Menu Plan Monday – The Lunchbox Edition and GIVEAWAY

Posted On October 16, 2011

This is the last school term before Master O officially starts “School”!!! I have a lifetime of preparing lunchboxes ahead of me, so I better start getting used to it. This week a little lunch box helper arrived in my inbox….

This is exactly what I need. A Plan. With instructions. And lists. An organisers dream!

So this week I am having a practice run of creating dinner meals, with lunchboxes in mind.

Sunday ~ Dinner ~ Roast Beef with Roast Vegetables and Steamed cheesy Broccoli and Cauliflower. By buying a larger than normal roast I am hoping to have enough for Sandwiches on Monday and Tuesday.

Monday ~ Dinner ~ Lamb Chops with Potato Salad and Stuffed Mushrooms.

Lunch ~ Roast Beef Bread Roll with Fruit Chutney!

Tuesday ~ Dinner ~ Poached Chicken and Caesar Salad. For the kids Chicken Fried Rice.

This chicken will be used as a wrap filling for Wednesday and Thursday. Add some Grated Cheese, lettuce and pesto!

Lunch ~ Roast Beef Bread Roll with Fruit Chutney!

Wednesday ~ Dinner ~ Ham and Cheese Tortellini with Creamy Sauce.

Lunch ~ Chicken and pesto wraps

Thursday ~ Dinner ~ Sausages with Vegie Mash and Crunchy Parmesan Bread.

Lunch ~ Chicken and pesto wraps
The leftover sausage with be transformed into the Sausage and Couscous salad from the Vegie Smugglers Lunchbox Inspiration e-book.

Friday ~ Dinner ~ Beef Fajitas.

Lunch ~ Sausage and couscous salad.

Baking ~ I am going to make the meusli bars from the Vegie Smugglers Lunchbox Inspiration e-book! Wish me luck, I am not much of a baker but the cost savings of making your own meusli bars is great motivation!

But wait there’s more….
