So… I’m a little late with the meal plan this week. Simply because I didn’t do it. Life got in the way. Vehicles broke down, our plumbing business website crashed and I think I’m having a mid life crises.
This last week has been a ‘fend for yourself’ kind of week. We ate all of the freezer meals I had been stocking up on and bought take out sushi twice. Blew the budget and meal plan goals all in one go.
But I did get our little website up and running. Thank goodness. Yay me! It was a long week spent in my pj’s, drinking way too much coffee and munching trail mix. Next time (please don’t ket there be a next time) I’m hiring someone else.
This weeks meal plan is all about making up for the lack of veggies over the past few days. I bought a HUGE bag of fresh spinach so it’s been popped into everything!

About the CEWK Meal Plans
- Sunday is my Meal Planning Day so I will work hard to regularly post my Meal plans on the Blog on Sunday night. You can read more about how I meal plan here.
- I pack lunches for the family Monday to Friday and use my Mix and Match Lunchbox Planner to make this a little easier (you can get it for Free here).
- I bake once or twice a week to keep stocked up on school lunchbox treats and after school snacks.
- I don’t exclude any particular food groups, but I do limit sugar and dairy when possible as my eldest daughter is lactose intolerant.
- I cook from scratch as much as I can but I do take a few shortcuts and try to keep prep time to a minimum (preferably under 30 minutes).
- My recipes start with whole, real food ingredients.
- We are a real family, so there are often family favorites that I cook again from week to week.
- I haven’t included links to all the recipes on this page (because that would be a long, long post), but you can find all recipes on the Blog by typing in the search bar.

Clean Eating Family Meal Plan #15
MONDAY
Vegetable Lasagne– The difference between this vegetable lasagne and many of the others I have tried, is that the kids will actually eat it. I used cottage cheese in place of ricotta (simply because it’s a lot cheaper) and it works just as well. If your kids are fussy and you aren’t sure about trying this recipe, I recommend using a blender to smooth out the tomato and vegetable layer. It’s not as pretty, but it works.

TUESDAY
Green Smoothie – Easiest way to get your kids to eat/drink spinach. Just don’t let them watch you make it – it’s got a lot on spinach in it! Fussy kids can get a little freaked out :)

WEDNESDAY
Chicken Cacciatore – One of our family favorites. I use a bottled pasta sauce and cut my chicken into smaller pieces to speed things up during the week.

THURSDAY
Carrot Muffins – Classic, healthy muffin that works great in lunchboxes or a grab and go breakfast.

FRIDAY
Homemade Hamburgers – I keep beef patties simple. Beef mince, salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. USe your hands to make a little ball then flatten and cook. The best beef patties are cooked on a hot grill, so we use our Baby Webber for this. Finish it off with a creamy (super easy) mushroom sauce.

SATURDAY
Foil Pack Chicken and Vegetable Parcels – I’m still crushing on foil packet dinners. I think it’s the minimal clean up bit that wins me over.
