Another week has flown by and I really need to get back into meal planning. So, here we are! We have been eating really poorly just lately and it has to stop. Now that wedding season is over I have to be more budget conscious. A lot of my money is spent on food so meal planning seems like the obvious first step in an overhaul of our spending habits.
The children have their last day of school today so next week they will be home for half term. It will be so useful to have a plan for that!
I don’t know about yours but my children always seem to be constantly raiding the cupboards during the holidays and with this one being colder (and therefore more indoorsy) I have a feeling it will hit the wallet hard!
I am planning on having a baking day on Monday so we have lots of vaguely healthy and fast snacks for them to reach for during the week. The plan is to make a rocky road style tray bake as well as some cupcakes I think. Moose enjoys it when we bake together so I thought it would be a good way to fill a day really. Plus we save a bit of money because there won’t be lots of trips to the shops!
This week in food
Friday: I am off to see my StepMum so dinner will be a surprise. Yay!
Saturday: M&S posh dogs in brioche buns with thin cut homemade chips and either beans or coleslaw or both
Sunday: Roast pork with yorkshire pudding, mashed potato and green veg
Monday: I am going out so it will be something quick like pesto pasta
Tuesday: Barbecue chicken lasagne with green salad
Wednesday: Sea bass with roasted veg and green beans
Thursday: Bang Bang chicken with vegetable chow mein and prawn crackers
Sounds like my kind of week. Also, I love going to visit people and them cooking dinner hahaha x Thanks for linking up and have a lovely weekend!
It all sounds straightforward and healthy. Meal planning really does make a huge difference to your food budget. I spend loads more if I don’t do it!
Sounds lovely and best when someone else cooks. The BBQ chicken lasagna sounds really interesting
It all sounds sooooo good! God I wish it was tea time already! ha ha!
Good luck with the meal planning!
My two are always in the fridge and cupboards when they are off school. It’s hard work keeping them full and fed. We’re having a baking day on Wednesday.
Fab meal plan! I love the sound of the Bang, Bang Chicken x
