I need some inspiration. In love cooking and had a pretty good routine going before I got pregnant with number 2 and simultaneously went off food and had zero energy.
I worked part time so on my days off I'd do some kind of recipe like a fish pie or toad in the hole, lasagne, curry or sometimes something a bit more involved. On my work days it would be something in the slow cooker or something I could pre-prepare in the morning and heat up/finish off later (I was good, not sure what happened?!) I used to plan meals 10/14 days in advance and do a big online shop.
I like my son to eat the same as us wherever possible and I never tended to use frozen stuff or anything convenient like old El Paso. I don't have anything against them - infact this is where I think I may be going wrong.
Anyway, cut to now and I'm just rubbish! I hardly ever do a big shop, I can't get inspired by food anymore and with a newborn baby to deal with it's all just a bit too much effort. We keep getting takeaways
Also now my oldest has started school he comes out starving so I feel like I need to feed him there and then!
I need ideas of what everyone eats for dinner in an average week. I don't feel I have the time or energy to be getting the recipe books out 5 times a week now. Simple family food.
