Am meal planning for the week ahead and only shop once a week (have had click and collect for 3 weeks fro Sainsburys). Have also had delivery from local butcher and put stuff in the freezer. I check my order list against my meal planner and have found that we are eating much healthier and zero waste. Here is my plan:

Yesterday Roast chicken (butcher delivered)
roast potatoes, cabbage and carrots
Today Cold roast chicken, mixed salad, coleslaw, carrot salad
Wed Oven fish, peas, oven chips
Thurs Ham (butcher delivered), salad, new potatoes, coleslaw
Fri Thai green chicken curry, sticky rice
Sat Duck breast, orange and red wine sauce, peas, new potatoes
and asparagus from the garden
Sun Lasagne and salad
Mon Chicken and veg stir fry, egg noodles
Tues Salmon, new potatoes, asparagus, hollandaise sauce

Mominatrix · 12/05/2020 10:30

Today: hot roast beef sandwiches (leftover Sunday roast)/ salmon tacos with mango salsa

W: mushroom soup with crusty bread/veggie korma

Th: fresh pretzel with dips and nibble bits/pork tenderloin in mustard cream sauce with steamed kale

F: Salad compose with whatever veg and pulses I feel like chucking In/ rigatoni with vodka sauce

Sat: pepperoni pizzas and salad/ braised beef short rib with polenta

Sun: baked eggs with toast dippers/ toad in the hole, peas, red onion gravy

M: grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup/ Smoked haddock kedgeree

@lastqueenofscotland ooh I've tried to make vegan spanakopita on several occasions but never got it 100%. The best time was with pressed silken tofu (in place of feta) and plenty of salt and olive oil. Tried using soaked chia seeds once in place of egg but was disastrous... do you have a recipe?

lastqueenofscotland · 14/05/2020 20:36

I’m using the lazy cat kitchen one as i find her recipes good full stop... we’ll see if it’s a disaster
