Hmm, lets see - Monday we had Bangers and Mash with peas, Tues - steak with potato salad and a green salad, last night was chicken cacciatore with baked polenta and salad, tonight will be beef stirfry with cashews and rice. Our oven is unusable at the moment (door exploded) so can't roast or anything which sucks, but when we have a working oven I do a roast once a week, home-made fish and chips occasionally, lamb shanks.... right, gotta go get that oven fixed!!]]> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 12:27:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=178292&title=meal-planning#178292 <![CDATA[Meal planning : This week we have had: Monday:...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=178278&title=meal-planning#178278 Author: mummy_becks

I was hoping to get some inspiration but looks like we all have the exact same stuff for dinners

We do all of the above and stock up on meats on sale and then buy heaps of those Maggi sauce things and add veg to that, keeps life a bit interesting.

DH would live on roasts if I'd let him, but he's never home early enough to cook so I always pick dinner ]]> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 09:37:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=178172&title=meal-planning#178172 <![CDATA[Meal planning : mmmm gravy. when i was preggers...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=178036&title=meal-planning#178036 Author: lizzle

that pudding sounds good, liz
We eat rather boringly, as Rod and DSS are very fussy and have plain tastes, so its usually meat and veg. Rods faves are my pet hates that I HATE, Roast and casserole, and I kid you not when I say that Rod has to have at least 7 veges when its roast day.

Mince- nachos, spag bol, meatballs and pasta, or burgers.
Fish pie or tuna rice bake (with frozen vege).
Roasts- usually Sun so we can use leftovers for lunches in the week.

Super quick stuff :
Pizza (pre-made bases)with lamb aria farm chips or chicken or steak, and whatever vege we have.
Burgers with chicken takeouts or homemade mince patties and salad, usually with wedges we make.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 17:22:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=177403&title=meal-planning#177403 <![CDATA[Meal planning : Chilli Nachos butter chicken Every...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=177365&title=meal-planning#177365 Author: .Mel

We have about 2 pastas a week. (more if hubby had his way)
Then 3 meals with meat and 3 veg. (usually one fish, one chicken, one chop whatever meat I got on special ect.)

Then the other two really depends. Cant say week to week as such. But do usually do one meal a week like take away kind of food things. Like steak and chips

Or burgers and salad
or hotdogs (okay I know you guys call it totally different stuff here not even going to ask what it is)

Then boerewors rolls. Basically a sausuge in a roll with onion and tamatoes and cheese or whatever you want to put over it. \

Or tacos. Or something like that. ]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:28:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=177328&title=meal-planning#177328 <![CDATA[Meal planning : Roast chicken/pork/beef Grilled...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=177326&title=meal-planning#177326 Author: jaz

I always make soup in winter - at least twice a week. It works well for light lunch or can make dinner if I add nice bread & pudding to finish.
We also love indian food so I try to make at least one indian meal eg butter chicken from a packet
I also make something with mince once a week eg meatballs in tom sauce/meatloaf/nachos etc
I also always buy sausages - they can make a quick meal when in a hurry with some (packet) mashed potatoes and (frozen) veggies
We always get cold meats too - again makes for a nice sandwich when you need it]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 14:40:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=177228&title=meal-planning#177228 <![CDATA[Meal planning : during an average week we would...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=177206&title=meal-planning#177206 Author: my2angels

during an average week we would have

chicken breasts (sometimes wrapped in bacon) with potatoes, corn, brocolli and cauliflower with cheese or mushroom sauce.

nachos

snitzel either chicken or steak with same vegetables

silverside with same vegetables

and some sort of steak with same veges (boring arent I)

Hubby isnt overly keen on stir fry which is annoying cos I love them.

chicken casserole/curry with rice
mince with heaps of veges chucked in and mashed potato
roast pork with veges and gravy
casserole steak, veges, mushrooms and mashed potato
macaroni cheese, sometimes with bacon in it

Hard to think of them off the top of your head! I don't meal plan either, I like having a bit extra in the cupboard, but I could definitely work on using up stuff that has been sitting in the pantry for a while. ]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 14:21:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=177186&title=meal-planning#177186 <![CDATA[Meal planning : * Meat (sausages, cheap steak,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9016&PID=177162&title=meal-planning#177162 Author: aimeejoy
