You may have noticed, I've swapped my Menu Planning day over to a Sunday, as it fits in better with my schedule. I used to plan my menu then go shopping, buying whatever fit in with my menus. Since Madhouse Daddy died, I do my shopping at Lidl as it's so close to the house, but it's a bit hit and miss on specific products in the meat aisle, so I now do my shopping and menu plan around whatever I've bought. I've tamed down my menus since cooking just for me and the kids anyway, so this works out OK.
Sunday
lunch - chicken casserole with boiled potatoes (or maybe roast potatoes, or maybe even mash, I'm not sure yet !), carrots & leeks
dinner - sandwiches, toast, soup ... something along those lines. Or leftovers from lunch if someone wants them.
Monday
dinner - pork meatballs with red peppers & onions, served with either rice or spaghetti
Tuesday
dinner - bangers & mash - I think I'll cook the sausages then put them in with some tinned tomatoes, mushrooms, onions & red pepper to make a nice sauce
Wednesday

Wednesday
lunch - baked fish with rice & leeks ... maybe cheesy leeks if I have time, but this afternoon is hectic, with a work meeting and Juliette's appointment to get her braces off - so much for a nice peaceful day off !
dinner - pork chops with mushrooms in a creamy sauce with spaghetti

I had boiled potatoes for the first time in several years after reading one of your recent menus. Found myself wondering why I had left it so long as they were absolutely delicious with a dollop of butter. Thank you!
