    Well, my 7 year old has slightly disrupted the food plans by deciding to become vegetarian. I wasn't expecting that for another 3-4 years! She is a thoughtful child, and seems to mean it. In any case, my inclination is to take her seriously, and if she changes her mind, then it will be her decision. So (given that we have increased our proportion of vege meals recently anyway) meals are planned to be adaptable to a non-meat eater...

    Saturday: vegatarian pasta, marinated (freerange) chicken drumsticks
    Sunday: hm pizza (one veg, one with meat)
    Monday: felafel, marinated lamb chunks, pitta bread, salad
    Tuesday: chilli bean soup (vege), tortilla chips
    Wednesday: potato & chickpea & cashew nut curry, rice
    Thursday: spaghetti with tomato sauce and optional meat balls
    Friday: fishfingers, beans & chips (egg for non-fish eaters)

    Hmm, lots of beans next week, maybe I should swap some things around!

    Breakfasts are either porridge with jam at work or weetabix.

    Lunches are sandwiches with tuna, cheese, coleslaw, pate or hm soup and ys bread and fruit.

    Puddings are biscuits, fruit or banana and custard.

    Mine is mostly done as well. Am going to use angelnikki's colour coding from now on, seems to make sense.
    Yes I like angelnikki's coloured postings too :).
    I use colour too as it helps me see the balance (and also on my own excel meal planning file!) although not sure I use exactly the same colours!
    Due to tonsilitis making me a bit fussy food wise I am meal planning for the next day only so won't be making a weekly plan, and hoping I can eat normally again soon. I will be taking inspiration from you people and your lovely plans though :T.
