@IJumpedAboardAPirateShip can I eat at yours this week, your menu sounds amazing. How do you make celeriac miso soup?

@inthekitchensink your food sounds amazing, should we just swap?!

The soup is from the new HFW veg book - recipe attached!

Tonight: shop bought pizzas
Tues: salmon fillets, new potatoes, asparagus, roast cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn for those who are fussier about veg.
Weds: Pork tenderloin wrapped in Parma ham, rhubarb relish, green beans, fettuccine, baked fennel with parmesan for those who will eat it. Probably some carrots. A bit of a mish mash
Thurs: pasta, with tomato, bacon, spinach and mascarpone sauce
Fri: Sausages, potatoes, whatever veg comes

I have done very badly on having any meat free nights! And spent a fortune at the supermarket, but it has just been payday 😭

tonight: chickpea, spinach and potato curry
Tomorrow: roasted carrot risotto
Wednesday: curried vegetable pasties
Thursday: vegan pasta Alfredo
Friday: shroomdogs with mash peas and gravy

Today- chickpeas and apricot tagine with cous cous
Tuesday- chicken soup
Wednesday- bacon lettuce and blue cheese salad
Thursday- groundnut stew and rice
Friday- beetroot burgers, sweet potato fries and relish

Tonight: tagine
Tomorrow: clear out the fridge before going away, I have sweet potatoes, tofu and broccoli to use up!
Wednesday: on a multi family glamping trip, hot dogs on the BBQ
Thursday: potluck so I think there is various chillis, pasta, salads but realistically wine and marshmallow!
Friday: the campsite has a bbq night but there prob be anything I can eat so I’m taking my instapot and making a vat of veggie soup
Saturday: pizza night

We've just moved into our first house and I'm trying to meal plan! This week:

Monday: beef mince enchiladas with nachos
Tuesday: chicken curry, roasted cauliflower, onion bhaji and paratha (plus rice for himself)
Wednesday: pea and ham pasta with garlic bread
Thursday: chicken burgers, roasted new potatoes and salad
Friday: steak, sweet potato chips, tenderstem broccoli, onion rings and peppercorn sauce
Saturday: sough dough pizzas using new pizza oven
Sunday: not decided...maybe takeaway, either Chinese or Turkish

Just done next week's

• Roast chicken with potato & asparagus
• Lamb shoulder in slow cooker, flatbread, various salad
• Lamb revisited with orzo & tomato sauce
• Chicken revisited as Korma incl random fridge/freezer veg & rice
• Fish goujons, chips, salad
• Spag bol (veggie version)
• End Of Term Takeaway Woohoo (Scottish schools finish next Thurs!)

Thus the summer holidays are in sight and it's meant to be eating at the outside table every night. Instead we have had heating on a couple of hrs this week and nothing above 15 degrees for the last month!

This week is a bit meh as I’m out so much
Monday: beetroot hummus, pita bread and salad
Tuesday: lentil and mushroom fajitas

This week we have had/planned:

Monday - pancetta wrapped cod with puy lentils and spinach
Tuesday - burmese chicken with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and rice
Wednesday - char sui tofu in lettuce cups with rice
Thursday - Indomesian fried rice with pork
Friday - dhal and rice

Then we are away from saturday for a week

This weekend is a bit of a “fuck knows” situation...
Sunday: stirfry of some description
Monday: veggie sausage and bean stew and mash
Tuesday: Penang tofu and rice
Wednesday: spicy roast squash with nuts
Thursday: spinach and garlic pasta

@lastqueenofscotland - do you have a penang tofu recipe please? That sounds lovely.

Hey guys,
I’m writing the dissertation for my masters at the moment. Im doing a survey regarding consumer behaviour towards plant- based meat and dairy replacements. It takes only 3 minutes and is completely anonymous. Would appreciate it so much if some of you could take part

Much love,

Ugh out of our house for renovation reasons and really trying not to eat out:

Sunday: going to a friends house
Monday: pasta pesto
Tuesday: need a clever idea that requires minimal cooking with minimal store cupboard ingredients as still not home. Maybe build your own salad bar or pizza? Or fuck it maybe we’ll just eat out
Wednesday: I’m out, prob ham and cheese omelette for everyone else
Thursday: at universal studios so if we’re still their late I intend to take enough sandwiches and snacks and salad the kids can have something in the car on the way home. If we bail early I reckon a veggie soup in the instapot is calling
Friday: curry! Not sure what yet but photocopied some recipes out of Indian Summer so one or two of those
Saturday: I’m already over meal planning, might get DH to cook.

Ooh, can I join? I've been meal planning for years and love looking at others for inspiration. Here's ours for two adults (one pregnant), one guest for a couple of days, and a toddler (began Friday):
S: Quesadillas
S: Sausages and veg, picnic for lunch
M: asparagus, new potatoes and halloumi (out of the Hugh F-W three good things book)
T: Monday leftovers
W: puff pastry pizza
T: aubergines, tomato and chickpea bake (3 good things book)

@Stravapalava
I use this www.cauldronfoods.co.uk/recipes/vegan-tofu-panang-curry works brilliant

This week:

Monday: salmon, sweetcorn and roasted new potatoes (himself made his own, I worked late)
Tuesday: sweet chilli chicken thighs (from Costco) and a big salad
Wednesday: Costco pizza with potato salad
Thursday: sausage meat lasagne
Friday: I'm out for a work do
Not sure about the weekend..

Where are you all? I need some inspiration

Monday - salmon pasta and salad
Tuesday - MIL makes dinner as she has kids after school
Wednesday - quorn nuggets, chips and salad
Thursday - chicken and vegetable curry and rice
Friday - we are going away so will take sandwiches and snacks for the car

First draft ;)

Monday: spaghetti carbonara for the fam (I’m going out for vegan sushi)
Tuesday:
Wednesday: red lentil pasta for D.C. we have friends coming for dinner so I think I’m going to do a rhubarb gazpacho, herb and pistachio falafel with fattoush and grilled cauliflower with orange, dates and tahini, then almond cake and poached peaches - all out of HFW Much More Veg book and the Thug Kitchen cookbook
Thurs: BBQ - beyond sausages and buns, grilled onions, corn on the Cobb, wedges and a simple salad. Going to do either warm cookies or brownies for pud with ice cream
Fri: kids have junk from the freezer, going back to HFW much more veg to trial some recipes in advance of future dinner parties. Think I’ll do the squash and chickpea patties with a roast Greek salad

All subject to change!

Tonight: tofu, pea and cashew curry
Tomorrow: lentil shepherds pie and green veg
Wednesday: falafel salad
Thursday: lentil Bolognese

Mine is very quick and easy and boring this week

Tomorrow: asda counter pizzas
Saturday: nachos
Sunday: gnocci bake
Monday: Thai green curry
Tuesday: pasta with pesto and green veg
Wednesday: pepper and bean burrito
Thursday: bean burgers

God that looks stodgy all written down

I’m forever sneaking inspiration off these threads so feel like I ought to contribute, though it’s not very exciting.

I haven’t allocated days yet:

Sausage paella (Co-Op recipe)
Chicken Caesar salad with new potatoes
Gyoza and fried rice
Omelette and chips
Tortellini soup - www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/creamy-tomato-tortellini-soup/

I’m away two nights so DD and DH will have to fend for themselves. Neither cooks (DD can make an omelette so I’ve skewered that unfortunately) so it’ll no doubt be a pizza one night and something and chips the other (meaning ‘my’ omelette and chips needs to be later in the week).

Mine for this week
Palak Chana with rice
Tomorrow: gnocci with roast pepper pesto, tenderstem and garlic bread.
Sunday: chippy
Monday: jerk tofu, rice and peas
Tuesday: Thai spiced stir fry
Wednesday: cous cous salad of some description
Thursday: dhal with Garam masala roast new potatoes
