Holiday Meal Planning


This holiday photo is from a few years ago and we are looking forward to taking some new ones soon ! However, we are going to Scandinavia and having looked up food prices I've decided to once again take most of our food with us. This has meant making a detailed meal plan and shopping list, meal planning and shopping carefully has been a bit of a theme this week !

MasterShoestring, who is now the tallest in the family, is coming with us so I've had to make sure that we have plenty of snacks along as well ! Over the past few years I've often made things like bread on holiday, but I decided that that is too much work this year as we won't be staying in one place for more than a few days. Deciding to use ready to bake rolls and bread did put the cost of the meal plan up a bit but including a few treats it works out at just over £25 a week for 3 of us, so I think that is pretty good !

Here's the plan:-

Breakfast - pancakes, eggs or weetabix with decaffeinated tea of coffee. I'm taking dried skimmed milk along so we don't have to try and cool liquid milk as we travel.

Lunch- cheese, crackers, tomatoes, buns, ham, salad, fresh fruit, crisps

Supper - pizza, quiche, hot dogs, rice, meatballs, gnocchi. pasta with tomato sauce

Snacks - individual apple pies, chocolate, biscuits and crisps

Now to pack it all in some sort of order so nothing gets squashed or broken (I've never travelled with eggs before) !
