It seems like yesterday since I started writing Meal Planning Monday. Last week’s meal plan was mainly on plan with a few “odd” days. The boys received a great school report so they were able to choose what we had for tea. Oliver is a little obsessed with Chinese food at the minute so it was no surprise that is what he wanted. Jack was having an inner battle between McDonalds and Chinese. He could have had either as I was more than happy to make a special trip to McDonalds for him. He has worked really hard this year so deserves it. In the end he chose Chinese and that is what we ate on Wednesday.
I think the more I take part in these meal plans the more I realise how much I still have to learn. There were so many opportunities to take photos of what we ate but it wasn’t until I was half way through the meal did that thought cross my mind. Oh well live and learn.
Last week we went to Hamerton Zoo and we took a picnic with us! Over the summer we will be having picnics most days I can imagine! The boys love it as do I.
Monday
Chicken Roast Dinner as we for some reason we didn’t have this yesterday!
Tuesday
Last Football and Cubs until they go back to school so quick and easy dinner is needed. They are having a lovely cooked dinner at school so they can have sandwiches tonight. Mark and I however will have homemade pulled pork as we didn’t have this last week. They boys are not keen on the pulled pork so the perfect opportunity for us to have it.
Wednesday
Spaghetti and Meatballs with garlic bread.
Thursday
*First day of the Summer Holidays!!!*
Burgers and Chips for Mark, Jack and I and Fish fingers for Oliver and Arthur.
Friday
Sausage, Mash and Peas with Onion Gravy
Saturday
Homemade Pizza!
Sunday
Roast Dinner day!
Well done your boys on their great reports and what a great treat. I think I would have gone for Chinese too.
I do love a chicken dinner on a Monday.
Enjoy the summer holidays. We have to wait until Friday afternoon to finish!
Oh no! I have been counting down the days until the boys finish school! I am sooo excited.
Chinese is my favourite treat dimmer too. Lovely meal plan, my own boys would be more than happy with it. Have a fab week x
Home made pizza on a Saturday – perfect choice! x
I struggle with meal time ideas so I’m going to spend nap time going through yours for some inspiration!
We love a Chinese dinner treat too!!

I’m spending a fortune on food I so need to start planning better!
I’m trying to think of special food for a treat to celebrate the start of the holidays! Wish the kids could agree on something!
Ah I absolutely love sausage, mash and onion gravy! Going to have to add that to the meal plan for next week, along with the homemade pizza too! x
Nothing wrong with a roast dinner any day of the week 🙂
Ooh you’ve just made me realise how long it’s been since I had sausages and mash! Now I’m craving it! x
I love reading others food planning as I get so stuck for ideas.
