One week of food, week 1. On budgeting and meal planning

A can of corned beef.

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

British day, because my husband is obsessed with corned beef and I want to get rid of the thing
