In fairness we will get three dinners from this, roast, stir-fry, one or two chicken mayonnaise sandwiches and then chicken stock for risotto and we will add peas and asparagus to this.

Monday - Pan fried salmon which has been marinated in soy, honey finely chopped ginger and sesame oil, with jasmine rice and black sesame seeds with a warm teriyaki sauce on the side with green veg.

Tuesday - Chicken fatty eaters, home made guacamole, shop bought salsa, etc.,

Wednesday - WIll pop to the butcher and get some lamb chops

Thursday - Scallops with pureed garden peas and crispy parmentier on the side. However This is a moveable feast as I have normally had enough by Thursday, last Thursday DH was offered a toastie and I directed DS to the selection of spanish meats in the fridge.

Friday night every man for himself.

I am so bored of thinking about it, so far we have

Pho
Spaghetti and meatballs
Pasta bake

And.....?

Can I ask how you do the pho? I’ve never tried to do this at home but love it if we eat out.

I am so bad at meal planning. It would save money and prevent waste too. Marking for inspiration.

Cheesy chicken pasta bake
Roast chicken
Meatballs and pasta
Pulled pork
Chicken Curry

We only ever grocery shop for 5 nights because we go out for dinner on Fridays and there's normally another night during the week that we're busy or lazy and end up getting a takeaway or throw on a frozen pizza.

This has been great! I might resurrect next Saturday for more ideas. I really need to get out of my current menu rotation.

BBQ tomorrow
Butter chicken with cauliflower rice
Toad in the hole
Thai green curry
Meatballs
