Since returning to work, I've started meal planning for us as family again and I've found that it's cutting the cost of our food shop by quite a bit. Most days we eat the same meals with some slight variations. I also plan mine and my husband's lunches for the week and usually prep them in advance for the days I'm in work.
This weeks dinner meal plan:

Its been quite a while since I wrote a blog post about our meal plans. The last one I published was in the middle of February which you can read here, 13th Feb Meal Plan. The most popular meal from that was Joe Wicks' Chicken Pie. It was a hit with all of us.
We were away quite a bit during half term so I didn't bother meal planning that week and then stupidly I didn't get around to writing one the following week. This saw us having a couple of takeaways, lots of naughty, lazy food and saw us spending far too much on our shops. This week we are back on track.
This week we are all eating the same meals. Luckily I still have some batch cooked meals in the freezer incase the girls don't like anything new I present them this week.
Inspiration for this weeks meal plan has mainly come from Kayla Itsines book. I've mentioned her book before on a previous meal plan. It's my current favourite cookbook. It features lots of great, healthy recipes which are perfect for hubby and I because it's 7 weeks until we go on holiday so we have just started a new health and fitness mission.
Monday - Chicken Wings and Mediterranean Vegetables
Tuesday - Homemade Turkey Burgers (without the bun for hubby and I and a bun for the girls) with Sweet Potato Fries
Wednesday - Tuna Pasta Bake (I'm actually out for dinner this eve so will try and choose something as healthy as possible).
Thursday - Chicken and Prawn Paella (Kayla Itsines Recipe)
Friday - Fish Tacos (Kayla Itsines Recipe)
Saturday - Fakeaway Pizzas (healthy homemade ones for hubby and I using a pitta bread for the base and the girls will make their own)
Sunday - Roast Dinner
I'm struggling for healthy but quick to prepare, breakfast, lunch and snack ideas. Do you have any suggestions?

I didn't share a meal plan last week because I was actually eating out a few times (very rare lately). If you didn't catch my last meal plan you can read it here, 30th January 2017.
The cookbook i've been getting some recipes from this week is Joe Wicks' Lean in 15. If you follow me on social media then you'll know i'm rather obsessed with him, haha. Seriously though, all good looks and nice body aside and there are some fab recipes in his first book.
This week hubby and I are having:
Monday - Homemade healthy pizza adapted from a Kayla Itsines recipe
Tuesday - A surprise (hubby is cooking dinner for Valentine's day)
Wednesday - Cheesy Chorizo, Chicken and Spinach (Joe Wicks Recipe)
Thursday - Joe's Chicken Pie (Joe Wicks Recipe)
Friday - Halloumi Burgers
Saturday - Mussels
Sunday - Roast Dinner
This week the kids are having:
Monday - Curry
Tuesday - Fish Pie
Wednesday - Pasta Bake
Thursday - Joe's Chicken Pie
Friday - Beef Burgers
Saturday - Mussels
Sunday - Roast Dinner
There's a few days that the kids are having the same meals as us but a lot of the time we can't eat together as a family as hubby now works quite far from home. He gets back much later than when the kids would have eaten. I'm still batch cooking some slow cooker meals so that if ever the kids don't like something new i've made them (which happens a lot) then i've always got some things for back up.

Our first week of meal planning went very well. It made our food shop so much easier and I was able to be organised and prepared on a daily basis. Last week we used a lot of recipes from Kayla Instines book and I have to say they were all very tasty. If you didn't catch what we had you can read the blog post here, Meal Plan 23/07/17. Our favourite meal of the week was the chicken and sweet potato healthy pizza followed closely followed by the sweet and sour chicken.
This week i'm aiming to have a varied menu again for hubby and I and i'm also trying a few new things for the girls. Hopefully they'll like them.
Our meal plan for the week beginning 30th January 2017:
Monday - Sweet and Sour Chicken (Kayla Itsines recipe, leftovers from last week)
Tuesday - Salmon and Pesto Parcel (My own recipe, look our for it on my blog soon)
Wednesday - Honey and Mustard Chicken with Sweet Potato Chips
Thursday - Korean Bulgogi Beef (Slimming World recipe)
Friday - Prawn Stirfry
Saturday - Fakeaway Healthy Pizza (Inspired by a Kayla Itsines recipe)
Sunday - Roast Dinner

With hubby starting work again this week in a job that see's him away from the house early in the morning until late in the evening, I need to be more organised so I've now starting meal planning. I wish I had done this a lot sooner as it really makes things easier.
We are both back on a healthy eating mission after consuming way too much naughty food over the Christmas/new year period plus a few weeks after whilst my family were visiting from Australia. We're actually having different meals to the kids which is silly as it makes more work for me but i'm batch cooking lots of their meals and using the slow cooker. Their meal plan will be in a separate post.
I was browsing all of my cookbooks for healthy meal inspiration and I found it a bit too much so I decided to just use one cookbook per week and some recipes of my own. This week I've decided to use Kayla Itsines - 28 day healthy eating and lifestyle book. I've followed her on Facebook for a long time. I've completely fallen in love with this book. It's packed full of recipes with food we love to eat.
It's Chinese New Year this weekend so we're also planning to have something to mark the occasion but something that's as healthy as possible. You can't beat a fakeaway.
Our meal plan for the week beginning 23rd January 2017:
Monday - Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki (using a wholemeal wrap)
Tuesday - Fish Tacos (using a wholemeal wrap)
Wednesday - Chicken, Sweet Potato, Caramelised Onion and Rocket Pizza (using a wholemeal pitta bread as the base)
Thursday - Jerk Chicken with Rice and Beans, Mango Salsa and Lime Yoghurt
Friday - Halloumi Burgers (my own recipe)
Saturday - Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice (homemade healthy fakeaway)
Sunday - Roast Dinner (at a family dinner)
There you have it. I'll update you at the end of the week with what we had for breakfast and lunch too.
What are your favourite healthy meals?
