What's on the menu this week?

[Chocolateheaven123]

This is our first proper meal plan in months as I'm pregnant and struggled with sickness a lot this time.

On the planner this week is:
Slow cooker spaghetti Bolognese (tonight's dinner)
Homemade pizza with various toppings (ham, peppers, olives, tomato, etc)
Going for Sunday lunch so will have cheese toasties or something for tea
Beans on toast (our quick Monday night staple)
Tomato soup & crusty bread, followed by apple crumble and custard.
Sausages, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and peas
Chicken casserole with green beans and broccoli.

What else is everyone having this week? I love these as they're great for inspiration!

Next week I'm trying to clear the freezer of stashed frozen meat before Christmas comes along...

Chicken schnitzel and salad
Aubergine baked with minced lamb (sort of a deconstructed moussaka)
Beef stew with anchovies (good old Nigella!)
Janssen's Temptation and salad
