Before I started the 30 Day Challenge in August, I went ahead and did a family meal plan for the month. It was great to get to Sunday and know what that I just had to access the file and it was all sitting there ready for me.

During the September school holidays I decided to plan for a month again. So with the children’s input, I did the same thing with October. Now as I write this late Sunday night after 2 children’s birthday parties, 2 junior cricket games, a Christening and BBQ and a working bee, I was completely releived that I weekly menu plan for the family already completed and here it is:

Monday: Shepherd’s Pie

Baking: Pikelets

Tuesday: Tuna Rice

Wednesday: Chicken Schnitzel and Salad

Thursday: Pasta with Chicken and Spinach

Friday: Left Overs

Saturday: Chicken Stir Fry With Seasonal Vegetables

Sunday: Sausages and Vegetables
