Tuesday is here again
Some mmay have noticed I didnt post my meal plan last week
you can read about why here
In short I am now a single mumma of two
So we ate trying to find our feet again
This will also affect my meal plans each week as I am now only feeding
1 adult a 3yo and almost 1yo
And i will also be returning to work
So I will be using the slow cooker and meals I stocked in the freezer last week
you may see some repeats and you will defiantly see lots of easy meals.
There will also be some nights where its just me while the boys are at their dads so they may be leftovers or something out of the cupboard.
Im looking forward to planning meals as a single mum
I dont want to slip back into the boring meals and I'll definatly be freezing lots of leftovers
So hopefully I can give you all some new ideas.
