If you’ve ever used any of my free meal plans before, you’ll know how handy it is to follow a loose guide when it comes to figuring out what to cook during the week. This time, I’m offering something a little different with my Sunday Setup Series, here’s Week 2. This is just what I’ve done in a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. Do one recipe, or all of them, whatever helps you and your family life! The FREE printable shopping list can be found here Do as much or as little as suits YOU. This week we’ll be including tips for: ⭐️ Breakfasts for the week to save precious time in the morning ⭐️ Healthy snacks that are perfect for either packed lunches or after school ⭐️ A sweet treat that’s also perfect for packed lunches, desserts or elevenses ⭐️ Soup for a lunch or light dinner that can easily be batch cooked for another week too ⭐️ A veg tray to get everything chopped to save time later ⭐️ A fruit salad for breakfast, snack or dessert ⭐️ One base meal that you can turn into 3 different meals if you want to ➡️ For freshness, most prepped food will keep fine in the fridge for 3-4 days, otherwise most items can be frozen instead ➡️ Notes on storing, freezing, defrosting and reheating should be in each individual recipe, or in the notes below ➡️ Everything in the FREE shopping list is what you need to prepare for the meals below ⭐️ Easy to reheat for a hot breakfast on the go (or not) ⭐️ STORING: These will keep fine in the fridge for 3 days for weekday breakfasts, but you can also freeze them too, so make a batch to save time on busy mornings
snacks
⭐️ These Granola Bars are delicious and perfect for lunch boxes, snacks or even breakfast ⭐️ STORING: These will keep fine in an airtight container but you can also freeze them, fully covered, too ⭐️ Be sure to cook these until they are very golden and crunchy (they can fall apart if not cooked enough) ⭐️ Ideal for so many things during the week – in lunch boxes, a mid-morning treat or after school snack ⭐️ STORING: This will keep fine in a cake tin or sealed container for 3 days. No need to refrigerate ⭐️ It’s perfect for lunches or a quick, light dinner ⭐️ STORING: This will keep fine in the fridge for 3 days. It’s also ideal for freezing so make a double batch for another week! ⭐️ Meal 1: Serve in buns with Homemade Chips and Coleslaw ⭐️ Meal 2: Serve it in Mac and Cheese with a green salad ⭐️ Meal 3: Serve it in tacos with shredded lettuce, feta, avocado and pink onions (this recipe is in my second book!) ⭐️ STORING: This will keep fine in the fridge for 3 days, but you can also freeze it into portions too
Fruit salad
⭐️ Add your favourite fruits to the shopping basket, wash and chop them up into a big bowl and you have easy pickings for throughout the week! They’re ideal for snacking, breakfasts or desserts with yoghurt
