Meal Planning Monday 03/01/2022

Gosh it has been a while since we did any sort of Meal Plan, it really has been a while since we even cared what we ate.

But we really have comfort eaten for too long and it’s time to get a bit more control back with our food.

Even if that just means being a bit more organised with our meals then so be it.

I am not aiming to achieve anything rash.

But we do need to be a bit more organised.

We need to eat proper meals and less junk.

Its time to replace these snacks as much as I love them and they bring me comfort it is time to eat better for us, for the kids, for us all.

Monday our week has started with us having a meal with family which was a roast and some lovely puddings.

Tuesday we will be having home made pizzas.

Wednesday it will be a lazy lasagne.

Thursday will be a beef stew.

Friday will be very traditional as we will be having fish and chips.

Saturday will be Chinese chicken and rice.

Sunday we will have a roast, I am not sure what meat yet but it will be a roast of some sort.

Breakfasts are going to be a choice of porridge, cereal and toast this week.

Lunches I really want to change up in the house.

Both the boys have a packed lunch and honestly after all these years I am sick to the teeth of what the boys have. The sandwiches, etc. I would like to make them a little different and am not sure yet what I will be doing as I do have a couple of days as one boy is back on Wednesday and one is back on Thursday. But I am definitely looking for some other ideas to do for their lunches so am open for suggestions.

But for Mr L and myself this week it will be pastas or couscous for lunches. Until I can work out what to do for different lunch ideas for us as well.

I am hoping if I can make each meal a bit different we will all be a bit happier with our food and with trying different things.

It is going to be subtle changes but there will be changes, hopefully for the better as well.

As we really are in a rut at the moment with our food. So I am hoping this will push us out of that zone.

Any meal or lunch suggestions please do send them my way.
