Meal Planning

Weekly Meal Plan #6

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife May 29, 2017May 25, 2017
May 29, 2017May 25, 2017

Some people believe meal planning is a massive effort but it’s such a simple task that saves you so much more effort during the week. Taking around 15-20 minutes to decide on your meals and constructing a grocery list takes less time than coming up with a new meal every night and having to do multiple trips during the week to pick up ingredients. If you don’t weekly meal plan already, you should give it a go and see what you think!

MEAL PLANNING TIP

Each week I am going to share one meal planning/grocery budget tip to help you through this process.

Cook double and freeze – If you are planning on making a meal that freezes well like bolognese, consider making a double batch and freeze the extras.  Meals like these are great to have in the freezer to defrost for easy meal options.  Bolognese can be reheated and added to spaghetti, stir through pasta, sprinkle with cheese and pop into the oven for a pasta bake, or simply have it on toast.

MONDAY

Grilled Chicken and salad – Super easy as Mondays are one of our busy nights. I cut my chicken breasts in half to help make the cooking process quicker and my girls and I don’t eat a full chicken breast.

RECIPE: To feed my family of 5, I buy 3 chicken breasts and cut them in half to make 6 fillets.  Mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, salt and pepper, brush over chicken breasts. Grill on medium-high. Grill for 4-8 minutes each side until cooked through. Recipe for the image below available from cafe delites.

TUESDAY

Was my hubby’s birthday so we went out for dinner with family.

WEDNESDAY

Omelettes – Using up vegetables I have in the fridge. This dish is a good way of adding extra vegetables to an athlete’s diet, providing at least two of the recommended five a day portions. The eggs supply protein to help re-build muscles after intense exercise while the vegetables add fibre, vitamins A and C, and potassium.

THURSDAY

Savoury Sausages with Pineapple – This is a really easy way to cook sausages.  Basically put them into a casserole dish, top them with vegetables and pour over a sauce. While it’s cooking in the oven make mashed potato and additional vegetables.  My family love this!

FRIDAY

Homemade fish and chips – I do my food shop on the weekend, so I did quickly duck into the grocery store to buy some fresh fish fillets and…. I don’t make my own chips, I just purchase them frozen from the supermarket and heated them in the oven.

RECIPE: Jamie Oliver’s Fish and Cheat’s Chips with Tarragon Mushy Peas

SATURDAY

Chicken Pad Thai – This is a delicious weekend kinda comfort food.

Chicken Noodle Soup – We are all feeling a little unwell with sniffles.

BAKING

Dried Fruit & Coconut Slice – I love having slice in my house as it’s the perfect snack for morning or afternoon tea. This slice is quite easy to make and I think the dried fruit makes it extra tasty.

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
