I’m Back! With all new Weekly Meal Plans.

A few things have changed in my world over the last few years, I will get into that as we move forward over the next few months but today the biggest thing that has changed is food wise I’m not eating meat. I am eating a more plant-based diet; I do eat a little fish though. I still cook meat for my family but to be honest they are eating way less meat now & have remarked that they are not really missing meat. They probably eat it about 2-3 times a week now. It has made a massive difference in the food budget, I always knew meat was expensive but did not realizes how much of the weekly food spend it was eating up. And, of course when I’m in the restaurant I have to cook meat & even taste the sauces, stocks etc. It’s my job (well one of them).

 It’s a New Year!

It’s a new year and we all want to get back on track, meal planning are the perfect way to create some semblance of order. The kids are nearly back at school or if you’re like me they have finished & everyone is heading out to work. Organization is key if you want to get anything done & make sure you have some me time in your day or evening. I have changed things up a bit, so you get to use all of the ingredients you buy over the course of a month (super organised). Every Sunday I’ll pop up the weeks plan with the shopping list on the blog, (for those playing along on Facebook you will have to pop on over to the blog) recipes will be in the recipe section or just click on the link to take you directly to the recipe. There will be tips on how to change the recipes around to be plant-based. I’ll also be teaching you how to make meal that you will find at your favorite restaurant or cafe (eggs benny with homemade hollandais anyone!). There might not always be photos, I’ll do my best to have a photo but hey life is busy, so sometimes I won’t get to it. Plus I’m all about ease & flow so the perfectionist that stopped me from getting content up until it was perfect is riding in the back seat now and imperfect Kerri has taken the wheel back. So expect to see me doing my thing providing you with awesome meal plans & a bunch of wellbeing stuff to make life fun & abundant.

Have an abundant week, Kerri
