This meal plan comes to us from reader Julia, whos meal plans always make my mouth water a bit! I feel as though this family-friendly meal plan has a great balance of stuff for the kids alongside meals that Mum and Dad can really enjoy – including Honey Mustard Pork Chops that have a 5-year-olds tick of approval! You can also alter the recipes to help them suit your family, for example you can lessen the amount of curry paste to make a curry less spicy. I hope you and your family enjoy these meals!
