Having finally realized with my husband that we are indeed going to have a baby in our hands in some 6 months time, we freaked.
So now we have entered a new time of food budgeting. Gone are the days of running to the Chinese restaurant for Singapore rice for him and caramel shortbread from Starbucks for me. It’s all about meal planning and saving money (that £799 pushchair is not gonna pay for itself).
So, in a sharing spirit, here are the meals for this week. Hope someone finds them enjoyable and useful!
Japanese day, inspired by my daily lunch at work and the fact that I want my husband to warm up to Japanese cuisine
Italian day 1, a classic
Italian day 2, because a pregnant lady needs spinach
Filipino day, I don’t know what a pancit is, but it looks interesting
Mexican day
Chinese day
- Chinese cucumber salad (I’m thinking of making it less authentic and add some cheese)
British day, because my husband is obsessed with corned beef and I want to get rid of the thing
- Oven baked corned beef hash, apparently Cheddar cheese improves this recipe a lot.
