Meal Plan - Week 1

Since Thursday is our shopping day I thought I'd do my meal plan to start on Thursday and finish on Wednesday. So here is next weeks starting tomorrow. I am going to use my Bellini for all my dinner meals and also for all the "treats" for the kids. This weekend I also have a birthday party for the boys happening so have listed a rough list of what I am making for that too - which isn't too much since it's an outdoor venue and the kids will be flat out playing!

Birthday Party baking

Too easy chocolate cake - I am planning on make a three tier cake with chocolate buttercream icing, and then just having some "Minecraft" Figurines on top.
Little sandwiches - egg and lettuce, ham, cheese and tomato etc
Home made Biscuits - as per baking list below
Cheese & Bacon Balls & various Chips
Fruit platter with fruit kebabs
Grown up platter with cheese / dip / crackers / cabanossi etc.
Zooper coopers which will be frozen and in the esky
10L water cooler for drinks

Since we are in Darwin and the party is at an outdoor venue it is a bit hard to cater with cooked food - so i think finger food will suffice. The kids will be too busy playing anyhow as there is a big waterside they just love, and also a wadding pool for the little ones.


Baking/treats
40 second biscuits
ANZAC biscuits
Choc Chic biscuits
Apple Pie and custard
Banana Bread
Soft butter rolls
Easy bread

Hopefully I will have time to bake all the above as I really want to get more treats in there for the kids. I will freeze some of the biscuits in zip lock bags ready for school lunch boxes, and the rest will be at the boys party ready for the kids to snack on. The kids absolutely adore apple pie so I promised them i'd make that for them when I got the chance.
