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.

I'm impressed with everyones dinners.

Tonight I am taking the DCs to McDonalds. I m REALLY looking forward to a McPlant which I really quite like.

😂😂

Due to various health stuff, I need to reserve my efforts for other areas of my life. So meals are all about convenience for me! Luckily, there’s no one else to cook or budget for. This week has been:

Saturday - Aldi frozen quarter pounder with cheese in a brioche bun, with a few French fries
Sunday - steak & stout stew with cheese scone dumplings (Cook), roast potatoes & Yorkshire pudding (M&S), peas
Monday - slow cooked beef Ragu (this I did batch cook a few weeks ago), rice
Tuesday - chicken arrabiata (M&S)
Wednesday - Thai red chicken curry & rice (Cook) with a mini naan bread
Thursday - cottage pie (Cook) and petit pois
Friday - chunky cod fish fingers, French Fries & beans (all M&S)

All tasty, easy and still lost a pound this week (have lost 1.5 stone since the beginning of July, but don’t feel like I’ve been on a miserable diet).

Hats off to those who cook from scratch, especially when you’re dealing with multiple people and their tastes. I find it annoying enough deciding what I want myself each week! Over the next month or so, I’ll batch cook a chill and probably a chicken curry, but that’ll be it for effort until after Xmas.

I ended up having crisps on Thursday night when I got in.
So last night I had the salmon (my fridge is running very cold so it was still not fully defrosted) with the leftover cauliflower cheese, both baked. And steamed baby potatoes.

Quite frankly I need to eat better but I just can't be arsed and have what feels like zero time to cook (I hate cooking)

Monday - pork steaks and veg
Tuesday - fish and chips and peas (from home not chippy)
Wednesday - finished the pack of fish off.with baked beans this time.
Thursday - I can't actually remember 😆
Friday - Chinese. Definitely regret it. And have a huge gallbladder issues today.

Food is definitely a means to function rather than a particularly enjoyable event in my house 😆

Monday & Tuesday left over roast beef lots of veg.
Wednesday- Nigel Slater’s pork meat balls which I had batch cooked. They went into a casserole with about 200 ml of chicken stock and sliced large orange pepper. The last ten minutes I threw in a heaped teaspoon of wholegrain mustard and some fresh cream. Surprisingly good.
Thursday- home made chicken soup from freezer
Friday - was going to be take away but ended up egg and oven chips.
Tonight- was going to be fish but may well be a sandwich.

Love butter bean sausage and leek stew.

I didn’t go food shopping at the weekend (just too busy), I had the salmon darnes baked with a baked Parmesan crusted courgettes on Saturday, a lamb knuckle ion a sort of red wine and tomato casserole with veg included on Sunday. Monday was lasagna, yesterday was my slightly withered mushrooms fried up, slathered in a packet of mushroom sauce and thrown over mushroom filled pasta parcels.

I am not back in my apartment now until Sunday, I have a beef bourginonne that needs to be used up (treat from M&S slow cook range last time I was home). And I am also back here the following weekend so only need 5 dinners next week. I will probably just do “milk, potatoes, tomatoes” type shopping next week and work out of the freezer (I have a pizza base/good mozarella/proper pepperoni for 1 night, spag Bol and lamb rogan Josh from previous batch cooking, and some cooked roasted veg and ikea meatballs to add to Tom sauce and pasta. - or pesto pasta or pasta carbonara from fridge ingredients).

Monday - spaghetti bolognaise
Tuesday - chicken stir fry
Wednesday - roast chicken with potatoes, yorkshires and vegetables
thursday - out for Halloween event so will eat there
Friday - Greek yoghurt pizzas

Monday - burgers and fries
Tuesday - mince pie 😶
Tonight - Chicken and Pumpkin Casserole, baby potatoes and baby veg
Tomorrow - Balsamic Sausages and Roast Vegetables
Friday - Mongolian Beef with Rice

No idea about the weekend yet

Monday, a mega shepherds pie taken to DD’s - a favourite of 3 permanently famished Gdcs.
Tuesday, lamb stew, made with remains of roasted lamb shanks, pearl barley, potatoes, assorted other veg
Tonight, stir fry, small prawns (cheap from Asda!) loads of veg and noodles.

Korean jiggae hot soup with sushi rice
Vietnamese lemongrass porkchip with salad and rice

Both very easy to make and satisfying.

We eat together as a family from Friday to Monday so ....
Monday - linguine with tomato sauce and meatballs for the non-veggies
Tuesday - root vegetable broth and homemade bread for me as Mr Toast is away
Wednesday - jacket potato
Tomorrow will be vegetable paella
Friday we are all eating together again and it's going to be roast chicken with lots of veg, roasties and mash.
