What's on your meal plan for this week?
I thought it might be cool to see what different meals people have in the week and maybe provide some inspiration for others!
You're viewing a single thread.
I guess I'll kick things off:
Monday (today)
Chicken and chorizo jambalaya - except I used Quorn pieces, vegan chorizo and veg stock as my son is veggie
Tuesday
Sesame glazed Quorn balls with chilli noodles
Wednesday
Sweet & sour chicken - again with Quorn pieces instead!
Thursday
Chicken burgers with a home made sauce made up of mayo, sriracha, ketchup and lemon juice, with sweet potato fries. My son will have southern fried Quorn burgers instead.
Starting to realise this almost sounds like an ad but I promise it's not! My son hasn't been veggie long so meal planning has become so much more difficult!
vegan chorizo
How is that working out for you? When I was working on improving my diet, I got to the point where chorizo was the unhealthiest thing I ate but the alternatives just didn't cut it. I made my own for a while (Quorn chicken chunks marinated in olive oil, smoked paprika and some other stuff, probably chili. And yes, Quorn might as well sponsor the thread at this point) but I eventually switched back.
It's the first time I've had it and it was ok, better than I expected. The only thing is that it doesn't release those delicious oils that proper chorizo gives out. But yeah, chorizo is really unhealthy but so tasty. Any time a recipe asks for 75g,I just chuck the entire lot in!

That's been the deal-breaker for me.

I am more restrained than that - I'll cook about a third of it in a meal that is then split into three portions. So one may last quite a while.
