All about making life easier, this week’s Real Food Meal Plan includes slow cooker Mongolian Beef, spicy noodle soup, an easy sheet pan honey chicken dinner & a simple broccoli pasta.
Meal planning at this time of year is a difficult task. I plan my meals according to the weather (Yes, I am aware this is a nerdy thing to do 🙂 ), and every Thursday night when I write my menu I take note of the temperature for the coming week. Temperature becomes more important during summer as I don’t want to plan an oven-baked meal on a 40C day. Unfortunately, the weather is a moving target this time of year, so I have to be a bit flexible and keep a few extra dishes up my sleeve. The salad we ate on Thursday was actually destined for The Princess’s lunchbox, but the oven baked miso fish I originally planned no longer looked as appealing on a 36C day. The upside to this though … guess what we are eating next week.
For those of you not struggling with my temperature issues, I bring you eight great recipes from my fellow bloggers that you can happily turn on the oven for; five mains and a few little extras to get you through the week. Enjoy!
