Now I plan my meals for the week ahead...

Before Rachel used to receive a box of fresh fruit and vegetables every week. In the past, some of it would simply be wasted, vegetables in particular, as she didn't have a clear plan of when and how to use it up.

"Now I take time to sit down, write a list of what I have in the fridge and plan menus for the week ahead that ensure all the veg will get used up. I have found making soups to be a really good way of using up anything going spare"

Planning weekly menu's ahead of time is an easy way to take the stress out of "what are having for tea Mum" at the end of the working day.

To get Rachel's habit and start planning your meals ahead, take a look at our Two Week Menu Planner.
