It's the week before pay day so I'm trying to avoid a big shop. That means a vegetarian/freezer week.
Monday - Pork loin, mashed potatoes, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower cheese (at parents)
Tuesday - meeting a friend for a drink after work, need something quick - pasta and pesto.
Wednesday - fishcakes, I have fish and leftover mash in the freezer to use up
Thursday - Stir fry - noodles, peppers, babycorn, spring onions, soy sauce, ginger, chilli
Friday - my leaving do from work, and pay day. Liquid tea...possibly a pizza?
Saturday - Curry
Sunday - Roast chicken
The chicken that I have on Sunday will give me chicken for a couple of meals next week. I'll also make some for the flatmate, if she's in. I'll be getting a free range chicken, so it will be an expensive food shop. I only buy free range chicken, so I usually only have it around pay day.
I'm unsure what curry to do on Saturday, I really like Paneer so if I can find some I might make that. I need to do a trip to Leeds market for fresh veg and fruit so I'll look there and see if I can find some, if not it'll be a butternut squash one.
Lunches for this week will be salad, I have some cous cous in the cupboard so will make up a big bowl and flavour it with lemon and herbs.
Try making your own Paneer, it's a bit faffy but worth tge effort. I have a recipe for a Kadhai Paneer from the head chef of Moti Mohal in London if you want it.
ReplyDeleteOh I love fishcakes, haven't made any in absolutely ages, you've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteOo, this is a great idea. I think writing down all the meals planned would definitely help me stick to it, rather than just reaching for a pizza some nights...
