What's for dinner this week?

[OnlyYellowRoses]

Hey all,

I'm into an 'everything is boring and repetitive' meals cycle again so want to ask, what are the next meals you've planned or will be having this week?

In our home there's 2 adults (share the cooking) two teens and one smaller child. So anything that is a meal that goes quite far is willingly accepted as an idea! Usually spend about half an hour cooking in the evenings.

Ideas please?

We usually have on an average week
Pasta with sauce / garlic bread
Fajitas/ enchiladas/ quesadillas
Curry and rice
Fish and veg
Full English
Roast
Pizza (sometimes bought sometimes I make them)

M: Beef burgers, chips, salad
T: Baked ham, boiled potatoes, steamed turnip, carrot, peas
W: Repeat
T: Spanish omelette (leftovers) with green salad
F: chicken chausseur with mash, green beans, broccoli
S: Pizza
S: Crispy salmon, rice, cauliflower, broccoli

I will save you a plate, always room for one more! 😁 We're a bit cooking mad in this house. Just avoid DH's tuna curry 🤢, or my lazy meal of a bowl of potatoes and crusty bread haha!

Jacket potatoes tonight - scooped out the inside, mixed with cheese, bacon & chicken, back in the oven to crisp & serve with beans. Minimal effort but a slightly longer cooking time.

M leftovers (pasta bake or lentil soup)
T mock moussaka and veggies
W chicken wrapped in bacon, mash and veggies
T Spanish omelette, veg sticks
F out to a restaurant with DM and DH
S toad-in-the-hole, veggies
S sticky lemon chicken, noodles and peas

Last night was veggie burgers and salad.

Tonight was chickpea curry with rice.

Coming up probably:

Creamy pasta
Stirfry
Homemade pizza

Last night was jackets, sausages, beans, cheese, kale and broccoli.
Tonight was cottage pie with leftover roast beef from Sunday.
Tomorrow I’m out and dh will have the leftovers, dd and ds are also out.
Thursday will most likely be prawn curry and rice.
that’s as far as we’ve planned.

M - Mushroom stroganoff
T - Italian sausages and lentils
W - Chicken thighs with leeks, pearl barley & cider
T - out for dinner with DP
F - Smoky hake & beans
S - Beef shin stew

Ask chat GBT to recommend a meal plan 🤣
