SUNDAY

Slow Cooker Beef Casserole – Sunday nights should be easy and relaxing. I usually slow cook on Sundays, because I bake so much that I want a night off from cooking a big family meal and standing in the kitchen. Prepare in the morning, throw it all into the slow cooker, and enjoy your Sunday.

  Find my Quick Slow Cooker Beef Casserole recipe here.

BAKING

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins – my kids are on schools holidays now, so I did a bike bake up of these delicious muffins to keep them satisfied. These muffins are also freezable, so I was able to do a triple batch and freeze heaps for a later date.

✨ Task: Baking Day
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always add something baked to the lunchboxes like a muffin or biscuits. I usually always bake with the intention to freeze. I place the frozen muffin/biscuits into lunch boxes that morning and it's always defrosted by morning tea time. I spend an hour or two in the kitchen every few weeks to stock up the freezer. My favourites are coconut & pineapple muffins, 100+ cookies, and ham muffins 👩‍🍳🍪

✨ Task: Wardrobe Declutter
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our new year refresh series, we turned around our coat hangers to see at the beginning of the next season what we haven’t worn (my hanger method). I forgot to take a photo but you will see the number of clothes I haven’t worn between then and now in my stories. There were quite a few. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have since gone through and purged them and because I have to be honest with you, I have put on weight in this past year and choosing clothes to wear in the mornings has been a little depressing as there are quite a few that don’t fit me. It has only been 24 hours since I tidied up my wardrobe but waking up this morning and picking my clothes was already a brighter and easier start to my day 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LOL, and yes I colour code my clothes.

✨ Task: Create A Meal Plan
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each week I plan my meals for the upcoming week- what most people call meal or menu planning. I have been doing this for a good 18 years and I can't recommend it enough! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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. Plus, I’m not a huge fan of visiting the grocery store more than once a week 🛒
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been online grocery shopping for nearly 2 years now. I love it, I rarely see the inside the grocery store these days. I do a local pick up and use my laundry basket with legs instead of bags. Makes unpacking when in the kitchen so much easier 😊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you meal plan? If not will you give it a try? If you do, why do you love it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't forget to share your photo!
