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
Chicken Kiev – you can make your Chicken Kiev from scratch, but I simply purchased ours from the deli at Woolworths and it was delicious! I teamed the chicken with mashed potato and steamed veggies for a quick, simple, and really tasty dinner.
TUESDAY
Creamy Chorizo Pasta – A super easy and absolutely delicious pasta recipe. Not only can you whip up this dinner quickly, but it is bound to be a hit with everyone.
WEDNESDAY
Shepherd’s Pie – Shepherd’s pie is a classic winter meal and a favourite in our house. This recipe has tons of hidden veggies to keep those fussy kids healthy and happy.
THURSDAY
Eggs On Toast – Some days just call for a light fuss free meal for dinner. So it is eggs on toast for everyone tonight
FRIDAY
Italian Seared Beef – This Jamie Oliver recipe combines the yummy flavours of beef, pesto and pine nuts. I would served this with some steamed greens and potato wedges.
SATURDAY
Pulled Beef Burgers with Chilli Mayo – This is a great meal to put on to cook for days at home. Leave the meat to slowly cook away. It’s a nice change to the traditional beef patty burgers I’d normally cook.
SUNDAY
Fish Tacos – Jam packed full of flavour, these fish tacos are simple but delectable.
BAKING
Chocolate Brownie Cookies – What could be better than the gooey goodness of a brownie with the chocolatey chewiness of a cookie? They are mouth-wateringly delicious!
