SOOO what did everyone have for dinner? well today my husband was home his days off are Wednesday and Thursdays so he mostly cooks on those days, which is nice and it gives me more time with the kids, today we had rice and beans with sweet chili chicken and a spinach salad, i enjoyed my meal very much, for lunch we had creamed broccoli,carrots,and spinach soup, weather its 100 degrees or 30 degrees soup is a favourite in our house, the only one who don't really eat soup is my husband, so he will always have something else, i always make different type of soups and the kids love them especially with there oyster crackers!!

- Thursday- Sheppard's turkey pie

- Sunday- roast chicken with roast potatoes and veg
- Monday-spaghetti and meatballs (soup for me)
- Tuesday-turkey burgers on brioche buns with HM potatoes wedges
- Wednesday- pork chops and mash with peas
- Thursday- take out pizza
- Friday- chicken and gnocchi soup
- Saturday-HM pizza wheels
- Sunday- chicken parm with mash and veg
Meal planning for me is really essential, with homeschooling and keeping a budget and most of all i hate waking up and not knowing what i am making for dinner, its easy for the kids to see on the meal plan board what they are eating that day and i don't get mom whats for dinner multiple times a day LOL.
i do have those meals planned but i am flexible on the days, they don't need to be on that day, i have so many days done so i know i have those meals ingredients in the pantry and freezer. lunches are pretty simple, its basically bread,bagels,croissant, or soup, with fruit, yogurt and a sweet treat i always ask them what they would like, so i always have on hand, peanut butter and jelly- apple butter- nuttella- ham and cheese, 3 fruits we always have on hand are grapes, apples and bananas and that's cause those are the most ones that get eaten, i but several types of fruit but that's normally every 2 weeks and we will do a fruit salad with them. always have multiple type of snacks, for the kids and hubby, they all have different likes and that's ok. mornings are pretty simple and stress free, its either cereal, oatmeal or bagels, maybe once a week we do waffles or pancakes or crepes. i always shop for at least 3 weeks even though i do it every 2 weeks, i just like to make sure that if something happens i am covered for a few more days.
