Meal Planning

Meal planning can go a long way to cut down on waste- food, packaging and money. I am horrified at some of the food that we throw out so here is our plan for the week:

Breakfasts: home made bread with honey, smoothies (with swiss chard from garden, yoghurt and fruit), steel cut oatmeal, pancakes on Saturday, eggs on Sunday, coffee

Lunches: leftovers, barley with greens and eggs.

Desserts (mainly for Caia): yoghurt, berries, pineapple, watermelon.

Monday- pizza (we have chorizo, pineapple, ham, mushroom and pine nuts waiting), salad (cucumber, tomato, carrots, lettuce). Caia will eat.

Tuesday- leftover bean dip, pitas, tomato and olive salad (with red peppers), with chicken skewers (in freezer). Caia will eat.

Wednesday- BBQ burgers with cucumber/ tomato salad (burgers and buns in freezer). May visit farmers market for fruit and veg for Friday. Add quesadilla for Caia.

Thursday- Frittata with mushrooms, red pepper, chevre, pancetta and home made bread (in freezer). Caia will eat.

Friday- fish with potatoes and veg (need to buy fish and veg with next food purchase). Caia will eat.

Meal planning on Thursday night for Friday/ Saturday shop at farmer's market/ Main Street bike ride/ Costco (following week if necessary). Need to plan Saturday/ Sunday lunch too.
