Meal Plan w/c Monday 20th October 2014

Monday: Soup day! Quite fancy a nice minestrone soup to boost my veg levels. Last weeks rye bread was a bit of a disaster - I'll either be brave and give it another go, or wimp out and revert back to my faithful wheaten bread recipe.

Tuesday: I'm trying to eat less meat during the week, so I'm going to make a nice ratatouille with courgettes, aubergines, red onions and whatever other veg takes my fancy. 

Wednesday: I'm going to try making falafels for the first time! This will take some organising as the chickpeas and broad beans have to be soaked the night before so that they're soft enough to cook with the following day. I'm going to serve this with a Middle Eastern inspired salad and some homemade tortilla bread. Recipe up soon!

Thursday: I'm really craving meatballs and although they seem like quite a low maintainence meal by the time you've made your own pasta and tomato sauce a whole day has gone by in the kitchen. I might try and source a crate of tomatoes on Monday and spend a few hours batch making tomato sauce to freeze for later use. I'll also make the pasta the night before as well.

Friday: I'm going to make a pork Bimbambap tonight which will be washed down with some Breton cider before a trip to the cinema.

Saturday: Fish night! Last week I had mackerel, so this Saturday will either be rainbow trout, or else I'll make my famous seafood linguine, which goes wonderfully well with our weekly bottle of champagne.

Sunday: Thinking of doing a mock Christmas dinner with game birds, chestnut stuffing, Brussels sprouts with pancetta and a delicious dessert.
