What’s on your meal plan this week?

[StressfulBedtimes]

Just sat down to do ours and I’m drawing a total blank
I’m absolutely exhausted and my brain just isn’t braining this morning so looking for ideas to steal 😁
TIA

Beef and ale stew
Mexican chicken and rice
Crispy pork noodles
Chicken and chips
Takeaway Nando's
Tortilla pizzas

Mon - chicken curry
Tue - butternut/feta/tomato vegetable frittata thing
Wed - Asian beef salad
Thu - freezer lucky dip

... and then thankfully away from Friday so no more bloody meal planning, until next week.

M: Salmon with lemon couscous, broccoli, followed by home made apple pie.
T: pork fillet slow cooked in lime juice & spices, figs and creme fraiche
W: spaghetti meatballs in tomato & garlic sauce
T: chicken traybake with potatoes, French beans, black olives & lemons, & brown rice
F: frozen pizza for ds and seafood risotto for me.

We have a Gousto box arriving today which tends to be used for our Mon-Fri meals. Saturday we’ll be eating at PILs and Sunday I tend to cook a roast.

M. Cheesey broccoli pasta and garlic bread
T. Leek and potato soup with crusty bread
W. Chicken and caprese salad
Th. Pie,mash, veg
F. Pizza and salad
S. Pasta and sausage bake
Su. Roast beef, Yorkshires, veg

I raided my mil's garden yesterday so we'll be eating the results.

Today. Slow cooked tomatoes, courgettes and peppers (all from the garden) with half a jar of red pesto. Sausages and potato salad. Dessert will be stewed apples and plums with ice cream.

Tomorrow. Will blitz rest of red pesto vegetables with added tomatoes to make pasta sauce. Have bacon which needs using and pasta/cheese.

Wednesday. Beetroot soup and cheese bread. Wednesday is hectic. Will have dried apples dipped in chocolate as a snack after tea.

Thursday. One pot chicken with courgettes, broad beans and rice. Will probably make an apple crumble as got a massive box of apples.

Friday. Sopa de Lima with left over chicken for me and dh. Make your own pizza night for the kids. Left over crumble.

Saturday. Spaghetti Bolognese with homemade sauce, salad and garlic bread

Sunday. Out

DIY pizza

Chicken fajitas
Fish and chips
Goats cheese pastry thing which dh will almost certainly think is lunch and then want dinner too 🤣

Oh my gosh, you lot eat so well! Thanks for the thread op. I’m desperate too. Managed to get away with spaghetti hoops last night! I shall print all of these off.
parent gousto boxes really pricy?

We pay £45 per week for 5 meals for 2 people, but easily manage to feed pre-school age DS as well. I suppose it depends what you consider pricey, some people I know will spend what we do on Gousto on one weekly takeaway 🤷🏼‍♀️
