Here is a weekly meal plan submitted by one of my lovely readers, Tracy. Her meal plan looks so delicious while still being simple enough to mean you wont need to spend all night in the kitchen!
MEAL PLANNING TIP
This week isn’t really a tip, but something I found and thought I’d share. I was glancing through the Woolworths catalogue and found Boost Juice Bars now have a frozen fruit range. They are on special this week $8 save $1, not a huge saving but I wouldn’t mind trying them to compare the quality to the other brands.
Some other good savings:
- Pork Loin Cutlets $14kg, save $6.99kg
- Shortcut Bacon $12kg, save $5kg
- Double Smoked Ham $22kg, save $6kg
- Smoked Cod Fillets $10kg, save $5kg
- Crumpet Breads are half price

MONDAY
Pasta Bolognese – I love bolognese as it’s a good way to use up any vegetables in your fridge that are about to expire.
RECIPE: Chicken Bolognese
TUESDAY
Thai Chicken Curry with rice & roti bread – great winter dish
RECIPE: Simple Thai Chicken Curry
WEDNESDAY
Mum’s minestrone – Tracy said she makes a bean-free version. However, I found it difficult to find a loved recipe for this, so I’ve included one with beans.
RECIPE: Minestrone Soup
THURSDAY
Honey Soy Chicken with rice & veggies – Unlike Chinese Honey Chicken, this recipe I’ve included doesn’t have batter. Instead the chicken is coated in a honey sauce.
RECIPE: Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken
FRIDAY
Fend for Yourself Friday – Love this term Tracy has used! I like making something easy on Fridays that the kids can easily whip up too, like pizza or toasties.
RECIPE: Chorizo & Salami Pizza
SATURDAY
Burgers & wedges – You’ll love this hearty curry flavoured burger filled with healthy vegetables, peanut butter and coriander.
RECIPE: Curried Vegetable Burgers
SUNDAY
Tracy hasn’t included a recipe for Sunday night but I’ve added a roast dish in here. I love Sunday roasts and they aren’t as difficult as most people think!
RECIPE: Roast Pork with Caramelised Apples and Onion
BAKING
Tracy didn’t include a baking item so I’ve included in my own recipe for a bread.
RECIPE: Banana & Maple Syrup Bread
