What are your meals for the week?

Good evening. Hoping for some inspiration, my meals seem to be pretty much the same every few weeks. What are your meal plans for the week?

I’ve just joined this thread for inspiration! 😊

Some of ours:
Slow cooker chilli con carne
Seabass with dried mixed herbs and chilli flakes on a bed of chorizo, red pepper, red onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes
Lamb chops, homemade hummus, flatbread, water cress and pomegranate seeds
Steak with a salad of rocket, peach or pear and stilton
Chicken burgers with sliced avocado
Enchiladas
Cheese quesadillas with a side of sliced carrots, cucumber etc

These sound lovely! I’m pinching your lamb chops and hummus meal

I'm trying to empty my freezer and save some money so this week and next is all freezer meals! Beef pie tomorrow with some frozen leftover stew.

I think these are what we might make this week!

Tonight: colcannon.
Then in no particular order:

• Baked cod, asparagus, roasted tomatoes, new potatoes, and peas.
• Seafood pho. Prawns, mussels, lemongrass, garlic, spring onion, coriander, bean sprouts, baby corn, whole baby tomatoes, pak choi (or just cabbage as I've got loads left 😂), chilli, rice noodles. Prawn crackers and a peanut sauce on the side.
• Pan fried salmon with roasted veg; carrots, red onion, parsnip, sprouts. I mix the veg with paprika and olive oil, and drizzle with tahini for five minutes at the end. Some sort of sauce.
• Stuffed peppers; wild rice and mushrooms, walnuts, diced peppers and courgette. Some Stilton on top at the end. Side salad.
• Shakshuka. I'll add in some peppers, courgette, and roasted aubergine. Side salad and crusty bread.
• Homemade soup of some form.

Lunches will mainly be a mix of:

• Tuna/cheese sandwiches.
• Hummus and veg wraps.
• Homemade squash/tomato/lentil soup.
• Eggs on toast.
• Cheese and crackers.
• Salad with mixed pulses.
• Homemade sushi (DH makes the night before).

Breakfast is usually just:

• Toast.
• Eggs on toast with fried tomato.
• Omelette.
• Crumpets - sometimes with an egg.
• Homemade granola and yoghurt with fruit.

Chicken ramen
salmon, broccoli and potato slices
tacos
spaghetti bolognaise
chicken massaman curry
haddock and pea risotto

I love seeing what people eat! Esp breakfast because it hardly ever gets mentioned and mines the same porridge, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, flax etc mix ( can't remember what!) prunes & maple syrup.

We had aubergine and mushroom ragu bake tonight. Loads of cheese on top. Kind of like a quick veggie moussaka. It was delicious. Leftover ragu with pasta for DH tomorrow and leftover bake for me and DS
