What were your weeknight dinners this week?

[pregnantncnc]

I like to hear what other (real) people eat for dinner over the course of a week, it helps me with meal planning a lot. We've been in a massive rut lately so I'm pretty desperate for some inspiration from anywhere other than the unrealistic "weeks of dinners" you see when you search youtube!

I'll go first:
Mon - Salmon with soy sauce, ginger and garlic, rice with leeks, broccoli
Tues - Chicken, spinach and chickpea curry with rice
Weds - Leftover curry
Thur - Pasta w/ prawns and chorizo tomato sauce
Fri - Pizza (previously homemade dough that had been frozen), sweet potato paprika wedges and corn on the cob

Ok!
Monday - aloo gobi tray bake - Tesco recipe
Tues - pork loin with creamy leek and cheesy mustard mash
Weds - lentil bolognaise and garlic bread (Tesco recipe)
Thurs - chorizo, tortilla, baguette, Spanish ham, toast tomatoes, asparagus,
Fri - enchiladas filled with rice and spicy beans

Really lovely meals this week. Two new recipes. All went down well.

Pressure cooker creamy chicken pasta.

Fish pie

I work Mondays and Wednesdays so kids eat at childcare and we have super easy dinners.
I normally try and cook something proper with lots of veg when I’m not at work but some days, that doesn’t happen and it’s easy instead.

Monday - Budda Bowl
Tuesday - Kebab with pitta bread and coleslaw
Wednesday - Sweet and Sour chicken (me chickpeas) …bit of a disaster as I didn’t make enough sauce to split between the meat and veggie version, so it was a tad dry
Thursday - Budda Bowl
Friday - Cake

@mrstea301 could you tell us what's in your kimchi dish ?

@mrstea301 do you have a recipe for the kimchi fried rice? I really want my nine year old to like kimchi as I love it but he isn't keen. He does however love fried rice and will generally eat anything I put in it so this could be a winner!

I've been off work and it's been a bad one-

Monday- lemon chicken pasta
Tuesday- pizza
Wednesday- nandos
Thursday- chicken Ceaser salad
Friday- Wahaca

I'm usually a lot healthier 😂🤦🏽‍♀️
