Not only is this menu planning really helping me to be thrifty but it's also helping us to eat more healthily and saves us from lots of "what's for tea?" time-wasting!
This is a very easy week for cooking as we're away for a wee hotel break with my parents - how lovely and yummy - lots of local, organic produce and ingredients in the two restaurants that we'll be eating in, and one dinner is already pre-paid!
Last week's menu went down the plug-hole since life got so busy - thank goodness for all the freezer meals that came in mighty handy! As a result I'll be making that promised chicken curry and rice tonight for my hubs to enjoy tomorrow and in the near future (freezing the bulk).
