    Its a funny week, this one, but yes I usually menu plan.

    Let's see..

    Monday - out for lunch (future in-laws meeting for the first time) so nothing much for dinner
    Tues - gym night, so maybe something carby afterwards like wholewheat pasta, tomato sauce
    Wed - burger at the gourmet burger place up the road that does a special offer with cinema ticket, as I want to go see Your Highness
    Thurs- night out with the girls, will make a chicken salad tortilla wrap before I go out.
    Fri- at a Scottish dancing weekend, staying with my parents. I think it'll be grilled salmon. Plus finger food supper half way through the ceili
    Sat- fork supper at the Scottish dancing thingy

    tonight- nothing much, we have class at 7 (probably cereal, eggs, piece of chicken sausage, depending on what I have left for the day carb-wise)
    tomorrow- pork tenderloin in the crockpot (marinated from trader joes)
    wednesday- tuna steaks
    thursday- chicken sausage
    friday- spaghetti and clams? not sure

    this is a weird week, too, because i get free chik fil a sandwiches from m-f (just show my teacher ID!) and my fiance happens to LOVE chik fil a and will eat one sandwich a day, so I don't have to cook him much :)
    (let's not get into the fast food debate, my fiance and i see very differently, but he is healthy and enjoys his chicken sandwiches!)

    Monday - Saien Soba @ Wagamama.
    Tuesday - Vegetarian sausage, potato mash & lots of green beans.
    Wednesday - 1/2 tin of baked beans on toast (I'm too lazy to cook some nights!)
    Thursday - Eating out @ an Indian restaurant. Thinking a potato & onion-based side dish with small portion of boiled rice.
    Friday - New potato & boiled egg salad with salad cream.

    Saturday is going to be a challenge - I'm going away for the weekend, last time I went away was on my birthday when I had 3 breakfasts! Thank goodness for MFP keeping me in check now :)

    I'm totally a planner but after staying up until 1am I'm so excited that tonight is a leftover dinner that hubby made last night while I was out.

    Beyond tonight, taking Zumba, and catching up on sleep...I have not planned out the rest of the week.

    Plus, when I go shopping I only tend to plan 2 meals at a time. I find less food in the house at once is a great approach!

    Oh my . . .I didn't realize how much fish we are eating until I typed it out. Usually, we eat fish about once a week.

    This weeks rough plan:

    1) roasted vegetables (eggplant, butternut squash, onions and mushrooms), hummus and feta cheese on a bed of spinach (I have variations of this almost every week- different veg/cheese)
    2) probably some sort of stir-fry with noodles- chicken or seitan with veg and sugar free teriyaki sauce
    3) chicken salad (chicken, Annie's Goddess dressing and fat free mayo) wraps
    4) seitan cooked in BBQ sauce w/ hummus on wraps

    (I grill all my wraps once they are filled on George Foreman grill so they are crispy- so good and so much more fun to eat!)

    not sure of the schedule for rest of week... I don't do much "real" cooking (some of your menus sound delicious!) so my meals are generally things I can just throw in a pan/ and assemble as salads/sandwiches.

    I have no idea what I am going to cook one meal to the next, let alone over the whole week! Sorry to be no use. I am actually a bit boggled at the organisation. I often still have no idea what I am going to cook by 7pm when my husband gets home.
