I keep saying I want to meal plan again, but I keep not doing it.

Emma, off to do a meal plan.

So how are you going to prepare the “footy”? Will you have sauce or gravy?

Kiwi Chick - sometimes I let the kids get involved with deciding meals but at the moment I need to use up what I have so there’s less choice.

Weekly meal planning works for me. I get everyone to write down a few ideas of what they would like then I work through the list to come up with the week’s menu. This has worked really well for us and it doesn’t often get disrupted. I imagine if I tried to do it for the month we would get a fair few disruptions to the plan. I have a hard and fast rule that we don’t do takeaways at all so that helps us stick to the menu.

Lynne - I’m sorry. I forget that not everyone understands our culture/language. LOL. Footy is short for football (Australian Rules football here which is a fairly unique game so I understand). Thursday nights we have football/netball training. The club cooks teas (usually hot dogs, pies, stuff like that) as the kids train at 5 and the adults from 6.30 until around 8pm. So we feed our kids in between trainings and then generally grab something ourselves after. I should have just written take away.

Kin - I started with a months menu plan for May and that got mucked up in the first 2 days and hasn’t been on track ever since so I’m reverting to weekly. At least then I can start again each week and alter things as I go.

B - glad I’m not the only one

My menu plan has already been thrown out for the week after feeling sick yesterday and giving in to pizza.

Isn’t it amazing how the weather makes such a difference in how we feel. It’s been bucketing down here for 3 days now.

Good luck with yours. Sport at this time of year plays havoc with my menu planning.

I wish I could take the time to menu plan. But alas, I am not as patient or frugal as I could be. The only question I have is what is Footy? I am not familiar with Austrailan cuisine as I live in the U.S. I have researched vegimite but don’t know if I would have the taste for it. I do however love peanut butter & jelly.

I sounds like by the time you get ready to travel you won’t have any perishables left. That sounds wonderful. We are trying to do that with our freezer right now and it is hard. You Rock.
