We are supposed to meal plan every week, but when things get bad workwise (and they have a lot this past year) it tends to fall by the wayside. Now the MSc is finally over I am going to try to be much better at meal planning and baking. I thought that if I posted here it might encourage me to stick to it. So for this week we are planning
What’s in the fridge pasta with chorizo
Brown rice with stir fry veg and beans
Veggie mince with mashed spuds and veg
Sandwichs with a big dish of raw veggies and houmous
Risotto
Jacket spud with beans and salad
Pizza
These are in no particular order we will eat what we fancy each night, we only plan specific nights if we are very time restricted. I am going to try to take some photos and then post an update.
I have just taken a chocolate cake out of the oven and later we will melt chocolate to cover the top. At the same time we will make some chocolate digestives.
I love cooking and baking so I am really hoping that I have a bit more time to devote to it

I have menu plan for every week. I have to in order to keep the grocery bill down – if I go to the store without knowing what we will be eating week after week I just buy carelessly and then I’m shocked when I check out – and it helps me to actually have food on the table when I get home from work since Kelsey has so many activities going on after school.

We started meal planning several years ago because we got so sick of standing in the kitchen and saying “What are we going to eat?” It certainly does mean you spend less though as you have a very focussed shopping list instead of wandering round throwing anything in the trolley
