Another week has zipped by, this one the first since Daisy finished Nursery permanently! It’s been a good week, and we’ve enjoyed lots of time together which has been lovely. I love meal planning, and have written 4 weeks worth of meal plans in one go, to save me some time and effort now I have Daisy at home more.
Meal planning helps us to have low food waste which is really important to me. I feel pretty rubbish if we have to throw something away, usually thinking of the environmental impact and the fact that other people struggle to afford food around the world. I am always trying to take steps to make sure we are avoiding overspending on groceries.
I’m keeping it nice and simple again this week. We’ve got a *Hello Fresh for 5 dinners, and a lunch. I’ve planned 2 more dinners and am looking forward to avoiding takeaways for another week!
I’ve been meal planning for well over 2 years now pretty much every single week. It is a great way for us to save money and I really enjoy having a nice variety of meals to choose from each week.
Each week other lovely bloggers link up their meal plans, to try and share recipes around with one another, inspire each other and hopefully drive a little bit of extra traffic too! I really enjoy running this linky and seeing what meals everyone is cooking that week.

Go you planning 4 weeks worth of meal plans in one go. I am not organised enough for that yet. I love the sound of the Hello Fresh meals especially the Sausage Bolognese Risotto. It certainly sounds a bit different. x

It was really handy actually. Definitely going to try and do this more often! That bolognese risotto was actually delicious! So so flavoursome!
