Good morning, happy Friday! What a week it has been. Thomas and I have returned to some normality, as normal as life feels when your husband is on 5 months off work!
Another week, and another meal plan from me! We’re sticking with Hello Fresh for another week, then we’re going to have a week or two of Gousto meals. I’ve been enjoying some Hello Fresh boxes for a few weeks now (*Grab £46 off your first 3 boxes) and also been using up the odd Simply Cook recipe too, mostly for lunches (*new customers can get a free delivery!).
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.

Hello fresh helps so much when you have a lot going on it is good to see that you are still having amazing meals when you have a newborn baby as I know it can be hard. These meals do sound amazing I am jealous xx

My mouth is watering at the sound of your menu this week. I keep thinking about HelloFresh and wondered if it is worth it.

It's a bit pricey, I won't lie! But great to take away the inconvenience of meal planning etc.

Ooh lots of cheesiness going on this week ! Pierre doesn't like cheese and cheese doesn't like Sophie (!) so I avoid adding it to most things now - not all the time though ! Glad to hear things are calming down now xx
