Weekly Meal Plan for Healthy Eating

by Elizabeth
(Healthy Eating Made Easy)

Putting together a weekly meal plan can really help you eat more healthily. Here's what we'll be eating for the next five days:


Monday - Baked mushrooms - use 2 of the big, flat Portabella mushrooms, wipe and place on a lightly oiled baking tray. Put 1 tsp of pesto in the centre of each mushroom and bake in a moderate oven until the mushrooms are cooked through - about 30 mins. Serve with boiled wholegrain rice, a simple tomato sauce - see our Deeply Delicious Tomato Sauce - and a salad.

Tuesday - Make homemade ratatouille and either serve as a pasta sauce, or use it to make a lasagne - use skim milk to make the bechamel sauce to go in between the layers. Serve with salad. Save some ratatouille for tomorrow night's meal.

Wednesday - Buy good quality sausagemeat that has a high proportion of meat and shape into little patties. Bake in the oven until brown and serve with mashed potatoes, steamed brussel sprouts and ratatouille from last night.

Thursday - Cauliflower cheese (make the sauce with skimmed milk, and use full-flavour mature Cheddar - that way you won't need to use so much). Baked tomatoes and baked potatoes.

Friday - Fast Cooked Herby Fish, new potatoes and broccoli.
