Groceries & Upcoming Meal Plan Troy & I

Well I have done a bit food wise today so I'm going to break it up into a couple of posts. Firstly, I changed my mind not long after my first post and thought well I'm going to be out, I've planned the meals just do a good shop to take us through until Monday 16th and tee up an online order by next Thursday to get the following week's delivered on that Monday.

First up the meals that made the cut this week were: (Warning: Nothing overly exciting but some great good old Winter warmers with the colder months kicking in) Also keep in mind that some of these may not sound overly diet-friendly but it is all in the portion sizing and I like to cook up enough for two nights with some meals so that I can have a cruisy night the next one and simply heat-up left overs. Plus, some things just taste awesome after a 'sleep' in the fridge. The trick to making this work however....when dishing up the meal pull out 4 plates and split the serves there and then otherwise Troy and I are both as bad as eachother and go for a bit of seconds here and there and before I know it...we've eaten the next night's dinner!!!
Anyway:
Tonight was Sausages with Sweet Potato & Spinach Mash. The other options are:
1)Chicken & Vegetable Fried Rice (2 nights)
2)Salt & Pepper Squid with vegies.
3)Butter Chicken Curry
4) Cottage Pie (2 nights)
5) Pesto Pasta w/Pumpkin & Spinach (2 nights)
Sunday night we won't be home until late-ish so Baked Beans on Toast for Troy, and Tuna on Toast for me that night.

It is a great feeling having a fridge and pantry full of food and most of all...knowing I don't have to put much thought into meal planning until next Thursday!!!
