Dose any1 have any weekly meal plan ideas for a single parent with 1 3yr old?

I need to plan all meals, breakfast, lunch and tea for seven days for myself and my 3 yr old son, i also sometimes cook for 4 or 5 of his mates in the evening about once or twice a week. Plus we don't eat any pork products, but we do eat everything else. Any ideas will be appreciated, Thank YouDose any1 have any weekly meal plan ideas for a single parent with 1 3yr old?
day one - Fish fingers beans and potatoes


day 2- spag bol


day 3 -sausages beef )potatoes and veg


day4 - cottage pie potatoes ,veg


day5-breaded chicken potatoes,veg


day6 -pasta and chicken in sauce like chicken tonight country french with extra peppers


day7-pizza and chips





breakfast - toast ,cereal,jam fine for kids one day could be scrambled egg


lunches soup,sandwiches,beans on toast,pasta,hotdogs











When i'm doing my shopping i write the menu down what i want to do for a week and work out what i need for recipes etc everything is covered and i try to stick to what ive bought if i get sidetracked i find some food gets wasted.


Try to think of 7 meals you and your son enjoy meals i suggested like fishfingers the packs can be up to 40 fishfingers so if freinds come round you have plenty for everyone.Dose any1 have any weekly meal plan ideas for a single parent with 1 3yr old?
sasauge and mash, or chips and nuggets, hot pot, you could do spag bol with pasta twists, or do a little buffet!
you can cook on a weekend all the food you like, then freeze it and label it with each day of the week and then just defrost it . or you can try frozen dinners
This is for the kids, Pasta 49p Tescos, sausages, beans.


Cook pasts, cook sausages, cook beans, chop sausages, drain pasta, throw all of it together in a saucepan done.


Rice, peas, chicken, sweetcorn


Cook a roast then slice the leftovers and freeze the rest.


Why can't you use your imagination. There are loads of cheap menu ideas out there. Research get your child involved he will love it good luck

google some 7-day meal-plans....there are hundreds....if some of them contain pork or something you don't like you can always substitute it..... Somerfields do a 7-day dinner plan in their free mags too.
