A 7-days healthy meal plan for a family of 2 adults and 2 children, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, nappies, a few household essentials and yes, even my son’s 1st birthday cake!
Over the past week, I have had a few people asking me to provide a shopping list and a 7-days meal plan, to show how to cook healthy meals for the whole family on a tight budget.

I was rather impressed with this. I need to get a handle on my own budget and appreciated the pointers. I live within easy walking distance of an Asda, Morrisons, Lidl (or the other one, I forget), Tesco and a reasonably sized coop. What do I do for food shopping? Generally buy what I need on my way home. Its insane, I know I need to be better organised.
