May Meal Planning

[ArtyFartyQueen]

Morning all!

Wondering what your meal plans are this week?

Looking for inspiration before I head to the shops this afternoon 😬

these are just dinners.

monday - corned beef fritters (recipe here) with potatoes and broccoli
tuesday - lord woolton pie
wednesday - sausages and mashed potato with peas
thursday - meatloaf with asparagus and some sweet potato wedges
friday - summer pasta
saturday - takeout
sunday - bagel pizza

There’s a few page long meal planning thread slightly further down this page with loads of various plans

This week was
Saturday: Bolognese with mushroom and lentil “mince”
Sunday: vegan hotpot with parsnip, carrot and pearl barley
Monday: jerk tofu with rice and peas
Tuesday: Singapore noodles
Wednesday: shiitake risotto
Thursday: bean and sweet potato burger and chips (all home made)

Not too sure which order they’ll be in but this is what we’re having this week:

Sausage & Chips
Vegetarian Fajitas
Pizza
Lamb Roast Dinner
Sticky Beef Buritos
Iranian Veg Stew
Possibly takeaway but more likely store cupboard delight.

Ah just remembered we have Bass Fillets so the store cupboard delights will probably be posh fish finger sarnies.

So far this week I have planned. Probably will have halloumi fajitas at some point too, before we go shopping again. Vegetarian chilli
Peanut noodle stir fry
Paneer tikka skewers
Asparagus and pea risotto
Moroccan cauliflower salad

Tonight was sourdough pizza on the bbq

Tomorrow is Turkey mince boats with rice and salsa and guacamole

Wednesday is The One Takeaway Of Lockdown for the boys as it’s our 20th wedding anniversary so Dh is cooking a feast.

Thursday is Broccoli Pesto pasta

Friday is pulled pork, veggie burgers or scampi with chips and salad

Saturday will be a prawn curry with vegetable samosas

Sunday DanDan noodles

Tomorrow - Meatball marinara subs & salad
Wednesday - gammon, baby new potatoes, lots of veg
Thursday - salmon, scallops & peeled prawns with risotto verdi
Friday - treat night so pizza from the local restaurant (some are open for home delivery)
Saturday - sticky pork steaks, twice baked jacket potatoes, tender stem broccoli and asparagus
Sunday - Spanish chicken casserole

We've got most of the stuff in already so just a few bits to pick up that the supermarkets have had in so far.

@lastqueenofscotland love the sound of shiitake risotto and also risotto verdi @iklboo do either of you have recipes to hand?
