Tomorrow: at a friends
Saturday: leftovers
Sunday: creamy pesto pasta bake
Monday: kung pao cauliflower and rice
Tuesday: white bean chilli
Wednesday: chipotle chickpea tacos

My lengthy meal plan that didn't require me to do the shopping in one go worked quite well actually. So slapping down things I think we can eat over the next 7-10 days, based in part on what's coming in my meat box.

• Chicken and chorizo fajitas
• Slow cooker chicken korma as per SpicePots recipe posted here (I even bought the actual spice pots spice mix!
• penne arribiata with aubergine and feta
• Pork roast dinner (was supposed to be over last week but we cancelled it)
• Salmon parcels with soy/ginger/lime
• Roasted veg with humous and pita breads
• Spaghetti and meatballs
• Jamie's gnarly chicken from 5 ingredients
• I thought I'd try this "philly cheesecake pasta" as an alternative to bolognaise

I might try to toss in another veggie meal as usually I aim for at least 2 in a week, not 2 in 10 days.

Just had Greek feta traybake, it was greatly improved by the addition of a tahini yoghurt (using Oatly Greek style yoghurt, which is gorgeous). Enough for tomorrow and the next 3 days.
-mushrooms with polenta (ottolenghi recipe)
-red wine mushroom casserole, possibly with the scone things on top, or maybe just with rice. Will be over 2 days.
-stuffed peppers from the Green Roasting Tin, I'm obsessed.

• Dhal and rice
