Weekly Meal Plan 2

Using a weekly Meal Plan takes the drama out of midweek dinners. Stay balanced, save money and save your sanity!

This is the second weekly meal plan I will be sharing on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and so many of you asked for all of the info in one place, so here it is.

Watch out for the videos of each recipe coming each night this week, so you can cook along.

For reference, I shopped for this Meal Plan in March 2022 at Aldi and it cost £33.18.

Why use a weekly food planner?

⭐️ Knowing exactly what food to buy for avoids food waste, saving you money.

⭐️  Having a plan for dinner avoids the mental load of “what’s for dinner?” question every night.

Weekly Meal Ideas: The Recipes

Dinner 1

⭐️ Serve with homemade chips and salad. Follow the recipe in the link for the method.

⭐️ Make a Tzatziki with 250g of yoghurt plus half of a cucumber grated (squeeze the water out with your hands). Mix together with salt and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

⭐️ I like to cook my kebabs on a grill rack in the oven while the chips are cooking. They will take about 25 minutes. Check they are full cooked through before serving.

⭐️NOTE: If you want to be super organised and save energy you can bake your potatoes ready for tomorrow and store in the fridge overnight.

Dinner 2

⭐️ Serve with salad. 

⭐️ I omitted the egg from the recipe as I didn’t need to buy eggs for anything else. They are fine without.

⭐️ I used 50g of the Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese instead of regular soft cheese in the recipe.

⭐️ For the salad: 

• 2 tomatoes
• Half cucumber
• Tin of sweetcorn
• 1 pepper
• Juice of lemon
• 150g natural yoghurt
• 2 tsp honey (from your cupboard if you have it)

Dinner 3

⭐️ Serve with boiled rice and cucumber salad. 

⭐️ I used a red onion instead of the white mentioned in the recipe.

⭐️ Make a cucumber salad with 250g of yoghurt, half a cucumber chopped into cubes plus a tablespoon of mint sauce.

Dinner 4

⭐️ Serve with tortilla chips from your shopping list.

Dinner 5

⭐️ Serve with garlic bread: I made homemade garlic bread by slicing the baguettes, popping under the grill for 5 minutes, then flipping over, topping with a little garlic puree, salt and olive oil and grated cheddar cheese, and melting the cheese under the grill.
