Would you contribute to a Meal Planner thread - New one each week?

[WannabeNigella]

A fellow mumsnetter just directed me to a brilliant thread on meal planning but it was quite lengthy. I wondered if anyone would consider contributing their meal plans each week on a new thread and if so, what day would be best to start it?

I get a lot of inspiration from meal planning threads and it has also helped me stay within budget for my shopping (well, most of the time ).

Would love to hear your thoughts.

i would :-D but you know that already!

I will just copy your ideas because I can't think of anything to cook for dinner. Is that OK?

Course it is Cool. That's what I did the first few times I was on a thread like this.

I'm thinking a Thursday might be a good day as most people tend to shop at weekend for week ahead and tend to plan their weekends food first. Although I could be well off the mark with that comment.

i'm usually planned a few weeks ahead but make some changes

maybe do it on a thursday for the week after so say today and call it 'meal plans w/c 18/04/2011

i like it when people link to the recipes too- i get great ideas from them

Thursday would be good for me, as we get our organic boxes on Weds eve and I tend to plan around that.

Please can I sit in that comfy seat in the corner and just keep an eye on what's going on? You could just pass me the odd cup of tea and tasting spoon everso often? I will behave myself.

MPing is one thing I have never done, but I'm convinced it will be benficial to me.

Chaos - care to taste a brownie? they are good!

would also like to see on meal plans any extras people do like baking etc. I make a cake once a week or twice if we've got visitors or i'm being greedy but i only ever bake choc cake, ginger cake or my latest fad is brownies.

come on then nigella, you going to start next weeks?

also do we do saturday to friday or monday to sunday?

my vote is monday to sunday

Done!

Storm, I bake ALL the time but only added to the meal plan I just submitted one cake as didn't think anyone would be interested but will add this in in future. Pretty much all I bake are chocolate cakes of one sort or another mind, as you will see from Sunday's offering on the meal plan
