Each week before I go food shopping, I think of ideas for lunch and snacks throughout the week. Some weeks I have similar snacks and lunches, although it’s nice to have a look through some recipe books or websites and get some new ideas. Especially with the weather changes, it’s a good time to think of something new as it warms up. Here are some of my favourites that are Healthy, Quick and Easy to prepare but most importantly yummy!!

As you know meal planning is one of my sanity savers, it helps me to feel organised knowing that I have all I need to cook dinner on hand and not be wondering what to cook for dinner and having to duck out to the shops last minute. Plus it also helps to me keep on top of the family budget and reduce grocery costs.
