Weekly meal plan

[LadyPrigsbottom]

I'm planning meals in advance a bit more, as it helps me stay on top of things, diet-wise and just feeling more organised in the week. Also means fewer trips to the supermarket.

I wondered if anyone would like to share weekly meal plans on here? I'd love to see what others are planning as I'm always looking for ideas.

Here is mine for next week:

Mon: chicken curry, rice and naan
Tue: chickpeas with dates & almonds, with couscous
Wed: gammon in cider with honey and mustard, jacket potatoes and salad
Thu: spicy peanut tofu, spinach and rice
Fri: pasta bake with meatballs

May I join in?
I don't have a meal plan yet! Depends what comes in my shop today 🙈 but I need to get back into a routine!

Yes of course! The more the merrier .

I did a big batch cook so our meal plan will mostly be using those.
Sunday: Chicken Curry
Monday: Chicken and Chorizo pasta
Tuesday: Beef Chilli
Wednesday: macaroni cheese
Thursday: bolognese
Friday: tuna fish cakes
Saturday: veg tagine

Today we are having pulled pork with carrot chips and salad

Mon: fish chips and peas
Tues: chicken kebabs pitta and salad
Weds: sausage egg beans mushrooms tomatoes and toast
Thurs: burger and chips
Fri: Pizza pasta bake and veg sticks.

I’m following slimming world so all done on plan for that except the fish.

Thanks for these!

Should have said:

Sunday (today): roast dinner
Next Saturday: whatever we don't have on the Friday!

That's the full week. You can tell I'm out of practice .

Today:
Pork fillet with mushrooms, tarragon, cider and cream with veg and roasties
Mon: burgers, chips, salad
Tue: barbecue bits, cous cous and salad
Weds: chicken thighs, parmentier type potatoes and salad
Thurs: spag bol
Fri: salmon fillets, pasta with pesto, asparagus.

Great thread!

For us:

Monday: jackets with fillings and salads
Tuesday: 7 veg bolognese
Wednesday: chicken cacciatore
Thursday: sticky chilli chicken and rice
Friday: burgers with home made chips and corn on the cob
Saturday: home made curry with all the trimmings
Sunday: roast beef lunch

Still need to shop for all the above!

I keep meaning to join one of these threads.

Today: roasted tomato, spaghetti ans burrata (avocado if ripe but not holding much hope).
Monday: jacket potatoes with tuna and broccoli
Tuesday: roasted cauliflower with pilaf
Wednesday: quiche with salad
Thursday: baked chicken with new potatoes
Friday: takeout
Saturday - TBD

I might swap quiche and potato day as think salad needs to be used up sooner.

Great thread!

Thanks ! I saw something similar on here ages ago and it was so useful for ideas. Have to remember to pop back on next week before we do the food shop and harvest meal ideas!

@thisstooshallpass - I've never really mastered Gnocchi. Do you buy it premade? And what's the difference between baking it and boiling it? I like the idea of trying it again but I can't work out if I just cook it badly or don't like gnocchi because it never really works out for me!

I attempted to make it myself once but I ended up with a pan of watery mashed potato.

I buy the the packets now, just the plain stuff. I like how it crisps up when baked.

Yesterday should’ve been chicken roast dinner, but the chicken was off so last night we had the chilli, nachos and guacamole that was meant for tonight.

Today - toad in the hole with the veg that should’ve been used yesterday.

Not decided what days we’re having what yet and need to go shopping soon but the rest of the week we have stuff for:
Leek, courgette and mozzarella quiche.
Fish pie.
Roasted vegetable risotto.
Halloumi something, either skewers or pasta probably.

I’m usually much more organised than this but have just returned to work (albeit from home) and my meal planning has gone to shit.

Clearing out the fridge and trying to keep up my lockdown mantra of wasting less, so this week we’re having:
Courgette and black bean tacos
Saag aloo
Butternut squash and broccoli sticky rice w cashews
‘Freezer roulette’ meal
And maybe homemade pizza (if I can be bothered to make the dough ahead of dinner time!)

Tomorrow we are starting the week off with a slow cooked beef joint, veg and yorks And rice pudding.
Mon: jackets beans tuna and salad
Tues: SlimmingWorld fry up
Weds: pizza and veg sticks
Thu: sausage casserole and a loaf of bread to dunk
Fri: burgers in buns and carrot chips
Sat: properly a chinese

Today : H/made cheese and broccoli quiche, cous cous and salad
Sunday : Roast dinner with whatever veg we have in (def some carrot and swede in there)
Monday: Ratatouie (corgettes on off in lidl so going to do a big batch)
Tuesday: Pizza wedges and salad
Wednesday: Dal Makhani( fasty lentil and kidney bean curry)
Thursday: Something beige out of the freezer it's a bit full in there
Friday: Veggie burgers and salad
Life is so much easier when I can be arsed to do a meal plan

Uuugh it's a TASTY curry not fasty

Yum! All of these sound lovely.

I've just been doing a little stock take, before I start planning for the week!

Here are my last two - I basically went through the fridge, freezer and cupboards and then planned around them. I know it’s not fancy but it seriously relieves the pressure

Such a good idea. Sorry, zero input here at the moment, until I get myself organised. I need to do a fridge and larder audit! I keep meaning to do weekly meal plans. I threw out some leftover roast gammon yesterday from the weekend and then realised if I'd been smart it could have made a carbonara with it :-(

Sunday: roast dinner / BBQ / something else - not sure yet!
Monday: sweet and sour tofu & egg fried rice
Tuesday: homemade cheese and broccoli quiche
Wednesday: naice hotdogs (fancy chicken and apricot sausages in baguette)
Thursday: creamy chicken, bean and leek traybake, with bread for dipping
Friday: 'make your own' pizza
Saturday: homemade chicken dippers with air fried potatoes and salad
