Monthly Meal Plan - May

Hey Guys!

So sorry this is so late...

We have had a massive May so far, with birthdays, appointments, etc and I have been sick and meetings for various things so I will endeavour to have June's meal plan set and ready to go for you before June 1st.

As we have had such a massive month so far, I have just been meal planning a week at a time.

So here it is:

Tuesday 1st:         Takeaway Pizza (bad I know but that was one of our busiest days with multiple appointments so I needed something simple)

Wednesday 2nd:       Savoury mince

Thursday 3rd:        Sausages and Vegetables (mashed potato, peas, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower)

Friday 4th:           Pasta/Noodles (we have kids activities every Friday night, so this is the same every week and is chosen by the kids)

Saturday 5th:       Fish Fingers and hot chips

Sunday 6th:        Steak sandwich (sounds simple but sooo good and filled with veg as well)

Monday 7th:       Butter chicken and rice

Tuesday 8th:       Tacos (the kids had begged me for Taco Tuesday...)

Wednesday 9th:     Sausages, chips and scrambled eggs

Thursday 10th:        Spaghetti bolognese

Friday 11th:        Pasta/Noodles

Saturday 12th:      Pies and sausage rolls with corn on the cob and carrot sticks

Sunday 13th:      BBQ Chicken and veg (mashed potato, peas and carrots)

Monday 14th:     Savoury mince and pasta

Tuesday 15th:     Homemade Pizza

Wednesday 16th:     Fish, chips, carrots and peas

Thursday 17th:     Sushi and Maccas (this is one of our kiddos birthdays and the birthday person gets to choose what we have for dinner - this is what she chose)

Friday 18th:     Pasta/Noodles

Saturday 19th:    Help Yourself Night (sometimes these days are needed for one's sanity...)

Sunday 20th:      Steak and Cheese Loaded Fries

Monday 21st:     Savoury Mince

Tuesday 22nd:    Chicken and Corn Soup

Wednesday 23rd:     Homemade Pizza

Thursday 24th:     Beef Brisket Ragu (new recipe I cannot wait to try!)

Friday 25th:     Pasta/Noodles

Saturday 26th:    Spring rolls and fried rice

Sunday 27th:    My Mum likes to cook something new on Sunday nights, she chooses what to cook on a Saturday and shops for the ingredients herself. We are all enjoying whatever she makes and I am very appreciative.

Monday 28th:        Fish, Four Cheeses Pasta and Peas and Carrots

Tuesday 29th:      Lasagne, chips and salad 

Wednesday 30th:      Chicken tenders and veg (regular mashed potatoes, peas and carrots)

Thursday 31st:      Sticky sausages and veg (see above)

So there it is!
Keep in mind that I sneak veggies into almost everything that I make so even if it does not look like we are eating a ton of veg, we really are (shhh... don't tell the kids!)

I hope this inspires you guys in some way and have a nice day!

Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys! When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us! For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms.  Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks.  So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections. We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first! Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs.  BB has pink. Knox has blue. TJ has purple. Liss has white.  Mum has black.  Yes, they are all mixed up at ...

Day in the life

Hey Everyone! As a busy mum of 4, I am pretty much on the go all day. So I just thought, maybe, I would share what one day is like for me. Before I get out of bed in the morning, I like to read one chapter in Proverbs. Proverbs is such a good way of making sure I am reading God's Word daily because it has 31 chapters - a chapter for each day of the month. This way, while I am going through my morning routine, I have something godly running through my brain instead of the chaos of whatever I have on that day.  Next up is coffee... after making sure my teenage son is up and getting ready for the day. I am super lucky because my Mum also lives with us and she gets up a little bit before me and has my coffee ready and waiting for me! While I drink my coffee, the news is generally on in the background. Because my kids are all older, pretty much all I have to do is make sure they are waking up when they are supposed to. Although, one of my children needs a bit more support in getting rea...

My Top 10 Cookbooks!

Hey Guys! You all know I am a mumma of a large family, so I kinda have to have a few favourite cookbooks, right? I do have quite a few cookbooks and websites that I pull from when I am meal planning, particularly when I get stuck with making the same meals over and over (it happens... I am far from perfect guys...).  Some of these are for thermomix recipes specifically, (my goal for the year is to use my thermomix more) while others are just general cookbooks. So lets get into it! 1. Thermomix Every Day Cookbook. This is the cookbook you get with your Thermomix and it has basic recipes and hints and tips to get used to your thermomix. My mum's favourite recipe in this is the custard.  2. Mamabake Cookbook. This is the cookbook I reach for when I have a lot of busy days where I will not have time to cook. There is a lot of slowcooker dump recipes in there that my family love and don't break the budget. 3. Once a Month Cooking by the Stay at Home...
