I knew that other moms would benefit from a free menu planner too, so I sent out an email, offering it to anyone who would send me a minimum of 6 recipes for MAIN MEALS.

Using the shopping lists in these free menu planners for the past few months has made grocery shopping a pleasure, but best of all it has taken away the burden of just thinking about what to make for supper each day! I simply look at my list and know that I already have all the ingredients - no last minute panics. When these are all repeated, there are recipes for a whole year, with the least favourite meals only having to be prepared 4 times in the year.and of course the family favourites can be repeated as often as you like, on the seventh day of each week. I have also compiled a second free meal planner: A JOY TO COOK provides another 6 weeks worth of meals, which when repeated, will make a total of 6 months worth of meals. Some weeks, there is a bonus recipe - something special to add to the meal or a handy recipe to keep for the right occasion! The 7th day of each week is not planned to allow for meals eaten out, take-aways, 'braais' (barbeques), picnics, eating leftovers or repeating family favourites. These can then be repeated the following 6 weeks, which will provide 3 months worth of meals. The free meal planner consists of 6 meals per week for 6 weeks. Most meals I have included are typically eaten by South Africans, with the choice of accompanying veggies or salads left open or just suggestions given. So I decided to make my own FREE meal planner that meets the above criteria. As much as I would like to eat mainly vegetarian meals with the odd meat meal in between, my husband is a typical South African man who generally likes his 'rys, vleis en aartappels' (rice, meat and potatoes) so that is mainly how we eat. I generally do not go to fruit and vegetable markets, health stores or delicatessens.Дў. Since I usually have my children in tow when I do my weekly shopping, I try to do a one-stop-shop at the local supermarket. Firstly, many of the ingredients are not readily available in our local South African supermarkets and secondly, my family probably would not eat such unusual foods.ДЎ. This sounded like a great idea, but when I looked at the sample meal planner and recipes I realised that there would be very few meals that I could actually use - for two reasons. In return for a fee, one receives weekly recipes and a shopping list for that week's meals. Having a new baby and other new business responsibilities at home, I have to be better organised and better prepared to cook.ДЄs I set about doing this, I discovered an online recipe service. Recently, I have made it my mission to 'look to the affairs of my household' and to get better organised than I was before. especially when I have arrived home late or when I have not been organised - missing the necessary ingredients, often at a time of day when the children are cranky, baby is whining and hubby comes home tired and hungry. It is a daily chore and to be honest, at times it has been a real burden. Preparing food for my household is not a task I particularly enjoy, and cooking is definitely not one of my interests or strong points. I created this free menu planner out of necessity rather than passion! It is ironic that this 'cook book' has been compiled by someone who has very little interest in cooking.
