This week.

We have chicken ramen tonight using leftover roast chicken from Sunday.

After that I am out of ideas. And need to meal plan as have some big expenses coming up and can't afford to push the fuck it button and order in Dominoes. :)

TIA

Tonight I'm just having ramen also.

Last night I had those Buldak Carbonara spicy noodles with chicken dumplings and pork and veggie dumplings. It was incredible!

We are supposed to be having fish pie made by DH but he's forgotten and as we're practising 'ODFOx trusting everyone in the family doing their own jobs rather than micromanaging' I'm giving it until 7 before I mention it and he realises and then we have soup and toasties or takeaway.

Chicken marinated in shawarma paste
Za’atar roast potatoes
Chopped salad with a dressing made from white wine vinegar, pomegranate molasses, honey, garlic, olive oil, black pepper, sea salt and fresh mint

Was actually a bit of fridge/cupboard raid job but will definitely make it again.
