NOTES -

*  I might swap meals around depending on the day and weather

*  All meals are made from scratch unless otherwise stated

*  Some of the meals have already been made and frozen

*  The roast chicken came from Coles on clearance.  Darren cut each chicken into 6 pieces.

*  The sides might be changed depending on what we are picking from the garden,  the weather or what needs using up.

*  Get your own is an easy meal night when everyone gets there own whatever.  This is the family's chance to cook for me ( my night off ).

*  We lost a freezer full of food almost two months ago.  Due to this,  our meat options are limited.

*  This menu is based around the girls being at work and Uni or not always being at home   Wednesday and Fridays are diet days for one family member so calories are limited for them.  They will have a healthier option of the same meal.

*  All the meals are based on what I've bought on my monthly shopping day,  our stockpile,  our garden and weekly top ups of milk,  fruit and veg.

  1. Cool thanks for the plan. I have one vegetarian in our family which is making meal planning a little bit challenging at times. I can plan for three of us but I also need to plan for my daughter, especially when we are having Honey Mustard Chicken etc.

    1. You might need to get your daughter involved in menu planning. She could research recipes too.

  4. Interesting seeing other's meal plans. I am still experimenting with meals as DH has an unusual medical problem, that has recently been diagnosed, and diet changes will help. I like the "get your own" option, ours was "scratch tea night" when you scratched around the fridge, cupboard, freezer and made it into a meal :).

    1. No, we eat the same sort of things each day. Toast, cereal, porridge, toasted sandwiches, eggs on toast, soup etc etc. Things we always have on hand.
