Monday brunch – pancakes, weeeee
Monday dinner – John’s previously frozen super special pasta sauce, with pasta & salad

Tuesday lunch – curried egg mayo with bread
Tuesday dinner – spicy pinto bean, pepper & chorizo stew

Wednesday lunch – some sort of veggie soup with bread & cheese
Wednesday dinner – pork chops with garlicky-tomato fried green beans

Thursday lunch – leftover veggie soup with bread & cheese
Thursday dinner – spicy smoked mackerel kedgeree

Friday lunch – samosas with salad/pickled veg
Friday dinner – burgers, with salad and bean salad

Have you planned your meals for this week? Are you having anything nice?

This week’s meal plan

Posted by louisa on Tuesday 24 May 2011 in weekly meal plans | 0 comments

A late start on this one since we were away – I did write a meal plan for our camping trip but since we cut it short and rain-stopped-bbq-play another evening, it seems a bit pointless to post it. It was very useful to have though to know what we should with us.

Tuesday lunch – bread & ham
Tuesday dinner – chicken risotto with salad

Wednesday lunch – pate on toast (for me); ham sandwich (John)
Wednesday dinner – pasta with tuna, sweetcorn, olives & chillis

Thursday lunch – curried egg mayo with bread/toast
Thursday dinner – (John out) leftover risotto (hopefully!) or jacket potato, with salad

Friday lunch – samosas with salad
Friday dinner – warm chorizo & poached egg salad, with new potatoes

Our weekly meal plan – one meal that takes ages to make and lots of quick ones

Sunday brunch – sausages & homemade bread
Sunday dinner – the exciting (veggie) experimental ravioli I was too tired to cook on Friday night, with salad

Monday lunch – curried egg mayo sandwiches
Monday dinner – pasta with chorizo & olives, with salad for me; leftover ravioli with chorizo, for John

Tuesday lunch – some sort of tomato-ey veggie soup with bread (possibly tomato and lentil soup)
Tuesday dinner – dinner out with my friend Katherine?

Wednesday lunch – more soup with bread and cheese
Wednesday dinner – jacket potatoes (with tuna & salad or cheese & beans)

Thursday lunch – bread’n’cheese’n’stuff
Thursday dinner – smoked mackerel kedgeree

Friday brunch – scrambled eggs & toast
Friday dinner – burgers

We seem to be having a rather carb-heavy, vaguely Italian themed week this week – lasagne for two nights, pizza for another two meals and a ravioli experiment on Friday. Mmm carb-heavy vaguely Italian food ;)

Sunday brunch – scrambled eggs I got up too late to have them, just had cereal instead ;)
Sunday dinner – curry, weeee! we heart curry

Monday lunch – bread with cheese & pickles
Monday dinner – lasagne using one of the frozen portions of John’s special pasta sauce & a whole heap of veg, with salad

Tuesday lunch – bread & cheese etc fish and chips
Tuesday dinner – leftover lasagne, with salad bread & cheese etc

Wednesday lunch – samosas with salad
Wednesday dinner – movie night pizza leftover lasagne, with salad

Thursday lunch – leftover pizza (if there is any); if not, just bread & stuff
Thursday dinner – chicken & mushroom egg fried rice

Friday lunch – french toast with bacon (because I want it for brunch on Saturday but won’t be here ;) )
Friday dinner – experimental homemade ravioli…!

The week’s meal plan

I didn’t do a meal plan last week because by the time I sat down to write it after the long weekend, it was Tuesday and nearly half way through the week already. I also thought I’d see what it was like to not have one – John kept asking “what’s on the meal plan for dinner tonight?” — I think we’re getting reliant on them already!

Sunday brunch – scrambled eggs & muffins
Sunday dinner – John’s special pasta sauce (made with reduced to clear pork mince so it cost about 35p a portion, for five x2 portions – win! freezer full of homemade ready meals! hurrah for batch cooking!)

Monday brunch – scrambled eggs & muffins
Monday dinner – Marinaded turkey with veg stir-fry

Tuesday lunch – bread & cheese & olives & pickles
Tuesday dinner – pasta & sauce (the portion that didn’t get frozen)

Wednesday lunch – spicy chicken pieces with salad
Wednesday dinner – tuna bagel melts with salad

Thursday lunch – bread & cheese & olives & pickles
Thursday dinner – warm chorizo & potato salad, with wild garlic & poached egg

Friday lunch – bread & cheese & olives & pickles
Friday dinner – nachos (with loads of veg & beans so isn’t as “packet of crisps” as it sounds ;) )

This week’s meal plan

Our grow-our-own salad isn’t quite ready – such a shame as it would be very useful this summery week!

Monday dinner: pasta with tuna, olives, sweetcorn & chillis

Tuesday lunch: bread’n’cheese’n’stuff
Tuesday dinner: risotto – possibly chicken & red pepper, with salad
