I am loving doing up this meal plan each Sunday.
The best thing about it is that it takes out the worry (ie. staring at the fridge and cupboard) all week about what to make and consequently we eat better (not that we eat bad normally). Also, it saves money as I don't find myself at the supermarket every second day.
I used to do a weekly meal plan a few years ago but just got bored of doing it. I am anticipating that I will get bored again eventually but the difference this time will be that I have a record of what I did so, essentially, I can just start again from my first meal plan.
This week we have the school athletics carnival on Wednesday so, from that day, I am making meals that I know will be eaten as I anticipate that there will be some tired kidlets

An easy start to the week. Yummy
Tuesday

This one looks really good. I haven't made it before but I figure you can't go wrong with cashews! I will probably add some vege's to the slow cooker at some stage - maybe baby corn, capsicum and spinach leaves. And I plan to serve it with noodles (only because we are having rice the night before)
Wednesday

Another recipe that I haven't tried before. I am thinking that I'll do mushroom for the adults, and carrot and potato for the boys as mushrooms are not on their favourite vegetable list.
There's quite a few suggestions in the comments section that I am going to have a good read over before I start this one.

The picture I've posted and the picture that comes up from the link do not match. It's a pinterest thing but I like the picture above better than the one on the link - simple as that.
This dinner will be yummy with mash

I think I could make this recipe with my eye's closed. Its almost foolproof.
Foolproof risotto is what it should be called.
It's originally from a Family circle cookbook - Quick short Chicken recipes.
I generally do pumpkin and spinach instead of leek. I also add pine nuts and bacon or ham if I have it.
It is super easy and super delicious.
Have a great week.
