Hi everyone, I've just finalised our menu for this week. I give every day a theme so it's easier for me to come up with recipes. Then I print it off and stick it on the fridge. I also make double the quantities and freeze for next week. Here's mine, let's see yours. Also, happy to post recipes if anyone needs inspiration.

I love your names for the days! 😂 and also the disclaimer! I haven’t planned for this week. But this in the pattern we tend to follow:

Monday - big pot (usually dhal)

Tuesday - leftovers

Wednesday - tofu, veg and rice in some form

Thursday - find it in the freezer

Friday - pasta night

Saturday - new recipe / more involved favourite

Sunday - homemade pizzas or burrito bowl bar

I have some stale bread to use up so making ribollita tonight. I’ve never made it before but I love trying new recipes, and it looks delicious.
