It is finally February after what feels like the longest month ever and we are back with yet another meal plan.
I had great plans last week to share some bits going on but time just ran away from me really but this week I plan to try and get myself a little more organised and back on track.
Meal plan wise last week was not bad, though we didn’t stick to the plan every day. I did however make the chicken Katsu curry and it was delicious, definitely one for the menu again in the future. The chicken tenders were not quite a success, the batter fell off the chicken in the air fryer, so that one is something I need to give another go but tweak the recipe a little. The pizza dough was another disaster, but we are going again today and I will let you know how it works out.
This week we are sticking with some family favourites and quick meals that I know everyone will enjoy. After a busy week last week, I just want to get myself back on track with things and the best way to do this is to make life as simple as I can when I can, especially when it comes to food.
Right, let’s see what we have cooking this week.
Our weekly meal plan – 03/02/25
Monday –
Homemade pizza – The recipe I used last week was a disaster, so I am trying out a new recipe today, I will let you know how it goes.
Tuesday –
Nando’s Fakeaway – I used the Nando’s sauce but made it at home for a fraction of the price. Everyone can make their wraps however they like, which is why it is always popular.
Wednesday –
Tuna pasta bake – Family favourite and clean plates all around!
Thursday –
Burgers & chips – Another one that is popular as everyone puts in their request when I am doing these. All will be served with freshly made rolls and a selection of sides and sauces.
Friday –
Curry night – I would like to try and find another curry recipe to try out as there have been a few I have tried in the past that have not quite been as nice as the takeaway version.
Saturday –
Creamy Rigatoni with Garlicky Greens and Creme Fraiche – This Hello Fresh recipe is delicious and simple to do, so looking forward to it as a weekend treat.
Sunday –
Pie & mash – Something a little different from the usual roast or casserole. I don’t really know what I really fancy at the moment so it may turn into a cottage pie and veg but we will see
This week we have a little more time, so I want to work on a list of recipes that we can pick from week in and week out. I am hopeful then that we will be able to not have the same dishes every week, keeping the variety there a little more than it currently is. At the moment, though, it is not that important as long as we all get a good meal!
I am hoping that this provides a little inspiration to you all but don’t forget to check our previous weekly meal plan here. Alternatively, why not check out our Pinterest boards here for more inspiration or even our food blog, The Family Cookbook where we share our favourite recipes.
