Menu Planning Monday

Week 2 already and I kinda stuck to the plans last week - Y'ah.  I did end up changing the nights around but we ate as I had planned so I feel pretty good about that.


I am trying to get less meat into our diets so would like to incorporate a fish dish (but cooking fish scares me a little) and a veggie dish each week.  If you have any easy dishes please let me know so I can up my confidence levels in these areas (TYIA).

This week I am planning;

Monday:- Lasagna and garlic bread

Tuesday:- Pita Pizzas and salad

Wednesday:- Burgers and chips and salad

Thursday:- tbd

Friday:- homemade Fishcakes and salad

Saturday:- Something vegetarian!

Sunday:- Chicken and Yorkshire Pudd and veg

Nearly a full week planned, even if the veggie option has to be discovered yet.  I do make a veggie pasta and tomato bake, but do want to increase my options.

    1. The Lasagna tonight was lovely - though must remember to let it cool a little before serving as it took about 15 mins before it was cool enough to eat!!!!

  2. Looks like a great week. I was terrified of fish too...I cooked some salmon in a frying pan with milk as part of a pasta dish for the first time..I can't remember what recipe it was I'm afraid but I'm sure there are plenty out there. Try BBC Good Food :) xx

    1. Hubby not in Salmon but I bet I can try this with a different fish. Will get googling.

  3. Sounds good! I tend to use prawns quite a lot as a fish recipes - usually throwing some cooked ones right at the end as raw ones scare me a bit. Apart from that, we eat a lot of oven-baked salmon, either roasted or wrapped in foil parcels. The Jamie Oliver recipe with a salmon fillet on top of a handful of green beans, topped with a dollop of pesto and wrapped in foil is a good, easy one.

    1. OOh cooked prawns could work - I love prawns. Bet they work well with noodles and something. Must start googling more.
