash tagine with couscous.
Tuna pasta bake with salad.
Sausage and tomato bake with polenta and salad.
Penne bolognese with salad.
Pulled chilli beef wraps with salad.

Not that hot here in Wales either. Forecast seems to be mainly rain.

Sorry, I missed baked rice with chicken and chorizo off my list. With salad (we have lots of salad).

This week:
Monday- prawn and chorizo paella
Tuesday/Wednesday- butternut squash and lentil curry (we have duplicate meals if I'm working a long shift)
Thursday- piri-piri chicken thighs+spicy wedges
Friday- crispy cod (simple almond/coconut batter, tastes lovely when pan fried) with a homemade tartare sauce and minty peas.
Saturday- roast chicken dinner
Sunday- slow cooked beef brisket with canellini bean and leek mash

Sorry it's also a bit meat heavy this week! I made Beetroot burgers recently and they were fantastic!
