Weekly Menu Planning - October 2025

Hi everyone

Hope you enjoyed the weekend, and that your week is off to a peaceful start.

I have been dithering about menu planning because nothing appealed much each time I went to the store. But then I decided to pick up a few things anyway, so hopefully that will boost my cooking mojo.

Ideas for the week:
Salmon burgers from NYT (I found salmon strips at the Korean store and it was the first thing that had appealed in days). Maybe I’ll add some red curry paste or gochujang to the mixture.
Garlic butter sheet pan salmon and asparagus (haricots vert) from COTM Teigen
– Salads I am still craving – roasted squash and arugula, fennel and citrus, Russian beet vinegret
– Still not feeling the soups but if I keep them on the list maybe they will motivate me: – Curried Carrot, Lentil Coconut, or Mushroom.
– Mushroom japchae + tbd protein
– Cumin lamb (with a Dongbei or Xinjiang Chinese flavor profile) + quinoa/rice + veg

Have a good week!
