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

Do you know I can barely remember. We had frozen pizza one night, Chinese another night. Roast pork with potatoes, veg and gravy and spaghetti bolognese also featured.

How do you all remember this? Tonight we had a Chinese, last night we had sausage, chips and fried egg, the night before we had mac and cheese. I can't remember any further back than that 😂😂

Sausage chips and egg is God tier dinner!

Today: Fish cakes, salad.
Wednesday: Pork souvlaki, pitta, tzatziki, lemon and herby fried potatoes and salad.
