Weekly Meal Plan 5

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

This is the 5th 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 May 2022 at Aldi and it cost £34.21.

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 the mini wraps, 100g of the grated cheese, the avocado, and some of the 200g of yoghurt.

Easy Chicken Fajitas {Oven Baked}

These Easy Oven Chicken Fajitas are a simple, quick family dinner. Chicken breast pieces coated in fajita seasoning, with peppers and onions, oven-baked to perfection. Serve with tortillas, sour cream or yoghurt, grated cheese and avocado for a complete meal.

Dinner 2

⭐️ Sometimes Aldi sell bags of ready chopped ‘casserole vegetables’, which include all of the veggies in this recipe ready-prepared and they are good value. Annoyingly they didn’t have them in stock at the time of my writing this, but if they do you could substitute for all of the vegetables and save yourself some chopping!

⭐️ You can use whatever combination of similar root vegetables you prefer.

Sticky Sausage Tray Bake {Easy & Delicious}

This simple Sticky Sausage Tray Bake is comfort food packaged in one healthy meal that is super easy and so delicious. A winner for the whole family!

Dinner 3

⭐️ Use 700g of beef instead of the 1kg mentioned in the recipe (1kg is for 6 portions). You can also increase the spinach from the recipe if you like as you’ll have a larger bag.

⭐️ Replace the 200g of curry paste with 4 tsp of medium curry powder (as Aldi don’t sell paste).

⭐️ Serve with the poppadoms, rice, extra mango chutney and yoghurt on the side.

Slow Cooker Beef Curry

This Slow Cooker Beef Curry is mixed up in just 5 minutes, no preparation required. A tasty 'fakeaway' it also happens to be light and healthy.

Dinner 4

⭐️ Double the recipe listed (as that’s only for two people). I used 2x 500g packs of courgettes and 1x aubergine for the doubled recipe (it should be 2x aubergines) but this was a cheaper way of having the same weight of vegetables and still tastes great.

⭐️ Serve with the bake-at-home baguettes.

Mediterranean Tomato and Halloumi Bake

This Mediterranean Tomato and Halloumi Bake is a quick, healthy, vegetarian dinner. Delicious crispy, salty cheese slices on top of a rich tomato vegetable sauce.

Dinner 5

⭐️ No notes on this one, apart from it’s my new shortcut and I actually think it tastes better than a traditional Tuna Pasta Bake – what do you think?!
