A delicious 7 day easy meal plan
Sometimes you just want a 7 day easy meal plan which involves meals that are quick and easy to cook, so I hope this helps. All the recipes in this easy-to-cook meal plan involve minimal preparation and hardly any attention whilst cooking. Perfect for busy mums who have kids back at school!
How to choose easy meals for the family
I always find that easy meals to cook for the family are those which require hardly any preparation and once it is cooking you can easily leave it aside whilst doing other things. This is why I have designed this 7 day easy meal plan for you, the busy parents out there.
Who can enjoy this 7 day easy meal plan?
I have written you a 7 day easy meal plan and associated shopping list for 4 people. If you are only making for 2, it is easy to reduce the amount of the recipes or alternatively, for many, you could make 4 portions and freeze some.
If you are cooking for children of course it depends if they are fussy whether they will enjoy these meals. You know your children best but why not give it a try and see what they think?
Essentials for this 7 day easy meal plan
If you have a slow cooker, a hand blender, a large saucepan and a frying pan you should have all you need to make these meals. I don’t believe in recipes that require you to buy lots of bizarre ingredients or equipment. No one wants to do that, do they?
