I hope that you are proud of us. We did it. Survived the week without takeaway and we're going to do the same again this week! Well that's sort of lie, we had it on Saturday night but that was accounted for. But we stuck to the meal plan rigidly and it worked out really well.
This week is set to be a busy one. Edith turns 1 tomorrow! So we've got a little tea party going on, nothing too big as we had her party on Saturday. And then Thursday I'm working, photographing a wedding. Then Saturday, I'm photographing another wedding and it's my sister-in-law's party. So it's going to be a little crazy. I think by Sunday we'll be so exhausted we will hide away all day!!
This weeks meals are again simple ones that won't take too much effort but meals we know Edith will enjoy. She's been a bit fussy with her evening meals lately so we are adapting them to her tastes. She pretty much favours the same as my husband so it's not too tricky to work out.
We shopped in Morrisons this week as it was on the way back from my photoshoot in the morning. The bill came to £28.76 which meant we were under budget. Wahooo! We did have a lot of things we needed in the freezer or store cupboard so we saved money by having ingredients we needed.
Monday
Hawaian pasta salad
Tuesday
Edith's Party Tea (Homemade sausage rolls, wedges, salad and cake)
Wednesday
Chicken and mushroom hotpot
Thursday
Chicken, hummus and salad wraps
Friday
Cheats Swedish meatballs

ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I'm crap in the kitchen so may steal some of your ideas!! :) #MarvMondays
ReplyDeleteWe've had chicken stir fry tonight. Last night , supposed to have lamb curry but instead just lamb in the slow cooker with some rice and some veg! You mention Edith has been fussy lately, my little one as well! So hard knowing what to make her!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work! You did so well with your meal plan. I think it's such a good idea to plan the week ahead. I find I always eat healthier too! : )
ReplyDeleteSteph x. Hello, Steph Blog
Oooh, that's amazing, you're so good to actually stick to a mean plan like that! I'm rubbish at it. We had sausage casserole tonight, with mash. I have no clue what we'll have tomorrow! You should pop the recipes in for these. (Totally so I can borrow!) :) Thanks for linking up with the #bigpinklink
ReplyDeleteReally good ideas! You did very well to stick to a budget of £30. I was very proud of myself for doing a whole chicken in the slow cooker last Sunday - it was really good! #BigPinkLink
ReplyDeleteMay steal your meal plan! Every single week we say we're going to sit down and do one and never have haha. Thanks for linking up to #MarvMondays. Kaye xo
