Look at the week first
Consider who will be at home and which days will be busiest. Choose a few meals your family already likes. Check cupboards before shopping and note what you already have. Share preparation, cooking and cleaning rather than leaving the whole process to one person.
A smaller plan is an option too
Keep a simpler option for a busy day. This is not an infant feeding programme or a special diet. Follow official food-safety guidance relevant to your needs for preparation, allergens and storage. A weekly plan that does not work can be changed next time.
Your next little step
Choose one idea that suits your family and try it at your own pace. Every family has different needs.
