Wednesday: veg soup for me, DD chooses on weds and it’s usually meat heavy!
Thursday: African Peanut Stew
Friday: usual pizza night, might suggest build your own for a change and get a veggie crust

I need to get out of a lunch rut, what’s on people’s lists this week? So far I have lentil soup, quesadillas, falafel wraps and usual marmite sandwiches

I lurk often on this thread, fishing for meal inspiration. I just made the African peanut stew from the recipe someone kindly shared and it’s delicious! I’ve only eaten about a fifth of it though, can it be frozen ok? I might get a bit sick of it if I have it for 5 meals in a row

Writing mine here as then I will be able to refer to it if I forget during the week!

Monday - pasta amatriciana
Tuesday - chicken tikka masala and samosas
Wednesday - fajitas
Thursday - ham and pepperoni pizzas and salad
Friday - burgers and chips (this has been on my meal plan for a couple of weeks, but we have had a substitute)
Saturday - DH is cooking (he doesn't know this yet)
Sunday - chicken, chorizo and prawn paella (with enough leftover for the next day as I am working late)

Lunches - we are working our way through Waitrose and M&S fresh soups! This one is by far my favourite, if you eat chicken.

@clare8allthepies the stew freezes really well!

Thank you!

Mine is

Mon - aubergine and chickpea stew
Tue - Buddha bowl with smoked tofu and sweet potato
Wed - Fry's 'chicken' with potatoes
Thu - lentil shepherd's pie
Fri - the rest of the shepherd's pie!

I admit to cheating - I have simply cook sauces/spices so it's pad Thai tonight, chicken korma tomorrow, spaghetti with pesto (jar) and mushrooms, west African peanut stew, spaghetti puttanesca (my recipe) and then I need to shop!

I haven't looked at, or posted on, this thread for ages and feel like I'm in a rut with cooking at the moment - especially on weekdays, so I really need to read through and get some inspiration.

Had roast lamb last night so using the leftovers in a curry tonight with lentils and spinach.
Tomorrow will be oven baked fish and chips/potato wedges with peas and broccoli
Wednesday - leftover Thai chicken from the freezer with either rice or baked potatoes depending on family preference.
Thurs - pasta & cheesy butternut squash bake
Fri - crispy gnocchi with squash and mushrooms.
Sat - no idea
Sun - roast chicken, Greek style.

Aaargh. Just went to the fridge for curry ingredients and noticed the peppers, courgettes, chicken and other bits I had bought for fajitas. I only had this conversation and went to the supermarket yesterday ffs. So that's fajitas tomorrow, fish on Wednesday and the Thai chicken will continue its frozen existence until next week.

Done mine for next week
Saturday: mixed bean salad with tortilla chips and dips
Sunday: west African peanut stew (not had it in at least a month!)
Monday: Cajun pasta
Tuesday: sweet n spicy veggie noodles
Wednesday: jerk sweet potato and black bean curry
Thursday: giant samosas
