What's your family meal plan for this week?

[Someonesayroadtrip]

Just a bit stuck in a rut, especially this year. Looking for ideas.

Chickpea and cauliflower curry and rice
Prawn stir fry
Lasagne
Homemade Chicken kebab, rice and salad
chill con carne

Following with interest! We eat meat but only poultry. I make a lot of veggie curries, everything else is chicken or fish. But my kids are super fussy - hate spices, veggies that aren't puréed and hidden etc. I end up making eg a plain chicken tikka masala with a flavoursome veggie curry. The rice has to be plain rice 🙄
They like roast chicken but don't like nut roast so when we make that I do a foil wrapped chicken breast each for them. Risotto - ok if the onions are cooked muchly then blended. They just hate 'bits' in food!!!

I make cauliflower cheese one day every week and started doing the Jamie Oliver one where all the leaves and stalks are also used, plus more mustard than I normally put in. Was delicious!

Dd1 has decided to be veggie this week so we are supportive and having....
Nice to hear that, much nicer than another thread on here where a parent wasn't being at all supportive.

I am adding lasagna and risotto to my repertoire after reading here, we never have those...

In no particular order:
Pork loin with peppercorn sauce & veg
Chilli in wraps with guacamole etc
Veggie lasagne
Salmon steaks with green beans and noodles

Lasagne is a weekend or holidays meal here. Too much faff to cook after a long day at work!

Extras in at the moment are
Spaghetti bolognaise

Maybe a few random freezer lucky dips

RemusLupin I quite agree about the faff which is why I usually make bolognaise with 5lb of mince: enough for 2 spag bol dinners for 4 and two big lasagnes for 4-6. One for a weekend family supper and one for the freezer.

Midweek Sainsbury's test the difference decanter into a square oven dish, with a chopped mozzarella ball tucked in, sliced toms on top and a sprinkle of cheddar works wonders after a long day!

Tonight- Taco's, Salad and Fries

Mon-Roast Chicken, Roast Pots with garlic and onion. Sprouts, Carrots and Broccoli with Stuffing and Gravy.

Tues-Homemade soup using leftover chicken carcass to make the stock (add in carrots, onion, handful of macaroni pasta) top with leftover shredded chicken and Tiger Bread and Butter on the side.

Wed-Gammon and Jacket Pot, with Peas and Broccoli, pickles and dip.

Thurs- Spag Bol and Garlic Bread

Sat- Possibly going on a diet after seeing what I'll be eating for the next week!

07/12/20 Monday stuffed peppers and rice

09/12/20 - Wednesday - sausage, egg and chips or sausage omelette
10/12/20 - Thursday - special fried rice and curry sauce.

We had roast chicken today, so I'll make a pie tomorrow. Plan B would be enchiladas (boosted by a tin of black beans and a pepper)

We need an early supper on Tuesday, so it will be ragu and pasta (batch cooked on Friday).

If there is any chicken left we'll have chicken ramen noodles (otherwise I'll defrost some frozen prawns)

I'm trying to make space in the freezer, so we'll have steak, ratatouille (batch cooked last week) and make some potato wedges with the King Edwards we didn't need in the roast.

I might make a chocolatey chilli for Friday (possible with guacamole if I go shopping).

S: Seafood linguine, garlic bread
M: Chili garlic tofu & veg stir fry, rice
T: 3 bean stew
W: Pesto salmon, baby potatoes, roast veg
T: Thai veg curry with rice
F : Halloumi, bean & veg burritos with various sides

Toast with avocado and leftover salmon
Miso tofu and greens
Roast chicken
Home made hummus and roast veg
Chicken risotto à la leftovers
Hoisin mushrooms and pork
Black bean chilli

I've finally realised that I really don't enjoy or need 'proper' meals every evening, I am perfectly happy with cheese & crackers or a toasted sandwich. Tonight we are having moussaka, tomorrow & Tuesday DH can eat up something from the freezer ... I gave chilli & a chicken casserole that need eating, I will have a snack type meal. I might cook something Wed; Thursday DH is collecting DS from Uni so hopefully they will eat out. Steak fajitas on Fri & takeaway next Sat. Roast chicken on Sunday.

I feel much more relaxed about not having to meal plan & prep 'proper' meals ... my DH does cook as well so he can share the burden. Just so fed up of cooking most nights after 32 years of marriage .
