Meal Planning (w/c July 7, 2013)

In this week’s meal plan, there are a couple of new recipes, a stir-fry and pasta.  Breakfast is a fast and easy assembly option.

Click here to view or print a copy of the plan with the shopping list.

For breakfast, I’m going with 200g natural yoghurt topped 2 tbsp muesli – both store bought.

For lunch on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, I’m going to try a chicken saag in the Thermomix and will serve it with cauliflower rice.  The curry recipe is here.  The cauliflower rice is from the Super Kitchen Machine website.

For dinner on Monday and Tuesday, it’s another new recipe in the Thermomix with fish cakes made with salmon.  I’ll serve these with peas and broccoli steamed in the Thermomix.

The beef this week is in a stir-fry for Wednesday’s dinner and Thursday’s lunch.  The vegetables are cauliflower, mushrooms and green beans.  The simple stir-fry recipe can be found here.

Thursday’s dinner is fettuccini with prawns, snow peas and broccoli.  The pasta recipe is here.
