Would you share your meal plan please?

[NoHopeInTheKitchenHELP]

I'm absolutely rubbish in the kitchen, end up with beige oven dinners or takeaway and my main problem is I have no ideas.

Would you mind sharing what your eating this week please?

Tomorrow is a roast beef dinner
Monday salmon tacos with mango salsa
Tuesday Vietnamese chicken and rice
Wednesday chicken and ham pie
Thursday I'm out
Friday pasta and roast tomato sauce
Saturday chicken ruby curry

This week I'm doing

Spinach and Chickpea curry

Tuna pasta bake (I throw in any and all veg to make this) and make my own sauce from scratch

Salmon fillets, new potatoes and veg

Sausage casserole over 2 nights with spring greens (again any and all veg gets flung in the casserole and bunged in the slow cooker. I also put in a can of mixed beans to bulk it out. I put 10 sausages chopped up between 4 of us to cover both nights)

Chickpea shwarma wraps and salad

Black bean fajitas and salad

Tomorrow is a roast dinner. I've been trying to use up the contents of the freezer so ended up with more potato dishes than usual.

Next week is more varied with pasta, cous cous, soup and roasted veg to bulk out the meals instead.

Tonight was steak medallions, sweet potato wedges and salad.

We tend to have fave dishes on rotation every 2-3 weeks, and try a new recipe once or twice a week. Mostly they’re just one offs, but occasionally they get added to the faves list.

I follow the Batch Lady on Instagram - her recipes are family-friendly and simple. No faffing, and you either can cook in volume and freeze, or freeze bags you can lob in a slow cooker later.
