This week our meal plan is fairly simple, our budget and belt are a bit tighter than previously owing to the wildly generous* SMP payments from the government. No, really. The other reason for this simplicity is my new reading matter which all centres around weaning. For lots of reasons - post to follow - we're going to be weaning Harry early and I'm at once wildly terrified and excited. How on earth can a baby born six weeks early be ready for actual food seventeen weeks later?
Anyway, nerves and learning about Baby led versus purees aside here's this weeks meal plan
Breakfasts - I'm having grape nuts and banana for me, along with tea and a slice of toast that M brings me while I'm doing my first feed of the day (usually around 5.30)
Lunches - either pate and ryvita or houmous and ryvita with cherry tomatoes - that craving from pregnancy has not gone away.
Dinners - I roasted a chicken yesterday so that kicks the week off for me both easily and thriftily
Monday: Leftover roast chicken with baked potatoes, corn on the cob, peas and carrots
Tuesday: Chicken, mushroom and pea risotto
Wednesday: Leftover risotto
Thursday: Chilli and rice bowls (chilli and rice in a bowl with avocado, cheese and natural yoghurt)
Friday: We're out for the day for M's birthday treat from a good friend, so leftover chilli in burritos with sweet potato wedges.
We've got a wedding to attend next weekend, so I'm leaving meals fairly free and easy for then and then the big weaning experiment begins. Stay tuned...

Nice post
Unless you're an expert culinary specialist, we're wagering that a standout amongst the most upsetting and disappointing parts of your week/day is feast arranging. Finding a formula, looking for fixings, slashing and preparing, also the real cooking part - it sounds debilitating before you've even begun. That is one reason why such a large number of time-starved individuals are starving for home-cooked suppers.
Many brides and grooms give a gift to their parents, on the occasion of the wedding. But no matter how large or small of a gift you select, also consider writing a letter to your parents, speaking from your heart. It will be a letter they will always save.
