Literally just done the week meal plan. For me and 4 yo DS who has a light (warm) tea at nursery- it’s a bit blah because we’re moving in a couple of weeks so trying to use up freezer stuff-
Mon “picnic supper” with hummus, olives, bread, crudités, ham, cheese etc
Tues- Pasta with sausage and tomato sauce for him/ puttanesca with olives, anchovy and capers for me. Salad for both of us.
Weds- Same as Tuesday. Might do a cheese based sauce rather than tomato.
Thurs - a sort of-chicken saag made with frozen spinach and coconut cream to make it milder for DS. Probably with rice and cucumber salad.
Fri- the saag again - with homemade flatbread instead of rice to jazz it up.
Saturday- Freezer tea (some frozen protein, potato waffles and frozen veg)
Sunday- bacon and leek risotto with whatever veg is in the fridge roasted and put on the side ... DS hates risotto so he might get the same stuff mashed into a jacket potato and put back into the oven (like a big potato skin).
We always have the same breakfast options:
- unlimited fruit
- low sugar cereal
- Greek yogurt
- toast and jam or cheese toastie
- brioche
- boiled eggs
He usually picks two or three of those to make a breakfast plate.
I don’t eat lunch at work - might grab a snack from the fridge around 2. Weekend lunchtimes tends to be stuff like frozen pizza/ beans on toast/ picnic style or fish finger sandwiches, with a random veg and fruit so he doesn’t get scurvy....
