I love meal planning. My husband used to do the cooking before I was on mat leave and we seemed to waste so much food. Now I do the cooking and meal prep/online shopping so there is no food waste. I love to see an empty fridge at the end of the week.

I just plan in a notepad. I like to plan one meal a week which I can double up on and put the left overs in the freezer, one meal from the freezer (usually the oldest thing in there to keep it rotated), 2 new recipes to keep things fresh and avoid eating the same meals week in week out, 2 favourites and then we are usually at my parents or in laws one day a week.

I have a scrap book where I have put all our favourite meals so I look in there for inspiration if needed. I also try and cook 2 veggie meals a week as we are trying to cut down our meat consumption and 1 fish dish (I find this the hardest so any inspiration would be great!).

This week we are having:
Fajitas
Steak, sweet potato wedges and broccoli
Leeks and cheese sauce
Salt and szechuan pepper tofu
Parmesan chicken
Spicy meatballs

Peanut91 my fridge is also bare by Monday morning when I go to Aldi.
I love your idea of making 2 new recipes a week, I tend to fall into a rut!!
This week
Monday chilli
Tuesday Chinese pork and rice
Wednesday beans on toast
Thursday out
Friday pizza
Saturday pasta
Sunday roast

Tonight - Chicken breast with new potatoes and a sort of warm vegetable salsa thing. Maybe peas or some other veg too.

Friday - Chinese style sweet and sour (crispy) tofu dish with egg fried rice and pac choi.

Saturday - Canilini bean and coriander fritters with new potatoes, broccoli & carrot salad

Sunday -- not sure yet. Thinking either pasta or maybe a prawn curry. Depends on exercise plans for the day and hoe much time I have in the evening.

Tonight: jackfruit pulled pork burgers
Tomorrow: pizza and chips before a night out
Sunday: unsure, leaving that to DP
Monday: garlic mushroom creamy pasta
Tuesday: Dahl and pitta bread
Wednesday: Thai vegetable fried rice
Thursday: pitta, hummous and falafel

I started meal planning again in January and have been doing quite well. I find it helps prevent overspending and stops to many frozen to oven dinners. We also found some new recipes we liked as a family which is always a plus. This week isn't one of our best and runs from a Thursday
Thursday - Chinese style rice and chicken
Friday - dairy and gluten free macaroni cheese
Saturday - McDonald's
Sunday - cottage pie and veg
Monday - egg, chips and beans
Tuesday - green Thai curry
Wednesday - soup probably lentil and ham

I used to hate meal planning. Well I still do. I forget ingredients, or change my mind due to time constraints or kids needing to be picked up and dropped off and no time. Two weeks ago I signed up for a gusto box and we have already had so many varied meals. They give precise ingredients and deliver to your door. Each week the menu changes and you have over twenty options to chose from. It takes me hardly anytime to chose what we want for the week. Then I just sit back and wait for the box to arrive. The recipe cards are great and even my 13 year old can follow it and cook an amazing meal from scratch. cook.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=GINA19992947&utm_source=weblink If you use this link you can try out your first box at 60% off and then 30% off your next two boxes.

Am putting into the mix mega prep over the weekend along with the meal planning o yesterday made tonight’s lasagne and tomorrow’s bean soup and tonight will
