Five healthy dinners, one shopping list…

…and one less thing to think about this week.

Six weeks till Christmas. I'm not saying that to panic anyone. It just means there's a month and a bit of ordinary weekday teas to get through first, and they still need deciding.

What gets me is the rut. Chicken, then chicken again, then mince, then chicken. None of it's bad, but by Thursday I can't face thinking of something new, so I grab whatever I always grab.

Here's what's on next week.

Monday: Tex Mex Beef Tacos
Tuesday: Spanish Baked Prawns
Wednesday: Zesty Pork Steaks with Mushrooms
Thursday: One Pot Lemon Chicken
Friday: Quick Curry Stuffed Naan

A different one every night: beef, prawns, pork, chicken, then turkey mince in the naan on Friday. Three of them are ready in 15 minutes and the longest takes 25. Every one's under 600 cals, and the macros are on each card.
