Then once a month over on YouTube I will share a week of family meal ideas, and a grocery haul. And then over here on the blog I will share a meal plan each week and a recipe post that will show you how to get the most from your meal plan. And if you follow us over on Instagram, I occasionally share our food in stories (when I remember!)
Top tip...get used to saving your leftovers. Sundays left over mash can become Mondays fishcakes, or a shepherds pie topping.
Recipe links...
Turkey Curry (coming soon)
Cranberry Rice (coming soon)
Homemade Naan, Homemade Garlic Bread and Pizza Dough use this dough recipe. Full recipes for these will be coming soon.
Using the meal plan in the above order will mean you are able to batch cook and use up leftovers as follows:
Split the mince into 3, it will be for 3 meals this week.
Any left over mash from Sunday can be used on Mondays shepherds pie
Any veggies left over from Monday can go in Tuesdays curry
When you make the dough for Tueday's naan, triple the recipe, split and refrigerate for later in the week.
When you cook Wednesdays mince, cook double and before adding herbs and spices for a bolognaise split it into 2 and refrigerate the second lot for tomorrows chilli.
Linking up with Katy over at katykicker, go check her out for even more meal plan ideas.
When we have a roast dinner I always try to use the leftovers for the next day.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the curry and the cranberry rice! It sounds so festive. x
I am so bad at that even with the meal plan. Your week of food sounds great and chilli filled tacos what a great idea
ReplyDeleteIt's shocking how much food we can waste isn't it?! I love your meal plan and Wednesday is a family favourite of ours. I must get around to blogging about our weekly meal plans. x
ReplyDeleteI don't make big meals because I have a very picky eater in my house but when I do the leftovers often get eaten by the teenager. I can proudly say (Most) food doesn't get wasted here. 😊
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great ideas here! I'm trying to have more recipes and meals where we use up leftovers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up x
This is really good, nice to see the leftovers and extras being used
ReplyDeleteI really need to plan our meals better - I hate wasting food but keep doing it :( Kaz
