BENEFITS OF MEAL PLANNING
Each week I plan my meals for the following week, this is called meal or menu planning. Some think it’s not worth it, but it really is a simple task that takes 5-10 minutes to plan one week of meals. The money and time that these five minutes save me throughout my week, makes it well worth the effort.

MONDAY
Lazy Chicken Kiev Tray Bake – I love a good tray-bake recipe, there is something very satisfying about cooking dinner all on the one tray in the oven! This easier alternative to the traditional chicken kiev looks delicious and so much easier!
TUESDAY
Curried Salmon Rice Pie – a delicious and incredibly easy to make curried rice pie that is an absolute favourite in my household! Serve with a salad on the side.
WEDNESDAY
Hot Dogs – Sometime when we feel like having takeaway for dinner, I will make a homemade version that is hopefully a little bit healthier, it definitely is healthier for the budget! Add some hot chips to make it more filling or a fresh garden salad if you want some greens too.
THURSDAY
Warm Beef Salad – salad doesn’t have to go off the menu when the weather gets cooler. Instead start serving up salad that have warm elements in it, like the recipe below with grilled steak pieces and corn. Roasted vegetable pieces tossed with your fresh salad ingredients is another great option for a warm salad.
FRIDAY
Pumpkin Soup – this is a very easy soup recipe to make, and roasting the pumpkin first really gives it a lovely flavour. Serve with a nice crusty bread.
SATURDAY
Mexican Pasta Bake – a delicious Mexican inspired beef mince and pasta bake recipe, with a that is quick and easy to prepare. Serve with a garden salad.
SUNDAY
Corn and Zucchini Frittata – A delicious and easy dish to make, and the leftover slices are great to use for lunch. Served with some steamed veggies and a nice bread.
BAKING
Chocolate Raspberry Muffins – a yummy muffin recipe, that is full of chocolate flavour with a burst of raspberries. They are easy to make and so delicious for a quick snack or as a lunchbox item.
