What's your meal plan this week?

[BookFiend4Life]

I always find these threads soothing. We've got:

Cheesy chicken, zucchini and rice casserole
Sheet pan chicken sausage and veggies
Crockpot tuscan lentil soup
Tortellini with garlic clams and shrimp
Leftovers
Spinach and Butterbean stew (and Oatmeal cookies!)
Blackened chicken chop salad

Oh dear, I see there's already a "What's for dinner" post! Well chime in you're type A and already have the next week planned out 😂

Today: Hairy Biker's goulash and rice, followed by lemon and sugar pancakes (of course!)
Weds: sausages, mash and home-baked beans
Thurs: salmon and broccoli pasta
Fri: home made pizza
Sat: chicken tikka masala and pilau rice
Sun: roast chicken, stuffing, roast potatoes and veg

...and that's as far as I've got!

Monday: Mushroom and blue cheese gnocchi
Tuesday: Tuna pasta bake
Wednesday: prawn and tomato harissa pesto pasta
Thursday: beetroot risotto
Friday: paneer korma
I don't plan for the weekends as we sometimes eat out or go to one of our parents, but at some point I'll do a veggie chilli

Today: Tomatoes and goats cheese gnocchi with salad (I’m so looking forward to it)
Wednesday: Prawn jambalaya
Thursday: Tandoori basa with chickpeas, peas and peppers
Friday: 3 cheese bake with salad
Saturday: Pizza
Sunday: Maybe vegetarian biryani. Maybe roast.

@YingMei I need paneer korma!

Today-pork and chorizo burgers
Wednesday- chinese chicken
Thursday- out for dinner so children can go feral and sort their own (at 19 and 21 I think they will survive...)
Friday-salmon in soy and ginger
Saturday-pulled pork
Sunday-roast chicken

I made a big veg chilli on Sunday and obviously made too much -
Sunday we had it with potato wedges, salad, cheese and sour cream.
Monday with rice and tortilla chips, sour cream
Today with halloumi chips, salad and garlic bread, and DH has already earmarked the last of it with jacket potato and cheese for tomorrow ! I've declined.
Thursday - chinese prawn stir fry and noodles
Friday - veggie burgers with salad and fries
Saturday - butter 'chicken' with rice and homemade naans

Lasagne & salad
Paella
Chicken parmigiana, roast new potatoes, green beans
Some sort of curry (undecided)
Oven baked cod/chips
Dinner out
Roast dinner of some sort

Yummy what great ideas! The trouble with these threads is that I then want to change up my whole plan and make other things!! I can always plan two weeks out I suppose...

Had them for breakfast - can’t quite believe I made pancakes at 6.40 this morning.

We did! It's the law in our house on pancake day

Dh and I share the cooking but my days I'm doing
Pesto chicken with roasted tomatoes, broccoli and new potatoes
Roasted veg pasta with feta
Not sure what he's got planned. There's lots of sausages in the fridge though 😂

Monday - rosemary chicken, mash, buttered leeks
Today - sausage, sage and butternut squash pasta
Tomorrow - red lentil and carrot dhal
Thursday - roast cauliflower tagine
Friday - homemade pizzas

I don't think I've ever planned a weeks menu in my life! I view it from the other way round. Once a week or so I buy the veg that most catches my eye, then each morning, I have a look, see what's there, today was broccoli, and pick something from the freezer to go with it. Tonight was sea bass. I just make it up as I go along.

At the end of the week, I might shove all the veg odds and sods into a fried rice type thing. Or a tray bake thingy. Or a soup. Nothing gets wasted.

That's as far as my planning goes. I like the surprise element🤣

I did pancakes for the dc for breakfast and had made 3 times the amount of batter so there would be enough for them to have pudding too! But no, I hate the idea of pancakes for dinner, they’re not filling (eggs water and milk and then a load of sugary fillings) and mine wouldn’t like savoury ones.
I do! But they don’t.
Plus the sugar wreaks havoc on your blood sugar and would leave all 3 of mine ravenous an hour or two later for a proper meal so they have them for pudding. Lots of them with very delicious fillings!

I’m another one who got up at silly o’clock to make pancakes. I was mixing batter at 6am.

We have pancakes every weekend so haven't bothered today.
Monday - Chicken and mushroom pie with mash
Tuesday - Chip shop
Wednesday - Home made pizzas
Thursday - Jacket potatoes
Friday - Creamy mushroom pasta
Saturday - Home made chinese curry
Sunday - Roast dinner

I did a load of batch cooking at the weekend so we can eat well for the next few weeks:
M: Florentina traybake for some, mushroom stroganoff for the rest
T: Jerk "beef" casserole (used fake beef for the veggies) and green beans
W: Homemade spinach pesto pasta with sundried tomato's
T: Something tofu based (stir fry maybe)
F: Vegetable biryani
S: Breakfast casserole
S: I'm going to make a pie with mash and veg.
