Queen your pie sounds good!

Brillo do you mind** sharing your tofu stir fry recipe? The cucumber bit sounds very tasty.

I've been ill and all I really want is comfort food.

Need to do an order but am thinking along the lines of:

today - out for curry
tomorrow - jacket potatoes, cauliflower cheese
Sunday - I really fancy a cheat's Sunday dinner, with nut cutlet for me and probably chicken thighs for the carnivores
Monday - veggie shepherds pie
Tuesday - lentil and vege soup and nice bread
Weds - some sort of Thai curry or laksa with noodles
Thurs - No idea!

Hello All - I'm working a lot of late nights this week so it's easy food all round really for everyone else

Tues - chow mein
Weds - we're at an event so I need to come up with something for the DC that's not just pizza (it will probably be just pizza)
Thurs - Risotto for them, fridge remnants for me
Fri - I want a veggie chilli so I suppose that will be the one proper cooked meal this week!
Sat - we're having a party at ours and splashing out on catering with vegan taco truck (so excited), kids at a sleepover, don't care what they have

Oh hello, perfect timing.
Monday: Shepherds Pie
Tuesday: Turkey meatballs in red thai curry thing
Wednesday: General Tsao Chicken
Thursday: OH is cooking and won't decide in time so he can sort it.
Friday: Salmon
Saturday: Roast Chicken
Sunday: Leftovers

I only started meal planning a few weeks ago. Trying to get a couple chicken, a couple of red meat and one fish dish in a week. DH looks traumatised when I suggest a meat-free day, so I'll work on that slowly.
