Good morning – Happy Friday! I hope you’re keeping well. This week I’ve got a lovely meal plan, with lots of recipes that I’m in the final stages of testing! I’m looking forward to photographing lots of great dinners, and writing up the posts over the Christmas period.
Last week we used Hello Fresh, which was great, and if you’ve never used them you can (*Grab £46 off your first 3 boxes) This week I’m looking forward to being a little more hands on with my cooking, and practicing some of my recipes again!
Meal planning helps us to have low food waste which is really important to me. I feel really sad if we have to throw something in the bin, thinking of both the environmental impact and the fact that other people struggle to afford food. I am always trying to take steps to make sure we are avoiding overspending on groceries.
I’ve been meal planning for several years now pretty much weekly. 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.

I don't think I've ever tried Spag. bol in the slow cooker. I really don't use mine often enough.

Great week of meals. I really feel like I need to invest in a slow cooker once we move. Have a great week x

I love sausages this time of year they are just what you want to eat. Think it is comfort food we all need.
