March 2019 Meal Plan!

Hey everyone!

If February was anything to go by, March is going to be a VERY busy month for us!
This month I am planning on quite a few freezer meals, simple Thermomix recipes and loads of veggie packed dinners.
Saving money is our goal this month, so I am starting March off with a freezer and pantry challenge.

I have looked through my pantry and both of my freezers, and here are the list of meals I can make with what I have already!

  • Chicken Pie (4 Ingredients One Pot One Bowl)
  • Pies and veggies (a staple in our house)
  • Savoury mince (another staple)
  • Noodle pancakes, fish fingers and veg
  • Golden Curry Sausages
Other meals we will be making this month include:
  • Spag Bol
  • Honey Soy Chicken drumsticks and veggies
  • Hot Dogs
  • Homemade Pizza
  • Scrambled Eggs with Fish and salad (weird combo I know but it's what works to get the kids eating)
  • Macaroni Bake with veg (4 Ingredients One Pot One Bowl)
  • Roast Beef Lasagna (4 Ingredients One Pot One Bowl)
  • Taco Bake (Large Family Table)
  • Chicken Teriyaki Fried Rice (The Road To Loving My Thermomix)
  • Meatloaf and Veg
  • Beef Stroganoff (Large Family Table)
  • Fish, Chips and Eggs
  • Chicken Tenders and Salad in Pita Pockets
Snacks for the month will include:

  • Pikelets
  • Yoghurt
  • Cheese and Bacon muffins
  • Banana Choc Chip muffins
  • Loads of fresh fruit
  • Cheese sticks
  • Savoury Muffins
  • Choc Slice (Coconut, Honey, Oats, Choc chips)
  • Banana Bread
I have changed up the way we meal plan, because of the fact that I am out of the house so much at this point. Having a list of meals ready, I am able to choose what I am able to make that day. For example, on a day Miss8 has gymnastics, I can make savoury mince during the day and have it cooking on low for a few hours while I am out of the house (there are still adults here, so don't worry!). Having a whole heap of snacks made and in the freezer helps with kids wondering what they can put in their lunch box.

Thanks for reading!

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...
