Week day meals without meat ..whaddaya all eat?

[plus3]

Was reading with interest that someone was cutting down their shopping bills by only eating meat 3 times a week. Now, we eat meat dishes most nights, the exception being baked potato night.

Basically am asking for veggie based meal ideas and /or cheaper meals. We often have risotto,and unfortunately no one was keen on my ratouille and rice.

Sorry if this has been done before

Salad.

Tonight we're having Greek salad but you can do about a billion different salads. Some variations to put with salad leaves are:

-roasted butternut

• grilled haloumi
• a big dollop of hummus with pita strips
• grilled tomatoes with a soft poached egg (better with a few strips of bacon too although obviously that's not meat free)
• asparagus, avo and sugar snap peas with pine nuts

cyteen you are a superstar, will def. try some your recipes.
laura032004 by chance that is the pasta that I have already brought! Was finding cooking seperately for myself whilst the others all ate their lovely pasta alittle hard going!

Thank you everyone am feeling most inspired!

I do a delicious (if I say so myself!) cherry tomato sauce for pasta. They're pretty cheap from the market, not too bad at Asda, but can be pricey elsewhere. Anyway, skin the cherry tomatoes and roast them with olive oil, garlic, a splash of balsamic vinegar and some seasoning. Halfway through I gently squish them with a potato masher to make them a bit more sloppy and 'sauceable' Stir in some basil and dish up with pasta and some crumbled feta cheese.
