Meal planners

[lastqueenofscotland]

What have we got this week?

Today: pizza evening with my friend... I'm meant to be on a diet
Tomorrow: home made tapas - roast veg, patatas bravas, veggie paella
Sunday: veggie sausages with mash and veg
Monday: lentil and kale Dahl
Tuesday: red pepper and feta rolled in grilled aubergine
Wednesday: wholemeal pasta with veggie sausages and chilli tomato sauce
Thursday: lentil cottage pie with lots of veg

I've got to go to the butchers today to pick up our meat for next week (nothing posh tho, it's 3 packs for a tenner mix-and-match lol) and then I'll finish planning.

Tonight is chicken Pho with stock and chicken I cooked already, then last night I made a batch of meat sauce (red tomato pasta sauce flavoured with mince) as I had half a pack of mince to use up. Haven't decided if we'll have it tomorrow or if not I'll pop it in the freezer today... depends on the weather as I fancy a BBQ this weekend!

I'm trying out only eating fish and no other meat. We're out all weekend so starting Monday...

Mon - tortillas toasties filled with spiced butternut mash, halloumi, roast veg and aubergine pickle (a new invention last wee which was delicious) plus salad and corn on the cob.

Tues - white bean chilli (a fav Simon rimmer recipe) with rice

Weds - spicy tomato pasta with roasted veg

Thurs - cauliflower curry

Fri - fish and chips probably from the chippy (if not, the freezer!).

Lunches will be soups from the freezer. I think I've got spicy sweet corn and a celery and potato one that have been there for a while.

Mainly soup and ice lollies as dd has just got her tongue pierced!
I'll just bodge together bits and bobs for me until she can eat properly.

Monday: Mary berrys paprika pork recipe with roast potatoes and mixed veg

Tueaday: chicken Korma rice veg and popadums

Wednesday steak pie potatoes and mixed veg

Not sure on Thurs or Fri but Saturday we are going to an evening race meeting so will probably get something there.

Tonight is tandoori chicken with bombay potatoes and salad popadums and mango chutney

I'm at my parents all weekend so I dread to think...

Lentil Dahl and naan

Five spice beef and rice with steamed broccoli

Any ideas would be greatfully received

So far we've got:
Tomorrow - no idea
Monday - paneer masalla with rice and mango salad
Tues - veggie sausages, baked mushrooms, eggs and Staffordshire oatcakes
Weds - black pepper tofu with pak choi
Thurs - aloo gobhi with chapatis
Although I may well change my mind before I put the order through.

Did a meal plan yesterday

Spaghetti with crab and chilli and lemon (greedy girl's diet book)

Chilli in taco bowls (hairy dieters)

Chicken in lemon, honey and mustard sauce with sautéed potatoes (Gousto recipe)

Chicken fajitas (Gousto recipe again]

Lamb Rogan Josh

Saturday will probably be chips.

Bought it all today then the youngest announces she's going vegetarian...

We're having
Griddled tuna with bean salad
Chicken nuggets and waffles
Oxtail ragu
Nasi goreng
Seafood stew
Chicken Korma
Chunky veg pasta

Monday- roast chickpea salad and hollumi
Tuesday- roast veg chilli and rice
Wednesday- noodle stir fry
That's as far as I've got, lacking inspiration this week

Monday (today): Thai pineapple fried rice with cashews and lots of veg

Tuesday: tuna burgers with sriracha mayo & cress, garlic & paprika baked potato wedges

Wednesday: roasted red pepper risotto with spinach

...and that's as far as I've gotten!

Pumpkin - The pineapple rice sounds lovely. Any chance of a recipe?

Honestly I just wing it! Start by pre-cooking the rice, obviously lol. Then I chuck a bunch of veggies into the wok - usually spring onion, peppers, chillis, bean sprouts, cut up carrots, green beans (cut into 1/3rds)... maybe some bok choy if i find it reduced and splurge... baby corns etc

Fry on high heat for a couple of minutes, then toss in the rice, cut up pineapple and some cashew nuts, sesame oil and soy sauce, maybe a bit of sweet chili sauce as well (I just taste it and keep adjusting till it's right)

Finally garnish with some coriander and maybe sesame seeds or more spring onion.

Sounds lovely. Do you put the rice in when hot, or cool it down first?

Usually cooled off a bit, but that's just because I make it well in advance (DD eats dinner much earlier than DH and I)

Here's a photo of the finished product!

Thanks. Looks great.

Chicken with lemon and mustard sauce and herby sautéed potatoes.
