Weekly Meal Planner Recipe

So next on my blog agenda is to share a recipe each week to go along with your DYO Magnetic Family Meal Planner....have you got yours yet??

The Meal Planner is divided up into colour coded meat categories (beef, lamb, veal, chicken, pork/bacon, vegetarian, seafood/tuna) and meal categories (stir-fry, casserole, pasta, bakes, curry, salad, pies, risotto, meat&veg, kid friendly). The idea behind the planner meals is they are all meals you probably already prepare for your family, find a range of recipes easily for or in some cases can buy the meal already prepared for you to take out of the freezer and put in the oven!

So I will start with something easy (even I can do it!)....from a great site Go for 2 & 5
