Meal Planning Week 5 - 27 January

Last week's meal plan.... well... I didn't quite stick to it!  The plan for last week had been:

• Monday - Cheesy Chops and Chips (not sure what I will have but will be a vege alternative, possibly cheese & onion pie or the veg lasagne left over from last week) - 101 one pot dishes


• Tuesday - Spicy Potato Cakes with Salsa (Vege Nosh for students)


• Wednesday - Toad in the Hole with Veg (will do half with vege sausages)


• Thursday - Vegetarian Spaghetti Bolognaise - again from the vege nosh for students book


• Friday - Salmon with greens and Creme Fraiche - BBC Good food (here)

Monday I did - this went down really well although next time I will do some additional veg with it as it all looked a bit the same colour! My husband enjoyed it, and Daniel didn't complain.

 

I swapped Tuesday and Wednesday around - I have to say the spicy potato cakes were a huge hit and the home made Salsa was delicious. I'm not usually a fan of Salsa as I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes but this was really nice and I will definitely use this recipe again.

 

Thursday and Friday didn't happen. Friday because my husband wanted fish and chips, rather than salmon so I am doing the Salmon dish this evening (Sunday) and Thursday because, in all honesty, I was just too tired to cook a full meal from scratch so we all had a quick pasta using a jar of sauce.

This week's meal plan is as follows:

 

Monday - Slow Cooker chicken casserole with dauphinoise potatoes - recipe from mumsnet

Tuesday - Shepherds Pie and Vege Shepherds Pie - I intend to make enough to freeze in preparation for the baby's arrival

Wednesday - Cheese and Onion pie with new potatoes and veg

Thursday - Fajitas with sweet potato wedges and homemade dips

Friday - Fish and chips

I'm optimistic I will stick to it this week... but we will see!!
