Hey guys,
One important thing to think about when you are vegan is to plan your meals ahead.
It's important even if you are not vegan in order to stay on budget and make the most out of your meals.
I always plan for the new week on Saturdays or Fridays and then we go to the store on either Saturday or Sunday.
Since I'm playing home wife for now (read voluntary unemployed) I'm the one cooking all the food at home.
So the dinners I make will also be the lunch we eat the next day. I also try to make one of the meals into a bigger one so we have that for two lunches. This allows me to always have an extra lunchbox if needed.
I have started to use the www.plantmealplanner.co by High Carb Hanna and I love how easy it is to work with.
You just add the meals you want to try to your planner and then you can generate your shopping list.
Her meals are optimized for weight loss but I think they work well for me too, I don't need to lose weight :D
This is all the groceries we bought for the week
It's a great feeling not needing to go to the store multiple times a week. Just one 30 min shopping and we are done.
This haul above cost us a little over 70 euros and took 30 minutes in the store, and this photo does not include the 1,2 kilos of frozen cauliflower, edamame beans, and blueberries we bought.
Oh, and if you wonder about the plastic bags, I KNOW. But we are good and recycle, plus Sweden burns 98% of all its trash and turns it into environmentally friendly heat and electricity. I feel I need to make a post by itself just to explain the need of these bags :D
Anyway yesterday I made a vegan tuna salad, using chickpeas, and we had the same thing for lunch today.
vegan tuna salad, tasted a little fishy ;D
This morning we had baked apple pie porridge, this one takes ALOT of time to make so I'm lucky I don't have a job to go to :D. 10 minutes prep and 35 minutes in the oven.
