We did quite well with last week’s meal planning albeit Saturday we were running really late so we ordered a Domino’s instead! I love how meal planning has really cut down on the food waste.
It’s nice how you get a variety of meals throughout the week too. It’s so easy to get caught up in a rut and have the same things or spend too much time wondering what to cook for tea! Which after a long day usually ends up with something lazy or worse still, a takeaway!
I love being organised, I function better when I have a plan in place. Meal planning also makes it easier to do the shopping. As I know exactly what we are having, I also know exactly what ingredients I need.
Some of this week’s meals will be made up by using some of the food we already have in the freezer, as I had a good sort out at the weekend.
Here is what our meal plan looks like this week.
Monday – BBQ chicken steaks with vegetable rice
Tuesday – Spicy spaghetti with garlic mushrooms. The first meat-free meal of the week.
Wednesday – Slimming World Beef In Onion Gravy With Veg Crush.
Thursday – Pulled jackfruit baps. Just like pulled pork in a barbecue sauce. The boys didn’t even notice that this was not real pork the first time they tried it so it’s a good choice for a meat-free meal.
Friday – Sausage casserole. A bit of comfort food for the week.
Saturday – Pasta bolognese with garlic bread slices. The kids love this for dinner and I have a Dolmio sauce that I can use up for this.
Sunday – Chicken and sweetcorn pies with celeriac mash.

I’d never heard of jackfruit before – I had to google it! I have a big chicken casserole in the oven today, at least four meals worth. I’m feeling quite virtuous as I’m not usually so organised!

I have never heard of jackfruit but I am always looking for ways to squeeze more meatless meals into our menu rotation. Today I had a turkey lasagna cooking in our crock pot which typically feeds us for two meals.
Ahh! I dream of ordering a Domino’s again but our nerest one don’t deliver here. Hmmf.
I love the sound of the Spicy spaghetti with garlic mushrooms and the Pulled jackfruit baps. My two won’t eat jackfruit. Usually I can fool them but not with that. lol
Great meal plan x
Your meals this week sound great, Jackfruit is becoming more popular but I’ve still not tried it, maybe I should give it a go!
