For years I have been incredibly disorganised with planning our evening meals. At the end of the day, I would open the fridge with a sigh, scan the shelves and end up cooking a meal that you couldn’t really write home about. The next couple of nights we would be out and before you know it – all those crisp, fresh vegetables bought earlier in the week with great intentions for a gastronomic delight, have now transformed into limp and lonely morsels – destined for the worm farm!
However, since being on Maternity Leave and having Poppy, I have become a Martha Stewart! Nick and I now plan our evening menu for the week from our favourite cookbook IN THE KITCHEN, and only purchase ingredients for those recipes! So organised!!
I add the list of ingredients into my new Woolworths application on my iPhone, and off I go.
As a result, I now avoid the dreaded question: “What are we going to have for dinner” and instead I scan the little menu plan on the fridge. We enjoy some beautiful meals, save money and am proud to admit – our worms aren’t quite as well fed! x
