I work three days a week in the city so we always have a freezer-friendly meal on my work days.
This weeks meal plan
MONDAY – Pad Thai noodles with prawns and vegetables using Marion’s kit
TUESDAY – Barbequed thyme chicken, green beans, jacket potatoes
WEDNESDAY – Ratatouille, sausage and feta bake (frozen, defrosted then reheated), served with ciabatta bread (recipe available in the Frost Bite e-book)
THURSDAY – Spinach and ricotta cannelloni (frozen, defrosted and cooked), served with a green salad
FRIDAY – Nonna Minotto’s veal schnitzels (frozen, defrosted and cooked), served with coleslaw from the local deli and garlic bread
SATURDAY – Barbeque lamb fillets with mint yoghurt, plus roast potatoes and Fat Mole Salad (one of my favourite salads!)
SUNDAY – Leftovers
BAKING – Orange, chocolate and pistachio cake for morning tea at work (recipe will be available in the Frost Bite sweet book, available in late 2014), Anzac cookies for my daughters’ lunchboxes

Thanks for the mention Susan (and Kat!) x
I always wonder why your meal planning only includes one meal a day. I am an Indian, and a mother of two preschoolers. I have to plan breakfast, lunch, dinner, school snack box. On most days, there’s always something made specially kid friendly in all the meals in addition to the adult meal. Phew!! Isn’t that a lot ? What advice would you have for me ?
Wow yes Kakoli that is a lot! I would suggest doing the same as you do for one meal only using the same method for all your meals.
