Meal planning for families.

It’s been a funny few weeks hasn’t it? One minute it’s blue skies outside and I’m prepping salads, the next minute it’s cold and lashing down with rain and I’m seeking warm, hearty meals for dinner time! It’s crazy. Our meal plan is pretty straight forward this week, here’s what we are having.

Monday – Homemade fishcakes with sweet potato fries. I use a Mary Berry recipe that calls for cod and crab meat. There is just enough spice to make them interesting and these are a great hit with my boys.

Tuesday – Beef burgers in buns with onion rings. I usually make my own burger patties. Mince, beef OXO and black pepper. Super simple but tastes amazing!

Wednesday – Homemade lasagne. I like to make mine with a cheese sauce instead of bechamel. I might even make some homemade chips to go with it, or a salad depending on how the week unfolds.

ThursdayFalafels, rice and salad. Really quick dinner, prepared in advance served with microwave rice.

Friday – Pizza. A treat from Dominoes!

Saturday – BBQ. Weather depending.

Sunday – Roast chicken, cauliflower cheese and veg.

What are you looking forward to eating this week?

  1. We just had lasagna this past week and I subbed out the meat for sauteed zucchini & squash. We have been roasting here with temps around and above 90 (32 Celsius) and no rain in sight. So I am hoping for lots of cold meals and maybe crock pot dishes this week.

  2. We have had a mixed week so far. Wet but warm and today is dry but quite chilly. I wish the weather would make it’s mind up.
    I love the sound of your fishcakes and the beef burgers.
    Fab meal plan! I hope it stays dry for your BBQ x

  3. Judging by the weather support I think BBQ day should be Friday not Saturday, but it’s all bound to change anyway. I always make our home made lasagne with cheese sauce rather than bechamel, it’s much tastier.

  4. I really want to try making my own fishcakes but still haven’t got around to it! My sister gave me a great recipe with salmon but I like the sound of cod fishcakes. I make my own burgers too, they’re so quick and easy with a burger press :o)

  5. I need to see if my kids will eat fishcakes. They don’t like fish fingers but making it more interesting might help. I haven’t had a take out pizza for a long time. Sadly food allergies mean I am the only one that can eat them, so I don’t order them often.
