I’m having to plan and procure our meals at my parents, so printed off a mini planner. I did one for P too, who has filled it in with chicken madras and saag aloo, spaghetti bolognese and “kebab x 2 from work”.

Koftas with rice
Roast chicken
Leftover chicken pasta
Carvery (my mum is taking us out)

Fish, chips, mushy peas

This week:
Chilli salt tofu and rice
Irish stew and homemade bread
Vegetable chow mein
Bean and lentil chilli with rice
Balsamic mushrooms with colcannon potato cake
Daal makhani and roti
Nut roast/sausage and veg

Next week:
Kindanara (the dodgy recipe name for a not-carbonara)
Chinese baked rice
Pearl barley with tomatoes, leeks and dill
Homemade sausages (it involves chestnuts, silken tofu and sage and onion stuffing - I’m really not sure!), mash and veg

The sausages were ok!

Next plan:
Rice and veggie bowl
Chinese-style veg curry, fried rice and sesame toast
Sausage/nut roast, roast potatoes and veg
Cherry tomato gnocchi
Chick’n Poppers, homemade chips and beans
Caper puttanesca

This week has been ok, next week is availability dependent! It includes some lunches.

Mushroom, lentil (and ale but we had none) pie
Vietnamese noodle bowl
Black bean chilli
Potato, spinach and tomato frittata
Potato, pea and rocket soup
Omelette
Gnocchi with stir-fried Brussels sprouts, mushroom and sage

We’ve started adding desserts too.

Flatbread pizza
(Courgette?), pea and spinach pasta
Leek and almond pie
Cheese-stuffed big daddy burger
Aubergine katsu curry
Crispy chow mien
Minestrone
Rocket soup
Sticky date pudding

The lunches will be what finishes me off in all this, I think!

F: poached egg & spag hoops on toast; olive-dad-dal with rice
S: hot & sour courgette soup with part baked roll; bloke's pasta

This evening we had a lovely made up lentil bolognese and it was amazing.

J did our meal plan for this week so it's not quite what I usually choose. Breakfast is normally cereal, toast at a push, and dessert is yoghurt and/or fruit. Still, it was one less job for me:

Saturday
B: Toast
L: Egg fried rice
D: Sausages, wedges and beans/peas - Berry crumble
Sunday
B: Smoothies/cereal
L: Sandwiches
D: Take away
Monday
B: Bacon & eggs
L: Beans on toast
D: Burrito bowls - Fruit pies
Tuesday
B: Cereal
L: Sandwiches
D: Burritos - Fruit salad
Wednesday

D: Red pasta - Yoghurt
Thursday
B: Pancakes
L: Sandwiches
D: Burgers & salad - Fruit salad
Friday
B: Porridge
L: Lentil & BNS dahl
D: Quesadillas - Ice cream

I am planning to the nth degree at the moment but only to Sunday as some sort of mystery delivery arrives on Monday and god only knows what'll be in it.
T lunch: ribollita dinner: scallops with wild garlic spelt risotto, broccoli, cavolo nero
F lunch: ribollita dinner: FINALLY SOME SORT OF DELIVERY PROBABLY PIZZA
S lunch: roast beetroot, wheat berries, salsa verde dinner: cod and chips, peas, tartare sauce
Su lunch: free form lunch with free access to eggs and cheese for all dinner: bloke's pasta (sausage with fennel seeds, chilli, lemon)

I think you can tell that by the weekend there is no veg except three potatoes and a bag of frozen peas.

ETA: just found out the pizza place is now closed.
