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 !
