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

Love reading these for inspiration. Mine:

Monday - Baked potatoes, mine with tuna mayo and DH baked beans and cheese. Plus salad.
Tues - Tacos, minced beef ones with garlic bread and more salad!
Weds - Vegetable stir fry
Thurs - Lamb kebabs, minty new potatoes and more darn salad
Fri - Chicken Kiev and chips !

M- roast chicken, dauphinois, spinach
T- homemade pizzas
W- prawn curry
T- baked potatoes
F- fois gras and salad

Place marking as I need ideas too
Sun: Sunday roast
Mon : spaghetti and meat balls
Tues: jacket potato and tuna, Mayo, sweet corn
Wed: Egg Fried rice and bbq chicken
Thurs: Lasagne and salad
Friday: pork chops, curly fries and vegetables .

M - dominos (post vaccine, felt dizzy)
T - simply cook pork mince and rice dish
W - loaded Potatoes
T - roast dinner
F - fajitas
S - burgers, wedges, corn on cob etc
S - toad in the hole, mash, veg.

Mon- Katsu chicken & rice
Tue- Hunters chicken and sliced potato
Wed- Burgers and wedges
Thurs- pasta pesto
Fri- fish and chips (takeaway)

Mon = Sausage in baguette (aka posh hotdog), salad
Tue = Pasta with pesto and a big tomato salad
Wed = Fish, celery salad
Thu = McDonald's
Fri = nice burgers, brioche roll, salad

Salad is my family theme, goes down better than vegetables. Quite a meaty week because we have leftover bbq supplies in freezer.

@georgarina I know its not all complicated and I enjoy cooking so wouldn't struggle with the majority of it, but its more sometimes its nice to have something simple. My lot are happy to try new things and have lots of texture and flavours but they often just want the simple comfort food like egg and chips, toad in the hole chops, cottage pie , but it seems they are either very much a minority or people don't like admitting to cooking or liking basic fayre.

@sweeneytoddsrazor ooh we love a toad in the hole! No chops anymore as we are veggie but I do a Quorn meatballs and mash in a tomato sauce that’s proper comfort food too.

@Myshitisreal

I must admit the veggie rice dish was a) fabulous and b) cooked by our neighbours - we regularly share meals and this was one of their dishes.

The burrito bowl was a made up dish, I made some burrito bowls by just baking some tortilla wraps and filled half of it with a vegie (lentil and black bean) chilli and the other half with roasted corn, chopped bell peppers, lettuce, tomato and avocado with some grated cheese and sour cream… a bit of an odd one but it seems to go down well and was requested as a repeat dish!

@PuppyFeet that sounds amazing! Will have to give that a try, thank you
