Hello! I’ll keep the chat short this week, as the last week has been particularly stressful with my Mum being taken seriously ill with a stroke.
I’ve kept it simple this week, some freezer meals, and from next week we’re going to have a couple of weeks of meal subscription boxes again. This will help us eat well, and stay organised in the busy weeks ahead with my Mum’s rehabilitation.
Meal planning helps us to have low food waste which is really important to me. It also helps us to save money and 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.

Glad to hear your Mum is a lot better now than she was. Times like this you realise how well subscription boxes to things like Hello Fresh come in. It saves you so much hassle having to go to the shop and also meal plan
