Weekly Menu Planning - January 2026

Cooking for 3 in southwestern Ontario. The soft food & low fibre diet continues for part of our household. No steak, no seeds, no nuts, no shredded coconut, no hot spices for the time being.

Tue:

Roast chicken. I am missing the Vietnamese roast chickens I made before one DC became strict with the low sodium diet. I may divide the whole chicken into pieces and roast half with Vietnamese flavours (leaving out the hot peppers. I would use lime, soy, fish sauce, ginger, cilantro, garlic, sugar from the Serious Eats recipe or lime, garlic, lemongrass, oyster sauce, and fish sauce from the The Woks of Life Lemongrass Chicken Thighs recipe) , and roast the other half with lemon and oregano.

Roast pineapple

Fruit salad (for the DC who needs lots of fibre)

Wed:

pasta with tuna, Italian-style.

Thu:

Swedish meatballs

Fri:

arctic char, maybe I will use some miso
