This family meal plan will help take the chaos out of your week, and breathe a little calmness into dinner time instead – plus it looks really delicious!
My weeks can get very busy, and I find that creating a meal plan – even if it’s just a guide – helps to take the stress and chaos out of my week. A 7 day meal plan allows me to organise my groceries around this plan too, which prevents last minute trips to the supermarket.

TUESDAY
Lamb, Capsicum and Onion Skewers – These look absolutely delicious and are a great way to use lamb! Serve with salad or mash to bulk out this meal.

WEDNESDAY
Slow Cooker Asian Chicken Salad – I love using my slow cooker because it really takes the hassle out of dinner times for me, but I don’t want to eat hot dishes in summer. This meal offers me the convenience of my slow cooker, but with the crisp freshness of a dish that suits the warmer weather perfectly.

THURSDAY
Sweet Potato Beef Nachos – I love, love, love sweet potato chips and can just imagine the delicious flavour complimenting the nacho mince!

FRIDAY
Parmesan Baked Fish Fingers – Friday night fish & chips, yes please! These fish fingers are easy to make and are sure to be a hit with the kids.

SATURDAY
Bangers and Mash – simple meat and veggie meals are my favourite, and you can’t go past a good bangers and mash! I cooked basic beef sausages and served them with my delicious Thermomix Mashed Potato recipe (it’s so yummy) and some steamed veggies.
