Monday - tuna and sweetcorn burgers www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/5863/tuna-sweetcorn-burgers We already had the white bread and cheddar. I needed to buy: 2 tins tuna, 1 tin sweetcorn, salsa, bread rolls, lettuce, eggs, spring onions (2 bunches as needed for later in the week)
Tuesday - egg fried rice realfood.tesco.com/recipes/prawn-fried-rice.html We already had soy sauce and rice in the cupboard, peas in the freezer and I used the eggs and spring onions that I had left after making Monday’s dinner. I bought a packet of cooked prawns. I froze the spare prawns and will use them in Friday’s fish pie.
Wednesday - stuffed peppers www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/stuffed-peppers-with-couscous-courgette-and-mozzarella I needed to buy four red peppers, packet of lemon and coriander couscous, a courgette, tomatoes and mozzarella. I’ll serve with a green salad made with lettuce left from the tuna burgers on Monday.
Thursday - curry www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/tomato-chickpea-curry I already have the spices as I make this regularly. I bought a tin of tomatoes, tin coconut milk, a tin of chickpeas. I don’t bother with the fresh coriander. I will use tomatoes left after making tonight’s (Wednesday’s) meal.
Friday - fish pie www.womanmagazine.co.uk/archive/creamy-fish-pie-2326 I already have a block of cheddar. Needed to buy frozen fish pie mix, potatoes, dill and creme fraiche. I also bought a lemon as from experience I’ve found this tastes better with juice of half a lemon. Other lemon half is used for G&T! Add prawns from Tuesday’s meal.
Saturday - will make DH an omelette for breakfast with any leftover eggs.
Sunday - roast chicken (from local butcher) with roast potatoes (from pack used for fish pie).
