On Wednesdays I make lists

I really need to start being more proactive with this blog thing...! Especially now I have over a 1000 followers on my instagram page! Yey!

It’s Wednesday, on Wednesdays I make lists...

I do the shopping on a Thursday, but I like to go prepared!

First I check what’s in the cupboards, fridge and freezer that I can use up.

Then, I write a meal plan, well I plan what days we can all eat together, (since sometimes Daddy works evenings and we don’t get to eat together)  then I decide what were having and when.

Then finally, I write my list of what we need to buy.

I only shop at Aldi, but I do go to Tesco for my nut spreads.

I also like to write my list in order of the shop, does anyone else do that? I start with cereals, then breads, fruits & veg, meat, eggs, frozen, fridge bits, nappies and tills – you all do this, right?!

A personal choice, I like to buy fresh meat, fresh fruit and veg, I’m not against frozen foods and do get frozen pizzas, a salmon wellington, onion rings etc... But I really enjoy making my meals from scratch, I like to know what’s going into the food that I feed my family.

This is a reason we chose BLW (baby led weaning) so I could take this food journey with him, I could start trying new foods and stop being so darn fussy, because I do not want Austin being a fuss bucket like me. And I love it; I can’t believe I’ve denied myself all these foods for so long.

And who would have known that I would like cooking, and that I would be good at it!?

I prep a lot of our meals the night before where possible and this is also factored into the planning, when the baby goes to sleep this mama gets busy in the kitchen!
