As I’m sure you’re all well aware of now, Dave and I are eating a Pescatarian diet for the whole of January. I can’t believe it’s week three already, time in flying by.
Looking back on last week’s pescatarian meal plan, two thing really stand out:
- Making Pad Thai with courgette ‘zoodles’ was fun. If you don’t have one, I recommend you buy a spiralizer, I have a hand-held
one and it’s great. I will be doing more of that in the future.
- The Saucy Fish Co. Sicilian lemon and dill roasted salmon was particularly delicious and made a perfect salad topper for lunch one day too. I definitely recommend checking that out next time you’re doing a food shop.
Mum made me a cracking smoked haddock and cheese sauce dinner on Monday too which was so great I recreated it for Dave on Friday night!
This weeks meal plan:
Monday
We are meeting a friend after work for drinks so dinner will need to be quick. I have a smoked haddock with chive and cheese sauce from Saucy Fish Co. that’ll go nicely with mash and peas.
Tuesday
I’m at my mum’s again – not sure what’s for tea yet, maybe pasta!
Wednesday
We’re meeting a friend at the pub so I’m planning to make something which can be easily reheated when we get home to avoid takeaway! At the moment I’m thinking vegetable curry. Maybe this chickpea curry which freezes really well.
Thursday
I am desperate to make some soup this week. Perhaps a chunky minestrone as I have a bag of soup pasta from Tuscany which I want to use. Plus when the weather is cold, I really crave soup and buttered crusty bread.
Friday
We’re heading down to Bristol after work so a quick dinner at our favourite place, Gloucester Services, will be on the cards.
Weekend
What are you eating this week?
- Slow Cooked Borlotti Bean Chilli from The Veg Space
- Baked Mackerel Salad with Hot Ginger Dressing from The Hedgecombers
- Salt & Pepper Cod from The Foodie Couple Blog
- Spice-roasted Cauliflower & Broccoli with warm olive couscous from Family Friends Food
- Red Pepper, Spinach and Cheese Muffins from Celery & Cupcakes
I love how you've linked other recipes to your blog! I'm currently a student and I need new things to try and cook, so I'll definately be reading your blog and checking out recipes and new foods 🙂 I've never heard of courgette zoodles before! Love your blog 🙂 X

I am a vegetarian so all my meals are always full of veg, rice and pasta normally
I don't quite know how you do it, I really could manage without any meat but I love your meal choices though, will definitely need to try some of them!
I LOVE Gloucs Services!! We make sure we always stop there on our way up north.
Also if you're looking for eateries in Stokes Crfoft / Gloucs Road in Bristol – The Black Sheep – amazing veggie and vegan food at a steal / Bakers and Co for some amazing coffee / Pieminiester (get the heidi pie!)
Loving the sound of the courgetti pad thai!
You sound very organised! I guess I would have to say I am a flexitarian – mainly vegan but with fish and eggs as I know my body works best with some animal protein, and these seem best for me. It sounds likes you have a busy week. Best wishes with the rest of the month's fishy menus 🙂
Thank you Sus! Pieminister is THE BEST but I can't go there and not have the beef and stilton pie so it'll have to wait til after January! We'll definitely give The Black Sheep a try though, sounds great.
Don't get me started on my love for Gloucester Services!! Teeheee…
Flexitarian is a nice way of naming it – I think I'm a bit of that too. I do try to be organised but it doesn't always work! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Thank you Toni Charlotte! The food blogging community is brilliant, everyone supports each other, it's great fun! I'll be giving your blog a read tonight too 🙂
I tend to choose potatoes and pasta over rice so perhaps next week I'll plan in a few more 'rice' based dishes!
Sounds like you have a busy week planned – I stopped by from Mrs M in search of inspiration… going to suggest to the Littlesheeps that they might like soup for dinner although I think the might complain that it is lunch not dinner!
Haha I see your point about soup but I think as long as you have lots of veggies in it and some crusty bread, it feels like enough. Love Mrs M's linky for meal plan ideas!
I've never been to a supper club, but I really should. I'll have to look out for one near me.
Looks like there's not too much cooking on your plan for this week… Probably similar to how mine has ended up. Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day ! 🙂
