We are all back at school and work now. I was really pleased to have been able to take a bit of time off over half term – in fact I only ended up working for one day of it! I’m feeling a bit anxious about how I will juggle childcare and work over the Summer though. I am running out of holiday days and fast and 6 weeks is a long time..
Col (the eldest) is back at home with us for a little while. It’s awesome having him at home but my word the cost of food has just soared. It’s not like he is Pac-Manning his way through the fridge.. Simply put, things come in 4’s, not 5’s!
Because of this more than slight leap in the cost of the groceries I am having to be a bit careful so we are back to planning. On the upside, Col is pretty good in the kitchen so he will be cooking once or twice a week which will be a nice break for me.
I have tried to plan meals which can be padded out with vegetables or which don’t really come in packs so we are at least eating pretty healthily I think!
This week in food
Monday: Col’s Lasagne and salad
Tuesday: Jambalaya and Crusty bread
Wednesday: Spaghetti Bolognese
Thursday: Caramel sesame chicken and egg fried rice
Friday: Jerk chicken, potato salad and green beans
Saturday: Pizza
Sunday: Roast chicken and vegetables.
Great meal plan.
I love the sound of the Caramel sesame chicken x
Caramel sesame chicken? WOW! That sounds SO good!!
Hope you’re keeping well. I feel a little anxious about summer and juggling work, I won’t lie!
Sounds like a lovely meal plan.
My nephew is now back with me for childcare after school and two 11 year old boys eat a lot, I have had to meal plan more carefully too, to make up for it1
