Nasi goreng with quorn chicken and omelet strips. You can make your own kecap mania from soy and brown sugar. www.recipetineats.com/nasi-goreng-indonesian-fried-rice/

Uhhh Black sesame tofu and salt and chilli chips for Saturday fakeaway. We forgot the edamame beans.

Chilli from freezer with Mexican rice (pre cooked rice fried and seasoned with homemade taco seasoning, tomato puree etc)

Uhhhhh this made with small amount of quorn mince and peppers added and oregano.. Served with homemade sourdough garlic toasties www-bbcgoodfood-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/tomato-basil-sauce?amp_js_v=a3&amp_gsa=1&amp&usqp=mq331AQIKAGwASDIAQE%3D#aoh=15901765091502&amp_ct=1590176515897&csi=1&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbcgoodfood.com%2Frecipes%2Ftomato-basil-sauce

This yellow dish, I don't know what I did but it turned out like stoup so I had added coconut milk to the leftovers so this was dragged from the freezer. I'll get the recipe....

Myshitisreal · 15/06/2020 03:41

Can't find the recipe but it's a Jamie.. Sag aloo using potatoes and carrots (instead of cauliflower) and added chickpeas and lentils. It really tasty, hope I can replicate the error. I think it was from ministry of food.

A curry from the freezer with ginger lemon and Turmeric rice 🤤. U think it was a kerala curry. There's maybe 6 or 7 types in there from different batches.

Tonight I've been unwell so had small mug of soup with toast to dip, and treated my husband to a Chinese takeout as he's been working all weekend.

On our planner this week is sourdough pizza (sat fakeaway) , champ with veg, gravy and some veggie meat, we'll have champ 3 nights later as it makes sense to cook twice. I'll make leftovers into potato bread and freeze. Thai veggie fried rice I think. Maybe veggie burgers and chips Sunday to space the potato eating out.

IJumpedAboardAPirateShip · 15/06/2020 03:57

Some great ideas here. This week we had:

Love seeing everyone's meals! So helpful for inspiration!

In the last week or so we've had

Cajun chicken breasts roasted with aubergine, courgette, peppers and mushrooms tossed in Cajun spices.

Chicken gyros - chicken thigh fillets marinated in yoghurt, lemon, garlic, oregano and olive oil then bbq'd - sliced thinly and then stuffed into flatbreads with homemade tzatiki, beef tomatoes and red onion.

Soy and ginger salmon fillets with stir fried veggies and rice noodles

Poached eggs, baked beans and potato waffles. Love this dinner - used to have it as a child and makes me feel all warm and comfortable! Usually our post swimming lesson meal but nice and simple for when we've had a busy day now too!

Homemade houmous, salami, cheese, pickles and veggie antipasti with bread and chutneys (and plenty of red wine) - currently our Friday night favourite 'dinner' So easy and feels like a treat.

Breaded fish fillets, broccoli, corn and French fries

GetRid · 17/06/2020 23:33

We've had, over past week:

Crispy sesame chicken (a sort of homemade Chinese takeaway)

Frittata and French fries

Seabass fillets with ginger, garlic, chilli etc

I've got chicken Caesar salad ingredients for tomorrow

thisstooshallpass · 18/06/2020 19:15

Just made a meal plan ready for the weekly shop tomorrow. All at Lidl, as usual, with a little heist at my local Asian greengrocer.

Lamb and feta burgers with mint chutney
Brisket (Sunday)
Asian crispy beef and noodles (with leftover brisket)
Mushroom stroganoff
Salmon fish cakes, with a bean, pea, chilli and mint salad
Chicken and blackbean chowder chowder

Lunches - panzanella, feta toast with minty broad beans, pan con tomate on sourdough (Millie Taylor has made it go viral this week!) although I don't have fashionable IOW tomatoes!

Weekend breakfasts
Smoked salmon and eggs (it's our 10th wedding anniversary!)
Superscotch Woodcock....it's a thing who knew!

Most of my inspiration comes from Jamie Oliver's website.
