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.

S. Fish pie with veg
M. Bean, veg and halloumi burritos with rice/sweet potato wedges
T. Veggie sausage casserole and mash
W. Soup and toasted sandwiches
T. Salmon, roast veg, garlic potatoes
F. Quorn and veg lasagne with salad, garlic bread
S. Fish cakes with veg

Anything that takes any time is already in the freezer so just needs defrosting and sides adding. DH and I are both feeling in need of an easy, low effort week.

I'm going to do a puy lentil veggie lasagne today.
Tomorrow will probably be something like egg and chips or jacket potatoes and soup, to use things up before we go away for a few days.
