I’ve been a bit AWOL on the blog and all things social media but in a plan to be a bit more organised and get back into the blogging scene I thought I’d start getting meal times planned a bit better and hopefully freeing up some time in the evening.
So back on to the meal planning we go. This week I am going to try to use the ingredients that we have in our cupboards/fridge and freezer so I don’t make too many trips to the local supermarket this month as that seems to be zapping all of our money as going in for a loaf of bread is starting to cost £20 plus a time!
Our breakfasts are just normally cereal or toast and we all have packed lunches so I don’t bother listing those however here are our evening meals for the coming week.
Monday – Leftover lamb curry – we had a leg of lamb for dinner yesterday so in a bid to save waste and money I plan to use the left over lamb to make a curry. Not something we’ve done before but something we are going to try!
Tuesday – Whatever anyone wants! I have a dreaded dentist appointment at 4 so I am not going to be eating as I am having a filing but I will take requests for everyone else’s dinner.
Wednesday – Tacos, family favourite so makes sense.
Thursday – Tuna pasta bake, the kids love this so its an all round winner as its super quick.
Friday – Chicken wraps
Saturday – Toad in the hole, we haven’t had this for ages and I have sausages to use so seems like a good idea!
Sunday – Lazy day, I will probably find a meal I’ve frozen in the past and use this!
I really need to start looking for more family friendly budget meals as we continue to save money this year so if you have any suggestions feel free to pop a link in the comments below 🙂
Everything sounds great.
I hope everything goes OK at the dentist’s and it isn’t too bad x
Thanks Kim!
Sounds lovely, love the sound of Taco night and toad in the hole. Hope the filing isn’t too bad xx
Thanks! They cancelled my appointment last minute… at least I could eat dinner!
Sounds a great meal plan – i love the sound of the Taco’s too!
