Five healthy dinners, one shopping list…
…and one less thing to think about this week.
The clocks go back tomorrow. Dark when I get up, dark at teatime, and somehow that's when I most want dinner sorted in advance. So this seems as good a week as any to start doing these every Saturday.
Working out five dinners a week is a job in itself. The cooking's fine. It's the deciding that gets me - what everyone will eat, what fits round the week, what we haven't just had. If it doesn't get decided at the weekend, it gets decided at six o'clock on a Tuesday with whatever's in the fridge.
So from now on there'll be a new meal plan here every Saturday, with one shopping list to cover the lot.
This week's recipes:
Monday: Beef and Chickpea Tagine
Tuesday: Pan-fried Cod with Basil Mash
Wednesday: Chicken & Tomato Curry
Thursday: Harissa Chicken Pilaf
Friday: Sweet & Sour Chicken
They're warming, filling and easy, and the quickest are ready in 15 minutes. Each one is under 600 cals with the macros worked out as always, so if you're after higher protein, lower cals or whatever, they should slot right in.
