What's on the menu in your house this week?

[MistyMinge]

Not the most thrilling topic I know, but I am in need of inspiration. I've lost my cooking mojo. Hoping for some ideas before I head off to do the weekly shop.

We've got:

Burritos
Roast gammon
Cold gammon with cauliflower cheese
Pasta and sauce
Something from there freezer for dh and me as dc at a Halloween party
Shepherds pie

Not very exciting! Meal planning and food shopping are my most hated chore

My easy go to meals (that are super healthy too)

Veggie bolognese w/ wholewheat pasta and loads of peas and carrots. (Make the actual sauce too, no sugar)

Jacket w/ no added sugar baked beans and broccoli and carrots :)

Both pretty cheap to make too! I'll probably cook these at least twice a week each.

We only have 5 meals at home this week as we’re eating out one day and at family for another.

*Yoshida’s chicken, cheese mash, steamed broccoli, pepper & green beans
*HM lasagne, garlic bread and salad
*Greek chicken, flatbreads, Cous Cous, salad
*charsui pork & ‘unfried’ rice
*jambalaya

DH loves junk food/takeaways but I try to make healthy versions so I'll be making black bean burritos, homemade pizza, and mac and cheese this week for us. For me I'll make Italian beans and greens one night but he'll have quorn burgers or some such instead. No DCs, both vegetarians, and I always make lots extra for the freezer. Last week I made veggie sausage rolls, twice baked stuffed potatoes, and a pasta dish with tomatoes, olives, capers etc.

I have absolutely no idea. I also lost my cooking mojo (ages ago!) and tend to just end up taking more chicken out of the freezer and doing it with potatoes because I can’t think what else to do and I can’t seem to organise myself enough to buy the right stuff so it stays good to cook all week and actually decide what that might be.

My laziest meal:
1 pack of butternut squash and sweet potato soup mix.
1 pack of fresh spinach.
1 tin of tomatoes
1/2 tin of coconut milk.
handful of red lentils.
1 teaspoon ground coriander,
2 teaspoons of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of garam masala.
Garlic.
Chuck the spices and veg (apart from spinach) in a pan and fry off. Chuck everything else in (apart from spinach). Simmer for half an hour or so until creamy and thickened. Add spinach. Serve with Naan Breads and mango chutney.

(Serves four).

Avocado on toast with poached egg for lunch
Garlicky prawns & noodles tonight
Chicken fajitas with rice Sunday
Anchovy tomato sauce with mushrooms

Ham & Leek Pie,l
Roast Chicken & Veg etc
Gammon, egg & chips
Chicken stir fry
Spag bol
Prawn linguine
Sausage and mash 

Over the weekend it’s
Saturday - antipasti for lunch, Nachos, fajitas with homemade guacamole followed by honeycomb cheesecake.
Sunday - smoked salmon, Roast beef et al with apple pie then a light supper of poached eggs or soup.
Monday Mushroom soup. Baked potatoes, prawns and salad
Tuesday Celeriac soup. Dressed crab or stuffed aubergine with lemon butter with ribbon salad and homemade rye bread
Wednesday Spiced carrot soup. Pancetta/tapenade cod with a sun dried tomato risotto.

No idea after that. Probably back to beans on toast or just soup.

Sunday - roast chicken
Monday - burgers, Sweet Potato fries, salad
Tuesday - steak (always steak Tuesday!)
Wednesday - chicken kebabs, pitta, salad
Thursday - salmon, veg something
Friday - don't know yet

Boring as hell and very similar to last week , Friday will probably be something with mince, tomatoes/veg and pasta either meatballs or bologanse or maybe sausages if I get to the butchers.

Menu changes over summer and winter (who wants to make/eat stew in the summer?), but these are my winter go-to's.

Saturday is always a takeaway Chinese.

Sunday a roast.

Monday/Tuesday massive home made cottage pie that will see us over the two days.

We'd/thurs massive stew that will see us over the two days with crusty bread (sometimes make make my own). Stew always tastes more delicious the second day, it's literally stewed in its own juices. (Meat, onion, courgettes, leeks, carrots, parsnip, potatoes, 3/4 stock cubes, pepper).

Friday spag Bol or lasagne garlic bread.

I don't like having 3 days of minced beef. So I might do curry, fajitas, scampi, steak and ale pie with cheddar mash, toad in the hole with cheddar mash, smoked haddock/broccoli fish cakes.

I serve veg/salad with everything.

Dahl and rice
Cauliflower curry and rice
Sweet chilli tofu and mushroom noodles
Prawns tempura (for dd, tofu for me) and vegetable rice
Bubble and squeak
Tomato, chilli and garlic pasta
Mashed potato, vegan sausages and gravy with veg

Puddings will be apple pie and custard (vegan), bread and butter pudding (vegan), rice crispy cakes.

Monday: sweet chilli salmon with stir fry veg and noodles
Tuesday: Moroccan chicken and sweet potato mash

On the menu at our house this week is Fish and chips, beef cannelloni, roast chicken, chicken curry (made with chicken leftovers) with rice and naan, leek and potato soup with cheese scones, fresh pasta with pesto, and homemade pizza.

Just had a yummy Shepherds pie, will be doing a paella this week as in Spain at mo and want to use all the lovely local ingredients as I'm here. Not sure what else as it depends on the weather and how much we eat out.

Lentil bake, wedges and Cabbage
Butterbean, leek and kale soup
Cauliflower and carrot curry
Pinto beans, rice and greens
Pesto Pasta with green beans and peas

Tonight is thai green curry.

Tomorrow roast pork with all the trimmings.

Monday probably jacket potatoes with cauliflower cheese as we have a glut of homegrown cauliflowers this week.

Tuesday either omelletes or huevoros rancheros. We have our own chickens so do eggs as a main meal at least once a week.

Wednesday will be probably be chilli and rice after trick or treating.

Thursday am not sure yet but friday will be a proper made from scratch indian curry that takes hours but is worth all the faff. Might possibly do a pub meal Thursday as a half term treat.
