Weekly Menu Planning - May 2026

Welcome to the May edition of the thread where we share our weekly menus and more.

Some of us share a day by day plan, others report last week’s actual meals, and some put together a list of ideas to work from the week. You do you, and take comfort that the best laid plans do change for all of us!

If you have recipe links or sources, do share them, as we all love picking up new ideas from everyone else’s menus! For context and because we’re interested, please include your location and how many you plan and/or cook for.

May is here, Spring has fully sprung for those of us in the northern hemisphere, what’s cooking at your house?

(The April thread remains available for reporting actuals and any follow-up discussions.)

Friday - minestrone primaverde, followed by supermarket quiche & salad

Saturday - local asparagus, beef daube with saute spuds, veg, dessert to be determined

Sunday - bigos & spuds

Monday - carrot, chickpea and saffron stew. crusty bread

Tuesday - lamb & asparagus pilaf.

Wednesday - off to the city for Sichuan food.

English asparagus is now readily available so is featuring heavily in our menu planning, including the minestrone.
