So, it's been a while since you've seen a meal plan over here (in fact, it's been a while since I even shared a meal plan over on Meal Planning Made Easy if I'm honest but I promise that the lack of meal planning posts isn't because I haven't been doing it, it's more that I've just been so busy and genuinely haven't had time to share our meal plans with you.I'm really conscious about what we're eating at the moment as I really do want to get into better shape. Thanks to a mix of healthier eating and exercise, I'm back to my pre-lockdown weight which admittedly, wasn't a healthy weight … [Read more...]
2 meals from one – Mexican Pasta Bake and Instant Pot Enchiladas…
So, last week I made a big batch of Mexican style Mince that I then made into a Mexican Pasta Bake for tea on Thursday with the leftovers transformed into super quick Instant Pot Beef Enchiladas for tea on Friday!I thought you might like to see how I make my Mexican Style Mince and then a couple of the ways that I turn it into meals - I absolutely love it made into a pasta bake and regularly make a giant pasta bake just so we can eat it for lunchtime leftovers too! It's one of those meals that's absolutely made for batch cooking because it freezes so well and it's also one where you can … [Read more...]
6 new meal planning templates to help you keep track….
Today I'm sharing six new meal plan templates for you to use to keep track of your weekly meal plans. 
I've been really good lately about sharing my weekly meal plans over on Meal Planning Made Easy which is my much often neglected meal planning blog. Today's weekly meal plan post is up now if you want to have a nosey at what we're going to be eating this week.I did kind of go of the meal planning rails when Lockdown hit in March and ended up spending way more than usual on food mainly because of a lack of time to plan and to actually cook the meals I wanted to cook but … [Read more...]
Hello Fresh – overhyped and overpriced?
Everywhere I look right now online, there's an influencer telling me how good Hello Fresh is and how my life will be so much better if I subscribed. I usually just scroll on by but a couple of weeks ago, I was too weak to fight it anymore and I ordered myself a box.(in case you don't know what Hello Fresh is, it's a weekly meal delivery service where you choose your meals and every ingredient you need is delivered all measured out ready to go with a super-easy to follow recipe card) I know what you're thinking - no one who blogs about money saving and living a frugal … [Read more...]
Homemade Macaroni Cheese Recipe….
My homemade Macaroni Cheese recipe is what I'd call my signature dish if I ever decided to audition for Masterchef (not that I would with my lack of culinary skills) because everyone who tries it, loves it!I can guarantee that if I ask either of the kids what they want to see on our meal plan, they'll ALWAYS ask for homemade macaroni cheese and I'm pretty sure that 90% of the meal plans that I've ever shared on here will have featured this meal in one form or another.We've had it with cooked broccoli or cauliflower added to it, with crispy bacon served chopped up on top, with … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Tomato Sauce (with optional hidden veg)….
Instant Pot tomato sauce with hidden veg is your secret weapon when it comes to meal planning!I've shared my slow cooker tomato sauce recipe loads of times because it's been a key ingredient in so many of our meals since the first time I made it. It's versatile, easy to make and super cheap so I make it whenever I'm having a big batch cooking session and freeze it in different sized portions.I have some small-sized portions that I defrost when we need pizza toppings or as a topping for chicken (kind of like Hunters chicken) and larger-sized portions for things like pasta … [Read more...]
