What meals have you had so far this week?

[CheeseyPeasy]

I love getting ideas from other peoples meals, I generally cook from scratch and try and avoid UPF but try to take a common sense approach.
I'm feeling board and looking for inspiration.

Monday
Frozen pizza with added toppings, salad.

Tuesday
Burgers, coleslaw and potato wedges
(All homemade except the buns)

Wednesday
Sweet and sour pork with rice
(cooked from scratch)

Tonight we are having chicken fried rice. I'm roasting a chicken and will use some of that, along with the leftover rice from last night and some veg from the fridge and freezer.

Tomorrow I will make a chicken curry with the rest of the chicken.

Monday - breakfast, lunch and tea.
Tuesday - breakfast, lunch and tea.
Wednesday - breakfast and tea (forgot to have lunch).
Thursday - lunch (more tba).

These are my lunches this week.

Sunday - homemade minestrone soup with sourdough toast

Monday - tofu with stir-fried shiitake mushrooms, homemade peanut butter sauce, sauerkraut and sweet red pepper drops.

Tuesday - fried green tomatoes with puy lentils and grilled halloumi

Wednesday - aubergine, chickpea, tomato and onion stew, with grated cheese.

Today - no lunch planned. I'm getting a Chinese takeaway this evening so leaving room for that. I might have a snack at about 3.30.

Tomorrow - meeting a friend and having lunch in a pub. I've seen the menu and will probably opt for sea bass. Might even indulge in a few chips! Not something I have very often.

Saturday - I don't usually have time to cook, so will either eat a plastic pouch meal (e.g. Merchant Gourmet 3-bean chilli) or raid my freezer for frozen leftovers.

Not really been thinking about what we have for meals much this week, as both had colds.

Bean chilli, rice and pitta
Chilli and rice leftovers, small pieces of chicken fillet, fajitas and salad
Potato, kale, green beans and fish in flavoured breadcrumbs
Veg above with meat or veggie sausages
Salmon with kale, potatoes, peas, carrot
Ready meals with peas and carrots
Veggie spag bol tonight with pasta
Tomorrow bean fajitas, cheese, guacamole and salad

I tend to wing it. Tonight I will stir fry some onion, peppers,courgette, mushroom in some garlic. Add some chicken.and the leftover rice and season with some smoked paprika. If it's too dry or starts to stick I add a little veg stock.

You could season with whatever you like, chilli, curry powder, tomato puree......

I bought mine from the Korean supermarket. I scanned the label on the Open Food app and the only level 4 NOVA UPF marker was MSG, which many argue shouldn't be a NOVA level 4 marker.

Generally, I pretty much have most breakfasts (other than a little UPF free granola a couple of times a week), lunches and dinners from scratch every day. Not going to freak out about a bit of gochujang paste 🤦‍♀️😂 I don't think the world will end or there will be some disastrous consequence because of my gochujang habit 😂

I don't eat breakfast or lunch unless I'm out with company, so only dinners for me:

T - Fajita chicken (pan-cooked, diced chicken thighs) w/veg, add seasoned black beans over rice (chicken&rice bowl)
W - Two-meat Chili (tomato paste with broth, seasoned with chili mix, dump in kidney beans, corn, I added mushrooms bc I like them) with leftover bacon & sausage
T - date night tonight, we're going out!
F - probably chili leftovers
Sa - I might just order a Pizza. College football season is in full swing so that's on the television all day and I typically become a couch potato.
