  1. Thanks Wendy for posting this, I'm just about to do my menu plan and shopping so this helps with ideas,
    Can I ask, what is Nasi Goreng?
    Was the Royal show good value?

    1. Nasi Goreng is something Megan learnt to cook at school. It's like a fried rice with shrimps. We omit the shrimps and add two finely diced chicken fillets, cooked egg and some fish sauce with lots of veg.

      We try to go the the Melb show every few years. We've even been to the Sydney Easter show. I don't think the rides are good value as they cost $8 - $10 maybe even more ( I stopped looking ). I did pick up some cake decorating moulds. I bought two show bags for $10. They were Taste .com and Super Food Ideas.

  3. Hi Wendy, Love your menu plan and taken some ideas from it, to change up my menu plan in my home! When you have kfc drumsticks, or honey soy chicken, lemon chicken, sausages etc how many do you allow per person? I have hubby and 3 boys between 14-19 who could easily have 5/6 drumsticks/ sausages per meal. They are growing boys, and my goodness can they eat!! They simply cant have 1 or 2 pieces and load up with veggies or salad because 1 hr later, their in the fridge and pantry looking for more food to eat! Kerryn

    1. There are three of us girls and Darren in my home. Sausages we have 6 per meals for the four of us. Darren gets 2, I have one ( not a big sausage fan ) and the girls get 1 1/2 each.

      Drumsticks - we all get one each unless they are a little small then Darren gets 2.

      Honey mustard chicken I use two fillets cut up finely to stretch further.

      We do have lots of veg on the plate and small amounts of meat as per health guidelines. I know not all families can do this. Are your boys really hungry or are they eating because they are bored ? 5 - 6 drumsticks / sausages sounds like way too much. Could you reduce it slightly, increase the veg intake and offer fruit or homemade popcorn as snacks after tea ? Or even put a plate of buttered bread / toast on the dinner table for them to help themselves.
