A week's menu plan


Thrifty Lesley has published a very nice menu plan for the coming week based around a special roast for Easter Sunday. I have a menu plan too which I think is a bit cheaper than hers so I thought that I might share it. I do find that having a menu plan is particularly helpful during holiday weeks when you might have guests and days out. Having a plan means that you always have something to serve the hungry guests or family rather than being tempted by a takeaway or a ready meal.

Easter Sunday- Breakfast  Homemade Bunny Rolls, Jam, Sunflower Margarine and Coffee ( Chocolate on the side !)
Easter Sunday- Lunch  Roast Chicken with all the trimmings, Chocolate Cake decorated with Mini Eggs for Dessert
Easter Sunday -Supper  Sandwiches and leftover cake

Easter Monday - Breakfast Homemade Granola and Yoghurt
Easter Monday - Lunch Chicken Sandwiches, Muffins and Fruit
Easter Monday - Supper Chicken Curry and Chapattis

Tuesday - Breakfast Homemade Granola and Yoghurt
 - Lunch Toasted Sandwiches, Muffins and Fruit
 - Supper Homemade Pizza and Salad

Wednesday - Breakfast Homemade Granola and Yoghurt
 - Lunch Toasted Sandwiches, Muffins and Fruit
 - Supper Homemade Spaghetti Bolognaise

Thursday - Breakfast Homemade Granola and Yoghurt
 - Lunch Toasted Sandwiches, Muffins and Fruit
 - Supper Homemade Soup and Rolls, Cake

Friday - Breakfast Homemade Granola and Yoghurt
 - Lunch Toasted Sandwiches, Muffins and Fruit
 - Supper Homemade Quiche, Vegetables and Fruit

Saturday - Breakfast Homemade Granola and Yoghurt
 - Lunch Toasted Sandwiches, Muffins and Fruit
 - Supper Homemade Tortillas, Salsa, Salad and Ice Cream

The lunch menu item is based on sandwiches which make it easy to adapt for days out and lots of the supper dishes can be made ahead or in the slow cooker making them really adaptable for a holiday week too. Making everything yourself, like the yoghurt and granola for breakfast, also keeps costs down. 

Good luck with your menu planning !
