Last weeks meal plan didn’t go too badly, but I have to admit I am so bored of food. It doesn’t help that I have no appetite, I could quite happily live on snacks every now and then. But I don’t have that privilage, I have a family to feed. So, how can I mix it up without everyone refusing to eat? It’s not an easy feat with a family of seven.
Let’s look at last week first. It didn’t go too badly, we even skipped the take out as I managed to cook on hospital day. One minute I was fast asleep on the settee (it makes me really tired) then suddenly I woke, went to the kitchen and cooked everyone chicken and chips. My eldest son was a bit amused by this. But it saved me a small fortune. We didn’t have the lasagna, I went out with my daughter, so the others had more stuff from the freezer and I had a risotto with vegetables.
This weeks Meal Plan

Bored
I’m not happy with this weeks menu but I’ll keep it up for now. I did say I was bored! I’m hoping that later in the week I can get to the supermarket and maybe buy something different. So far my bill is only £130 and that includes all the basics, so If I can get a couple of extra meals for £30 then I’ll be happy. I’ll let you know how I get on next week.
Also, I think I need to hit those cook books!
Linking up with Katy’s Meal Planning Linky (also a good place for meal inspiration)
i so know that bored feeling, I often get it and nothing appeals at all. Your week sounds good and hope the ideas come back soon x
Well done on skipping the takeaway!
Great meal plan. I hate it when I get bored of food. It is hard work trying to feed everyone and keep everyone happy x
I hope it goes well and you can come up with some new exciting meals!
Thanks for linking up and have a great week x
Hopefully you can get some inspiration either get on Pinterest or dig the recipe books out and hopefully this will give you some inspiration for meals

I do hope you’re feeling much better by now. I do understand the bored feeling too.
I would suggest that you try a new multi cultural dish or a recipe you haven’t tried yet. How about trying a new food/vegetable? I usually ask when I see Indian or Chinese people taking up some odd vegetable in the supermarket, I ask how they cook it. I have tried a few, and though sometimes the flavours do take getting used to, it’s interesting and different.
Hope we’ve given you a bit to think about.
