A weeks worth of food!

This weekend we have been a little indulgent with our eating, afterall we are still 'Technically' on holidays till Monday :0D
On saturday we had Eggs benedict for brunch...this was D.E.V.I.N.E. 
I also made my dear husband his favorite...lemon meringue pie, but instead of one big one i made mini ones, just so he can portion it over the week end LOL.  He was one happy boy.
Anyway, I plan to do a blog post on these next.

Today however, I must admit I was in total BLISS.  My day started with a sleep in, then my husband woke me up saying that friends of ours have asked if our kids could come over for a play date.  My husband got them ready and they were out within the hour.  I got up had a cuppa tea with some toast, watched a bit of tv. 
After Breakfast I decided to do a bit of cooking.
Since being away, and the weeks leading up to our holiday I have been a little disorganised and have been on a bit of a crazy thing with money...which i hate.

So, today I decided enoughs enough! 
While away my husband and I decided to lose a little weight & just generally get healthy leading up to summer.
He made one point that I need to make him lunch everyday for work.  He said this because I can be a little lax in this area at times.
So today I got very organised.  I was going to do a large shop this week and stock up on food items but instead i thought I will use stuff i already have and see if we can live on this.
So far already I have made ...

* I made 10 chicken sandwhiches on multigrain bread for my husband (2 sandwhiches a day).  Ive pre-made them and are frozen in the freezer.  Each morning I will take them out and by lunch they will be fresh and ok.
*10 ham sandwhiches on mutligrain.  One each day for each child, each day of school. (also frozen)
*Banana Cake...sliced up into 15 pieces, frozen in individual bags.  This for one each day...husband, son, daughter.
*Carrot cake, also frozen to be eaten for afternoon tea or snacks.
*I portioned up crackers and cheese into individual bags for snacks at school & work.
*I made a ministrone type soup with leftover veges that were on their way out and I had a tin of Cannelloni Beans & tomatoes ...turned out quite good.  This will hopefully do dinner for 2 nights next week.
*I also put on a sausage caserole for tonights dinner...I put this with polenta and brocolli...the kids loved it!!
*Air popped pop corn, also portioned into little bags for each day of the week for each family member to munch on.
*A Loaf of bread.

I think this should do us for most of next week. I feel quite proud of myself.  Now I just got to put myself to bed and sleep as I plan on getting up at 5 (yes, FIVE) am...to go to the gym.
I feel so great tonight.  I find its amazing what a little organisation does...here's hoping i can stick to it each week.
Nitey Nite my friends...xoxo
