Menu plan






I made up this menu planner printable tonight. I'm still not sure if it's *right* for me, but it's a start. I prefer not to plan to have xyz meal on a certain night. Though some nights I do - Fridays I usually have my folks over, so that means a different meal, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are our scary nights - so usually organise to have dinners in the slow cooker or pressure cooker on those nights. So it's a bit hard to do something that'll set some meals in stone, and not others. However, we are in school holidays at the moment - so anything goes! Because we are gluten/dairy free, I find it easier to cook extra at dinners that we can then have for lunches, otherwise I just don't know what to eat!

So on my printable - I have the meal plan on one side, and then lots of lines for shopping list on the other. I did it as a foldable as without it I would never have had enough room!!

Apricot chicken

I made apricot chicken in the slow cooker. Served with brown rice. I based it on a recipe from the Healthy Chef, though I used tinned apricots rather than fresh. I also added carrot and sweet potato which I blitzed in my Ninja (food processor) to make it extra saucy and add more veggies without the kids noticing. It was great, the kids both had seconds (which is unusual for my son!), and it also freezes well!
