We're not having that whole list tonight - just jacket potatoes!

AtleastitsnotMonday · 14/07/2021 19:59

Here if you have a roast for lunch it’s cheese and crackers, bread and ... (accompaniment of choice), some times I will extend to putting said bread in toaster or sandwich toaster, crudités with dips and toasted pita, crumpets etc etc.

However, having not had a roast for lunch it’s sticky mango cod, salad and apple slaw here tonight.

Does anyone think having a weekly timetable/meal planner help me? It's a family of 4 with 1 adult and 3 kids very fussy. Make my life miserable 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

If a timetable will help, has anyone got their food table/food planner to share with me 🙏 , please? Thanks

What foods do they not like?

My meal plan for each day this week is:
Courgette pasta
Irish boiled ham and cabbage (much nicer than it sounds)
Ramen soup/ noodles using leftover ham
Falafel and houmous with couscous
Chilli con carne with rice
Chilli con carne with wraps and salsa (I sometimes have nachos too)
Home made pizza to use what's left in the fridge

It's just me and my daughter so we might have more leftovers than a big family!

HTH

You're welcome. I learnt by being nosey and asking different people. I grew up not English and eating strange food so I had an obsession with what was "normal".
Luckily now we have the internet, I'm also watching this post like a hawk

Cakey46 · 17/07/2021 18:21

Here's my list for the week;
Boiled gammon and cauliflower cheese
Chicken fajita pasta (really delish but easy. Just a googled recipe)
Sausage casserole (packet mix) baked potato and broccoli.
Meat koftas in pittas with humous and salad
Chicken curry X 2 (hoping there will be leftovers)
TAKE AWAY!!!!!!!

Turkey bolognaise tonight, left over from last night!

BunnyRuddington · 17/07/2021 20:01

What did you decide on in the end @Somebodyimportant1 and have you tried a plan yet? Smile

LonstantonSpiceMuseum · 17/07/2021 20:46

@Cakey46 I might punch some of these, I need more "spicy but not a curry" ideas 😛

LonstantonSpiceMuseum · 17/07/2021 20:46

Pinch not punch 🤦‍♀️

Somebodyimportant1 · 17/07/2021 21:14

I think that if they've had a Roast that was a perfectly acceptable supper Smile

Pasta & Bolognese sounds good as well.

Our sort of plan has gone out of the window today as I'd planned a BBQ fir lunch but DH is now isolating and I'd probably blow myself and the BBQ up Grin

So burgers and salad cooked inside it is.

Supper here is a bowl of cereal if you are still hungry after your tea (Northern)

Supper here is a bowl of cereal if you are still hungry after your tea (Northern).

I started going to a baby group after I had DC1 and was really confused when they arranged a "Supper Evening", so like what? You all have your tea and then meet up and have a round of toast if you're still hungry? Grin

Mac and Cheese
Lasagne with garlic bread & salad
Homemade beef burgers with chips

AtleastitsnotMonday could I have your recipe for sticky mango cod please? It sounds lovely!

AtleastitsnotMonday · 19/07/2021 19:02

It’s v simple, and a bit of a cheat to be honest. I marinate cod fillets in a fat free yoghurt mixed with whatever curry paste I have about (homemade/shop bought whichever). Place fish on baking tray, about 5 minutes from cooked I take it from the oven, spread with mango chutney and finish under the grill. It’s v quick and easy and delicious.

JamMakingWannaBe · 19/07/2021 19:23

My new favourite recipe:

  1. Line large oven dish with chrizo sausage / pepperoni
  2. Top with frozen white fish
  3. Mix v large teaspoon dijon and v large teaspoon English mustard into a pot of double cream
  4. Pour over fish
  5. Season and bake uncovered until cooked

Could add a cheese topping.
Serve with whatever veg you fancy.

What else can one have with oven cooked salmon after from rice, pasta?

OP posts:

Potato salad? Roasted baby potatoes?

My favourite quick dinner is the tik tok pasta, where you oven cook some cherry tomatoes until they burst, then mix a block of feta (or Boursin) though them, then stir in pasta. We have it with salad and sometimes I add courgettes or aubergine or kale to the tomato stage.
