Just done a small order to keep us going until the weekend. Am so, so bored of thinking about food and who will eat what etc. It's feeling like hard work at the moment.

Tuesday: Thai veggie curry with crispy tofu
Wednesday: beef stew for the carnivores, with sweet potato mash and savoy cabbage. Something veggie from the freezer for me, with the mash and vege.
Thursday: falafel, flatbread, Greek salad
Friday: out
Saturday: omelettes with individual fillings of choice, bread, salad
No idea after that.

What is Greek potato hash?

Not done my plan yet, I'm currently surviving on horrid meal replacement drinks for tummy issues so it's a bit depressing planning lovely food I can't eat, I do still love cooking for Dd though, and her bf has enjoyed my meals too.

Sat: Falafel pitas with salad and coleslaw
Sun: not had a roast for ages so maybe Roast Chicken with low carb trimmings
Mon: with any leftover chicken from yesterday, probably BBQ pulled chicken with corn on the cob
Tue: Thai red curry with cauli rice
Wed: mozzarella burgers

Need some more ideas for the rest of the week. I'd like to do something veggie but low carb. It's still hot here so nothing stew-y if anyone has any ideas?
