I'm a longtime lurker here but rarely post on Old Style. However under the influence of all you inspirational organised types I have been getting more into meal planning . It's slightly more awkward because Dh doesn't eat meat and DD is not a big fan of most vegetables. A swift audit of the freezer means the next two weeks should look something like this. It’s basic and perhaps slightly repetitive but I’m taking baby stepsJ
Sunday – Home made quiche, baked potato, home made coleslaw
Monday – DD and I beef and onion pie, DH fish pasty, boiled potato, green beans carrots. Don’t usually have dessert but have chocolate pudding and custard to use up.
Tuesday – Home made veggie cottage pie, carrots, sprouts
Wednesday – DD and I burgers DH veggie burgers, fried onion, cheese slices, home made potato salad
Thursday – Home made veggie chilli, rice
Friday – Home made fish pie, carrots, peas
Saturday – Home made pizza, green salad
Sunday – DD and I sausage and mash, DH veggie sausage and mash, roast sweet potatoes, peas, stuffing, yorkshire pud, onion gravy
Monday – DD and I beef and onion pie, DH fish pasty
Tuesday – Home made cauliflower cheese
Wednesday – Egg and chips with peas or baked beans
Thursday – Home made tuna and olive pasta
Friday – Baked potatoes with cheese, beans, tuna, red onions
Saturday – Home made pizza, green salad
Sunday – cheese and onion pie, roast parsnips, peas, stuffing, yorkshire pud, onion gravy
Breakfast will be porridge, cereal or toast
Lunch will be soup, a sandwich or something on toast
Snacks will be fruit or a piece of home made banana loaf ( have over ripe bananas to use)
Nothing in it, nothing in it but a ribbon round it .....0 -

Great to see so many organised peeps !! I meal plan from a Friday to Thurs (I get my grocery delivery on a Friday afternoon).
Our budget is £69.00 per week for 3 adults and 1 x 5 yo (Sunday lunch 2 extra adults).
Everything (apart from sometimes the "easy" meal is HM and we have a very small freezer so all meat and veg are fresh and I aim to try at least 1 new recipe per week.
I meal plan with the following in mind:
Breakfasts are usually cereal, fruit and/or toast
Lunches are Sandwiches or Wraps
2 x Pudding to last 4 days - remaining days are pudding free or fresh fruit.
1 x Easy Meal
1 x Mince Beef Meal
1 x Sunday Roast bulked out with warm ups for the following day
1 x Pasta Meal (with or preferably without meat)
1 x Chicken Breast/thigh meal
1 x meat free meal or cheap, cheap, cheap meal !!
So here we go for this week:
Friday - Minced Beef Crispy Pancakes, Spaghetti with cheese and Potato Wedges
Saturday - Mixed Veg Cottage Pie with Sweet Potato and Gruyere cheese topping and Green Beans
Sunday - Roast Leg of Lamb, HM Cauliflower Cheese, Roast Potatoes, Roast Parsnips, Carrotts, White Cabbage, Peas, Gravy, Mint Jelly and Redcurrant Jelly.
Forest Fruit and Apple Crumble with Custard or Ice Cream
Monday - Warmed up leftovers from Sunday
Left over Forest Fruit and Apple Crumble with Custard or Ice Cream
Tuesday - Liver, Bacon and Onion Casserole with Parsnip & Potato Mash and Peas
Wednesday - Meditteranean Chicken Bake with Cous Cous
Bread & Butter Pudding with Crea/Ice Cream
Thursday - Roast Squash and Onion Pasta with Ciabatta Bread.
Leftover Bread & Butter Pudding with Cream/Ice Cream0
