Here’s an update of last week’s weekly meal plan. I said to myself that I will prepare a meal plan for the week so that I will not have to rush preparing them after done with work. The meal plan I am talking about is mainly for our lunch and dinner. I still prefer to prepare breakfast on a daily basis.
So here’s what really happened last week.
Saturday morning we went for grocery shopping because we didn’t have anything left in the fridge to cook. I prepared 3 meals in the afternoon. I was thinking what meals is great for lunch that’s not so tough to prepare or cook but also considered healthy. After careful thought on the ingredients in front of me, I decided to go for the following meals:
Spaghetti in red sauce. This was good for 2.5 meals of 3 persons (myself, hubby and a growing kid).
Pork menudo. This was also good for 2 meals of 3 persons.
Garden salad with Pork Tapa as toppings. We ate this for the first 3 nights and hubby and my girl loved it! I prepared pre-marinated pork strip Tapa (Taal version)The best tapa in the world (in my opinion haha). If you want to know more about the recipe. Let me know in the comments and I’d be happy to share it.
After doing all the grocery, prepping and cooking I finished the whole thing exactly at 6pm. Super tired but ended feeling very fulfilled and happy.
My thoughts on the whole weekly meal plan is that it can absolutely help ease the load during weekdays. You’ll have more time to relax after work like doing exercise, spending time with your kids or spouse. Last week, I had time with my hubby and daughter to play basketball and we played for 2 times last week! So really, planning ahead helps a lot. I am so looking forward to improve on this over time. 🙂
Do you have a systematic meal plan that’s already working for you? I’d love to read your story. 🙂
