So I thought I'd try something new out this week, and hopefully make it a weekly thing. In my flat we do a weekly shop and plan meals for the whole week and then we usually all cook together or take turns cooking but we definitely always buy our meals for the week together. So before we go to the supermarket we have to decide on dinner for the next week which is often the hardest thing in the world to do! I definitely understand my mothers stuggles a little more now. So I thought I'd share with you all what we're having for the week and you can hopefully give me some ideas for next week!
Now normally we go shopping on a Wednesday because that seems to be when our supermarket has the most specials but I'll order it Monday to Sunday just to make things easier for everyone!
I'll also sometimes post the recipes but oftentimes we don't follow one but I'll try and put one on anyway for you!
Monday - Cottage Pie (Layer of cooked mince and steamed mixed veggies topped with mashed potato and a sprinkling of cheese then cooked in the oven, there are loads of recipes for this online)
Tuesday - Chicken Stir Fry (we just stir fry chicken pieces and veges with noodles or rice. You can find all sorts of recipes for this online)
Wednesday - Italian Sausage and Tomato Pasta
Thursday - Chicken Biryani (We used a jar sauce which gave us instructions)
Friday - Slow Cooked Beef Stew (beef chunks, carrots, onions, leeks and beef stock all chucked into a slow cooker while we were at uni and served on mashed potato when we got home. What could be easier!)
Saturday - Beef Burritos (you can just leave them as wraps if you can't be bothered cooking them in the oven)
Sunday - Tuna Pasta Bake (Tuna, cooked pasta, jar of pasta sauce all mixed together and put in the oven until warmed - substitute the tuna for bacon if you don't like fish)
If you need some more inspiration check out Countdown's Feed Four for 15. They have a tonne of cheap and delicious meals and we often cook from these recipes. The sausage and tomato pasta is a particular favourite of ours!
Let me know what you're eating this week!
