I don’t seem to be posting anything much other than the weekly menu plans at the moment, although I keep meaning to write up the recipes too – there just isn’t enough time!
I’ve decided to change the way that I plan the menus too, and do my weekly shop on a Friday or possibly even Saturday, planning the coming weekend first and then the following week. This somehow seems much easier, rather than on Monday trying to decide what we’ll want to eat the following weekend, particularly as the weekend meals are very much a joint effort (in the deciding, NOT the cooking! lol) and that’s easier to do if you’re deciding what you want to eat over the next couple of days, rather than a whole week away.
So, this means that my menu plan goes from Saturday to Friday at the moment, although this may change to Friday to Thursday at some point. Or even go back to the standard Monday to Sunday!
