salad nicoise/halloumi salad as I'm veggie
black bean chili
might try and have a barbie at some point in the week if the weather stays good.

Not sure of the order but we have got:

Leek and cheese quiche (homemade but I have cheated and ordered the pastry from Sainsbo's as it's a busy week at work) with hassleback potatoes and vege;
Thai vege and tofu curry and rice;
Spring vege risotto - asparagus, peas, artichokes, wine, parmesan, leeks etc with rocket salad;
Pasta of some sort - maybe penne Arabiatta;
Baked potatoes and veggie sausage casserole.

Today:
lasagne and veggies / rhubarb fool

Then, in no particular order:

(1) Spicy chicken wraps
(2) Paella
(3) Take away - probably a curry
(4) Shepards Pie
(5) Soup and sandwiches

Possibly meatballs every night. I went to investigate the freezer and there are 5 packs in there obv bought when they were all on special.

We have to turn the freezer off next weekend as we're having major electrical work done and it will take 2 days.

Can't bear to waste them!

Sat - homemade Pizzas
Sun - Roast Chicken
Mon - Cold Chicken with rice

Then 'freezer' food. I have Gammon, mince, sausages plus other odds and sods.

In the fridge - I have salad bits, cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and peppers.

I'm screwed because we have come home from a weekend away & the chest freezer in the garage has been unplugged so everything is a soggy mess & I batch cook

Off the top f my head, a new shopping list & some inspiration from this thread:

Meatballs & pasta
spag bol
mustard chicken with spinach & smashed new potatoes.
potatoe dolphs, spinach, toms & chicken.
Enchiladas.
One pan chicken with crispy pots
Roast chicken & all the other stuff.

storm you can slow cook your joint or chop it up & use it in a stew.

In no particular order...

Roast chicken and all the trimmings
Spicy prawn pasta
Chicken and thyme risotto
Tuna and mixed bean salad
Chicken wrapped in Parma ham, new pots, salad

Monday - Prawn & pea korma with basmati rice for me & DP, DS having halloumi, couscous & salad early as he has kick-boxing tonight.
Tuesday - Cottage pie with spinach
Wednesday - Tuna & tomato rice with whatever green veg turns up in the box that evening
The rest of the week will depend on what else is in the box.

In no particular order
Jamie's pregnancy pasta
Tortilla bake
Rogan Josh turkey curry
Pork chops with roasties and veg

We're moving out of our house due to builder chaos. Staying at a friend's while she's away, so very constrained, though as much by laziness as anything
