Meal plan #39 – Winter

Italian meatballs are great at any time of the year, but super perfect on a wintery night with either pasta or simply crusty bread. They are also good without the sauce as a lunchbox filler. Banana bread will round out the lunch boxes – make sure you slice it before freezing it to make it easy to place in the boxes in the morning. Stick with our meal plan and you can cut down your cooking by half each week.

Sunday – Super simple meal: Jacket potatoes – using your favourite ingredients. Go something plain like bacon, sour cream, butter and grated cheese, or think about other great combinations like tinned tuna and corn, bacon and broccoli and sour cream, or tinned baked beans (or leftover bean quesadilla mix) topped with grated cheese.
