Monday: Tonight's dinner will be minestrone soup with pinto beans, kale, courgettes, bell peppers and lots of other delicious veg. Perfect meal after a weekend of excess. We're cutting down on carbs so I'm not making any bread, but the soup is so filling that it doesn't need anything else anyway.
Tuesday: It's my birthday, so we will have a special meal tonight. Shellfish linguine with scallops, king prawns and clams, washed down with champagne and followed a delicious dessert. Happy birthday to me!
Wednesday: It's Guy Fawkes Night and we will most likely be going to a fireworks display. I'm going to make a lamb and date tagine that can be put in the slow cooker so it is ready to serve as soon as we arrive home. This will be served with a pomegranate and mint cous cous.
Thursday: We should go meat free today, so I'm going to make a ratatouille with courgettes, aubergines and peppers and I'll add in some lentils for a protein boost.
Friday: Depending on how we feel, I'm going to make either fish and chips or bulgogi beef Bibambap. Both are a great choice for a cosy Friday night dinner.
Saturday: Oily fish night! We'll have our weekly dose of omega 3 with some mackerel and I'll serve it with steamed samphire and garlic and herb baby potatoes.
Sunday: I'm going to try and order some fresh suet from the butchers early on in the week so that I can make a steak and kidney pudding. This will be followed by a chocolate and fig tart with an orange blossom cream.
