It has been a tough week with the weather being so cold and then the snow. I had been watching the weather forecast, a massive shop arrived at 7am on Monday 26th February with enough planned food for the next 7 days. It was the right decision as well.
I am trying not to waste as much food so we have a few meals that will use up bits from last weeks meals. I am ed up of finding half a used feta that I have to chuck it is so wasteful.
Friday -Fish, Chips and Peas all from the freezer
Saturday - Frozen Pizza with tomato salad
Sunday - Lamb Shanks got them on the Monday and froze them. These will be slow roasted with lots of veggies
Monday - Bacon and Mushroom Pasta - this will use up the leftover pesto. The boys with have pasta, bacon and tomato sauce

Tuesday - Crispy Greek Style Pie to use up the feta cheese. The boys will have some little parcels based on the below. Both served with salad

Chicken mozzarella pesto filo parcels
Wednesday - Sausage and leek hash for us all served with kale or the adults and peas and sweetcorn for the boys.

Thursday - Mustard Salmon with beets and lentils served with broccoli. The boys will have a simple fish pie with broccoli

I'm trying to reduce waste here with things like salad ,half tubs yogurt and cream etc ... I really have to concentrate at it!!
ReplyDeleteI am totally the same and it’s driving me mad. Trying to get better x
DeleteI also hate wasting food. I've taken to buying less stuff, even if it means shopping more frequently, but at least I don't have to chuck stuff out because there's so much stuff half has gone bad.
ReplyDeleteAgree totally. We now buy a lot from our farm shop so I can get exactly what I need x
DeleteYou had yummies to eat for sure with such a nice Mel planner. I love chips and fish and I'd eat it several times over the week...disadvantages of not having a meal planner oh my! Bet I'll need to get one.

Hahaha I love fish and chips. Mr MC&W likes to try new food as do I so we have lots of new ideas. Untill I get bored of thinking about it xx
DeleteBacon and mushroom pasta sounds yummy! X
ReplyDeleteI love your meal plans! We have pasta on ours this week too :)
ReplyDeleteI resorted to shopping twice a week to stop wasting so much food. Unfortunately my other half won’t eat anything that’s been frozen (unless bought frozen) so it makes buying things too far in advance very difficult!
ReplyDeleteI have never been organised enough to make a meal planner, I just tend to wing it, am going to take a leaf from you and give it a try#tackicletuesday@_karendennis
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agree about trying to minimize the food waste. We’ve been trying to use up the food in our freezer to compensate.
ReplyDeleteMmm the mustard salmon sounds lovely! Some great ideas, lovely post x #tacticalTuesday
