I love reading other people's meal plans: please post yours for this week ...

[franch]

I don't plan a specific meal for each day unless there's a particular reason to (guests, busy evening, etc); I just write a list of meals for the week and decide which one I'm doing on the day/day before.

This week will involve:
home made pizzas
Cajun salmon
jacket potatoes
rack of lamb
tuna bake
Quorn meatballs & spaghetti

• all with veg, and rice/couscous/potatoes etc if needed

Please share your plan ......

I plan 4-5 days ahead - have to shop on foot and can't carry too much.

This week we have:

chicken and vegetable pie with mash and peas

jacket potatoes with tuna (me) or cheese (DD, DH) with salad and appley coleslaw.

Vegetable chilli in tortilla wraps with avocado and corn on the cob - DD's portion of chilli to be removed before DH starts flinging in the scotch bonnet chillies! (nearly forgot last time we had it )

mushroom and pea risotto

DH working late one night - poached egg and green beans with toast fingers (DD), pizza and salad when DH eventually gets in (adults)

Righto I thought I would add my week's offerings:
Tonight- slow cooker shin of beef
Mon- Pastabake
Tues- nigella's lamb cutlets
Wed- aunt maggie's balsamic pork
Thurs- jamie's Asian salmon
Fri- chicken korma

Monday - cold chicken (from roast today) with new potatoes and salad

Tuesday - penne with tom, bacon, mushroom sauce

Wednesday - pork and apple "cakes" with mash or rice

Thursday - (vegetarian night) cous-cous with golden root vegetable stew

Friday - (fish night) don't know quite which variety yet (buy fresh on day)

Saturday - soup and crackers

Sunday - some sort of roast

turkey curry
pizza
spaghetti carbonara
pasta/sausages/tomato sauce
meatballs and chips
sausage/eggs/chips/beans

not very healthy week this week.

McTroll - dry your eyes!

my "veggie" and "fish nights" can be translated as "beans on toast" and "fish fingers" when I'm pushed. Just happens to be a good week this week!! Not always so on top of it.

Like TabithaTwitchet, I shop on foot so only do a few days at a time. Tonight we've got prawn curry and rice (DS has kick-boxing so he's having chicken hoisin wraps now with leftover chicken from the weekend). Tomorrow is a healthy version of fish & chips with homemade tartare sauce, and Weds is duck stir-fry with noodles. That's as far as I've got as we get our organic boxes on Weds night and the contents tend to dictate what we eat for the next few days!

Tonight was meatballs and pasta.

Tomorrow - chicken casserole with rice.

Weds - Gammon steaks and chips

Thurs - Slow-cooked minted lamb, mash and peas

Fri - Chicken and bacon pasta bake.

I don't plan meals for weekends as we are rarely all here at the same time.

Currently on the fridge is a meal plan for the next FOUR weeks!

i am ridiculously short of cash this week so have been v frugal with shopping, which means some of this weeks meals are going to be cheap and cheerful /using up stuff in the freezer, so not that healthy, but filling anyway

today is oven baked meatballs with rice
tomorrow is fish fingers with mash and peas
thurs is spinach and bacon pasta
friday is ham egg and homemade chips
saturday is sausage casserole

Kind of making it up as I go along this week but something like htis -

yesterday - sole goujons, chips and salad

Today - mediteranean veg pasta

Weds - Sausages in something(probably red wine) and rice

Thursday - turkey (if there's some left in the freezer) risotto

Friday - Curry (homemade but from freezer - hurrah)

Saturday - don't know

Sunday - don't know. Maybe a roast.

Sun-roast lamb(roasted squash,broccoli,carrots)
Mon-lamb curry(green beans and poppadoms)
Tues- jackets with rocket,avocado and almonds
Wed-veggie lasagna and rocket
Thursday-sausage casserole(peas,potatoes and green beans)
Fri-pasta(prob tomato,lardons or garlic,o oil and parmesan)
Sat-not sure

Franch - how do you make quorn meatballs?

Thanks all - I forgot to watch this thread so have only just rediscovered it! Will be back to request recipes soon :)

Grockle: Quorn meatballs

MyMamaToldMe: what do you put in your tuna rice?

OK this week for me involves:

Quorn bolognese
Tuna burgers
Jacket potatoes
Lamb curry
Pesto pasta
Salmon fingers
Roast chicken

Yesterday was chicken katsu with sticky rice
Today is burgers and salad in buns
Tomorrow is toad in the hole
Friday is chicken stir fry with noodles
Saturday is shepherds pie
Sunday is ds2's birthday so he will pick the meal
Monday is chicken and prawn curry

Do you have a recipe for chicken katsu lou33?

I need major inspiration, and am loving this thread!

This week we had:

Pork Wellington, roasties and veg
Rosti plus egg and bacon
Irish Stew
Caribbean pork with rice and peas
Sausages jacket and leeks
Tonight???? NO IDEA!

Monday: Mum's night off: eat at gym or McDonalds. YAY!!! I love Mondays.
Tuesday: roast wild salmon marinated in soy sauce, five spice and honey served with noodles (with lots of spring onions, courgette strips, red peppers and sweetcorn cooked in with them)
Wednesday: chicken or bean fajitas with guacamole, tomato salsa and sour cream.
Thursday: roast chicken, roast potatoes/parsnips, bread sauce, gravy, ratatouille and cauliflower cheese (I am veggie so eat the cauli cheese), rhubarb crumble.
Friday: Home made veg curry, dahl and saffron rice.
Saturday: Buffalo burgers and trimmings
Sunday: haven't thought yet - may buy something in the market tomorrow. May try to convince someone else to cook.

franch, funnily enough i actually found a katsu curry kit in morrisons! It comes with the rice and the sauce and the panko breadcrumbs, so all you need to do is coat the chicken with the crumbs, cook the sticky rice and heat the sauce

my kids love going to wagamamas for their chicken katsu, and this tasted just as good

one box served my 4 kids

lightbulbs - I love the sound of buffalo burgers - is it special meat, or is there a special trick/ingredient to those??

Today is sausage casserole followed by creme brulee
Tomorrow is leg of lamb roast

Not sure from then on

Cod with lemon and bay leaves with cous cous and veg

Chicken with peppers and sour cream with rice or cauliflower for the rice phobes!

Butternut squash and chickpea curry with spinach

Ginger salmon with chinese vegetables and noodles

Macaroni cheese with caulflower and brocolli

Dont plan for fridays...will probably be steak or mussels and crusty bread, plus the inevitable vat of wine!

I'm the only veggie in the family, so our weekly plan is always a mix of veggie days and days with a veggie choice and a meat/fish choice, usually with matching accompaniments

Sunday Cottage Pie (Mushroom Pasta)
Monday Melanzanne Alla Parmigiana
Tuesday Chicken & Mushroom Pie, Mash & Veg (Quorn Fillet)
Wednesday Spinach & Cottage Cheese Cannelloni
Thursday Tuna Pasta Bake (Quorn Bolognese Bake)
Friday Not sure yet

Monday: lazy chicken curry with Patak's jar sauce, basmati rice
Tuesday: tabbouleh salad with little gem, pine nuts and grilled halloumi
Wednesday: bolognese
Thursday: lamb rogan josh from my ancient Madhur Jaffrey book - not cooked it before but looks straightforward. Excited about whizzing spices in blender
Friday: something very low-effort, poss boiled eggs and soldiers
Sat: Jamie 30 min spinach and feta pie, green salad
Sun: going away for the whole day, back late, will forage in fridge
