Have started back at work this week after mat leave with DC1. In trying to be organised I thought doing a menu for the week would help - then I would not have to think about what to cook for tea each night, and would do appropriate shoping at the weekend. But I'm totaly stuck in rut with what we eat and could do with some new ideas. I am veggy and DH isn't so trying to find stuff that is easy to do meet and veggy versions and quick to cook as usually don't manage to cook until after DS is in bed, by which time I'm REALLY hungry! I give DS tea after collecting him from the childminder so he generally has what ever we had the night before

In the interests of sharing, my menu for this week is:

Mon: Cottage pie/veggie cottage pie (cooked on Sunday ready for re-heating)
Tue: Beansprout stir fry and noodles with chicken for DH, cashew nuts for me
Wed: Green veg rissoto with bacon for DH and aduki beans for me
Thur: Cous cous and roasted veg with beef strips for DH and homous for me (cooked on Wed ready for re-heating - I have Wed off work)
Fri: Salad, new potatos and Salmon/veg sausages

Mon - Slow cooker stew and mashed potatos and veg
Tues - Tuna bake (using left over mash and tinned tuna) and some veg
Weds - Pasta and tomato sauce with whatever veg is lurking in the fridge
Thurs - Baked potatoes (every Thurs is always the same)
Fri - Chicken soup, roast chicken rice and some veg

I also do:
chili con carne
shepherd's pie
spag bol
left over slow cooker stew with pastry on top aka meat pie
grilled salmon and new pots
home made teriyaki salmon with egg noodles based on a ready steady cook recipe
Stirfry (dh's option when I'm refusing to cook)
lentil dahl and rice (done in slow cooker in huge batches and half frozen)
Lentil/vegetable soup and bread
Scrambled eggs and toast
Spanish tortilla
Vegetable tagine and couscous

Make a list of your meals and then you can just rotate. I used to do it on google spreadsheets which is much easier to cut and paste but current nanny has no gmail a/c and prefers paper.
