Day 2: Plan your meals; 20 minutes now will save hours over the next 4 weeks. Grab yourself 3 sheets of paper and a pen, or phone / laptop / computer. On the first page list the ingredients that you and your partner or family have got to avoid, or choose not to eat. On page two list the foods and meals that you all already enjoy, or would like to try, that don’t include those ingredients. Refer to your diary or family organiser, recipe books and online resources and plan main meals and snacks for each day or week for the next 4 weeks. Doesn’t have to be exact and of course you will need to be flexible as plans change. Divide page 3 into two columns. In column 1 list the store cupboard basics for you to buy now. In column 2 list the fresh foods to be purchased for each week. Stick your plan on the kitchen wall, sit back and relax and realise how satisfied it feels not to have to decide what you are all going to eat for the next 4 weeks!
