A Totally Boring Post

I'm afraid this post is going to be totally boring, completely practical and absolutely unoriginal!

I need to get groceries this afternoon, so rather than doing a meal plan (which I do every week anyway) AND a blog post, I'm going to follow Eilleen's lead and just do an online meal plan!

Now due to our Biomedical Program, we have a cooked lunch and dinner everyday, so my meal plan tends to be a bit longer than most peoples are as I have to actually make a proper plan for lunches!

Saturday
Lunch - Lamb Cutlets & Pesto Quinoa
Dinner - Chicken Tenders (maybe battered??) & Vegies

Sunday
Lunch - Diced Chicken and Quinoa
Dinner - Lamb Steak & Vegies

Monday
Lunch - Chicken Sausages & Quinoa
Dinner - Chicken & Vegie Soup (cooked in the slow cooker)

Tuesday
Lunch - Lamb Steaks & Quinoa
Dinner - Roast Lamb

Wednesday
Lunch - leftover Roast Lamb & Quinoa
Dinner - remaining leftover RoastLamb & Vegies

Thursday
Lunch - Lamb Steaks & Quinoa
Dinner - Shperherds Pie

Friday
Lunch - Chicken Sausages & Quinoa
Dinner - Lamb Steaks & Vegies

Extra Things:
I always make 1kg of chicken sausages per week, as well as all our other snacks and meals.

So, what do I need to buy?

Meat as always! We have to eat extremely fresh meat and cannot store it for any longer than 3 weeks in the freezer, so I do just buy my meat fresh each week - it does mean that I can't really buy in bulk, and I don't utilise my large chest freezer as well as I'd like, but these are just things I have had to accept. And of course we can only eat lamb or chicken...

Vegies - I am due to get my fortnightly organic vegies delivered next week, so my order needs to be in by Saturday night.

Just a few grocery items - most we buy direct from our Biochemists' store, but the local supermarket does have some things we need.

So here's my grocery list:
MEAT
Lamb Cutlets
Chicken Tenders x 1.5kg
Chicken Breasts x 1kg
Lamb Steaks x 2kgs
Roast Lamb x 1 large (around 2.5kgs if possible)
Lamb to mince x 750g
OTHER SUPERMARKET
Tissues
Zip Lock Bags (I hate these, but this is what Kindy are asking lunches be provided in so I use 2/week)
Garlic Salt

ORGANICS DELIVERY
Macadamia Nuts
Sweet Potato
Swede or Turnip
Choko
Shallots
Carrots
Green Beans
Chinese Cabbage
Brussels Sprouts
Pumpkin

And I think that's about it. This weeks shop will be my more expensive of the fortnight as I am getting my vegies this week.
