I like ten day plans, but I love the idea of a month plan. I think I'd find it really challenging though.

I have a 4 week plan I rotate, but I have options to chop and change to keep things interesting (ie. if it says spaghetti bolognaise my alternatives will be lasagne and spaghetti and meatballs) and sometimes I just add in a new meal. I find it easy so I don't have to think much, and it takes 5 minutes to check my diary and make sure it works for us

With a baby it's easier to just not think, or we'd eat 'ping meals' most nights!

I haven't done a meal plan since about November and trying to get back to normal so here goes:-

Saturday - Macaroni Cheese with Chorizo
Sunday - Shepherds Pie
Monday - Greek Salad
Tuesday - Quorn Curry and Rice
Wednesday - Faggots, Mash and Peas
Thursday - Chicken and Wedges
Friday - Meatballs in a spicy sauce with tagliatelle

Lots of people doing well sticking to plan :T

I am just roasting a 12-16kg turkey so it will come as no surprise that our meals will be turkey based
Sunday-Turkey dinner
Monday-Turkey with mushrooms and cheese with garlic bread
Tuesday-Turkey and vegetable curry with turmeric rice and home fried prawn crackers
Wednesday-Turkey tikka massala lasagne with cauliflower
Thursday- Turkey and chorizio pizza with garlic dough balls
Friday- Turkey and gammon pasta bake
Saturday- Turkey and mushroom pie with chips and peas

I'll make a soup with the bones for lunches and also have some for sandwiches.
Breakfasts will be porridge and fruit or toasts. Snacks will be using up mince pies and chocolates.

Week before pay day so it's the dregs of the freezer / cupboard.

• Bean & chorizo chilli, rice and salad

• Salmon, roast veg cous-cous

• LO cooked chicken magic'd into...hmmm something! curry likely.

• Mince and tatties, greens

• Veggie sausage & mushroom casserole with dumplings, greens

• LO cooked duck made into mock-Peking duck with trimmings and salad

• Bean & chorizo chilli made into enchiladas with salad.

I have a pan of yellow split peas on that will be made into either dhal or soup for lunches this week and will make up some sandwich fillings for hubby like tuna and last of the eggs into eggy-mayo.

There's still fruit in the bowl and tins to go with a little greek yogurt or last of the ice cream for treats.

Have a good week folks
