Well, I totally fell off the advance planning wagon courtesy surrounding forces who balk at more than a day of meal planning 
.
But, I’m back at it, for my own sanity 
.
Ideas for the coming week:
- (Tonight) Roast chicken (Keller - COTM), roast potatoes & onions underneath + Leftover veg meal for mom – whole lentil biryani or veg cutlets and focaccia
- Scallion-ginger noodles, miso eggplant / chicken
- Masala pot roast, homemade bread, salad OR Beef rendang, rice, tbd veg
- Maki or Sushi bowls (cabbage, carrot, avocado, cucumber + smoked salmon)
- Risotto (mushroom or asparagus) + prawns
- Cauliflower cheese, garlic bread
- Pad see ew, chicken larb
- Fondue with assorted dippers
- Pizza – been ages since we ate pizza and it’s a crowd favorite
What we ate in the past week:
- Korean-ish - Beef bulgogi, garlic sesame green beans, carrot kimchi (leftover pasta & fresh olive focaccia for mom)
- Kathi rolls (chicken seekhs or veg patties rolled up in thin flatbreads)
- Chinese - Vegetable chow mein, chilli chicken paneer manchurian
- Assorted leftovers - Farfalle in pesto cream sauce, Bucatini with fresh (uncooked) tomato sauce, Chicken junglee sandwiches (chicken salad with red onion, green chilli, and cilantro)
- Baked ziti (except fusilli) for mom & sis (I went out for tea with friends that extended to dinner)
- Baked shrimp scampi (COTM Keller), spinach, bucatini (mom had leftover desi pasta with garic toast and a taste of the bucatini on the side)
- Homemade ramen using mutton bone broth and trotter soup from the freezer and cooking it all with chicken
- Baked - Tomato and cheese tart, mixed vegetable galette
Will also bake a baby boule from dough I have aging in the fridge, and maybe a citrus cake or muffins because I zested a few sweet limes and oranges yesterday.
