Happy Friday, I hope your week has been a good one. We’re settling into the routine of school, and I’m just trying to make the most of every day to ensure that I am maximising the child free time so I can be present for my family in the afternoons and on the weekends. I’m loving it so far! Sorry that I missed last week, we had a cold and I was feeling rough so just skipped it and went for some easy freezer dinners!
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.
This week I am using up some Simply Cook meal kits that I have in my pantry. You can get a *FREE Simply Cook box for yourself (new customers only). I love the kits, as they help me make a delicious meal, and they’re not too expensive either!
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.

Hope your feeling better. I love beef stroganoff but never cook it and don't know why. I love mac & cheese so need to have a go at that too. Enjoy your week x
