Dinner ideas

This is our monthly dinner menu (2 adults 2 children and 1 baby)

My son loves beef stroganoff so I wanted it on the menu twice but I could do with another meal as I have it down 3 Thursdays in a row 🙈

Any suggestions that we don't already have on the plan would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽

How old is baby? Under 1s shouldn’t have honey, even if cooked due to the risk of botulism

Baby is 4 months old, he's not eating anything yet lol

This all sounds amazing! You can do homemade pizza! Or some other kind of pasta like chicken Alfredo.

No help here. I need to be this organised!!

it took a while to come up with it all but it's made our lives so much easier honestly! And the variety means we never get bored 🤭

Chicken & chorizo gnocchi or sausage & leek gnocchi

yeah I need to do this. I’m a last minute person and I’m trying not to be! Love a spreadsheet at work, need to incorporate that love into my personal life 🤣

just wanted to check as so many people think it’s ok if it’s cooked.

Chilli always goes down well in our house and there’s normally left overs for lunches or a freezer stash too. I mixe the kids with some yoghurt to tame down the spice a bit if needed

What’s your beef stroganoff recipe?

Avatar

I’m curious as well!

Avatar

it's okay, it's better to say it anyway as someone reading the comments might not have known that 😊

I've actually never done chilli so I'll give it a go and see if everyone likes it 🥰 thank you!

Avatar

I'll message it to you both, I don't like sour cream personally so I use Greek yoghurt with double cream but feel free to use sour cream if you'd prefer

Avatar

ooo I wouldn’t mind the recipe too if that’s okay ?

Avatar

I look forward to seeing it!

Sent to everyone 🤭 I highly recommend using chatgpt to adjust the amounts for your family size if needed as I make quite big batches so Hubby can eat a big portion and then take some to work the next day for lunch 💕

Have you checked out the batch lady she has some great recipe ideas for families

Avatar

This is niceeeee. I shall copy this. Thank you so much for sharing.

Avatar

Avatar

nooo I'll check her out now, I hadn't heard of her before thank you!

My kids love this cheesey spinach dip chicken pasta, I found the recipe online. And can message you the recipe

This is organization goals! I do a weekly menu but have never sat down and laid it out for the month. We have pizza once a week (usually frozen) which could be a nice break fror you from cooking. I am vegetarian and like to make a lot of quinoa salads with beans and herbs in the summer, you could try that and add grilled chicken!

Love it! 👍❤️

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?
