JERF meal plan - the first fortnight


Our meal plan for the first fortnight in June is a fairly simple one - but I think simplicity is best when it comes to making over our eating habits. I've listed the breakfasts, dinners and snacks below - with links to recipes where possible. As I mentioned in my previous post - we tend to eat leftovers for lunch, so I won't list the lunches separately.

Breakfasts:

Homemade muesli with coconut yoghurt*
Egg and bacon cups** (Sophie Guidolin My Kids Eat)
Baked beans** with avo and feta
Peanut butter chocolate oats (Sophie Guidolin My Kids Eat)
Porridge
Big breakfast (bacon, eggs, homemade hash browns, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes)
Granola bars* (Sophie Guidolin My Kids Eat)

Dinners:

Hungarian goulash* with broth steamed greens
Chicken stew (Jamie Oliver Save With Jamie) with spelt challah
Preservative free sausages with mash and greens
Poached eggs in broth with greens
Lettuce burgers* (Pete Evans Family Food - Joy burgers patty recipe) with sweet potato chips 
Butter chicken* with cauli rice and veges
Spelt pizza* with salad
Silverside with mash and veges
Meatballs* with zoodles
Pumpkin soup*
Popcorn chicken (Sophie Guidolin My Kids Eat)
Grainfree lasagne (Quirky Cooking Cookbook)

Snacks:

Corn fritters*
Choc zucchini muffins* (for this recipe, I switch out the flour for wholemeal and the sugar for rapadura and drop the quantity to 100-150g)
Vegetable chips
Vege sticks with tzatziki/hommus
Carrot cake* (Sophie Guidolin My Kids Eat)
Chickpea brownies* (Sophie Guidolin My Kids Eat)
Arrowroot biscuits (I swap out the sugar for rapadura and use spelt or wholemeal flour in place of plain)

*All these recipes can be made ahead and frozen. This definitely helps when packing lunchboxes or on busy weeknights.
**These recipes can be made 2-3 days ahead and kept in the fridge. 

Hopefully there are some ideas here to help fill out your meal plan.
