The Return of the Menu Plan - come and add your favourite quick dinners

[popsycal]

For some reason, I stopped menu planning and must get back into it.

I tend to categorise into:

• chicken
• veggie
• other meat
• pasta based
• from the freezer
• other

and try to balance it. Needs to be quick stuff in the week as I work and boys have an increasingnumber of after school commitments.

Would be very grateful if you could add you ssuggestions

wukter - I am sure that would be yum, you would obviously need to keep some aside to use as sauce and marinate the raw meat in the remainder. You def can't use leftover marinade thats had raw meat lurking in it as a sauce as the sauce isn't cooked, iykwim.

Abs - thanks. I have a local Waitrose! sorry you did mention in your earlier post, I now nitice. Doh.

Does she spice her mince do you know?

Hm, I think she just does onion, garlic and mince. But, I was thinking about this (as one who is a loser does) and I think it could work with more stuff in the mince, specifically I was contemplating adding pinenuts (for a Lebanese-y type feel).

mmmm nice. maybe some fresh coriander too?
