February Meal Plan
Budget-friendly and delicious meals to get you through the month!
We’ve started off this year with an absolute bang so I really wanted to focus on EASY food this month. Last month I wanted to focus on eating more veggies on the side of things even if it was just mixed frozen veggies done in the microwave and we did that, so I’m hoping to carry that over into this month as well!

I’m a little late posting this, we’re now about a week into the meal plan but it’s here, that’s the main thing, haha.
I’ve also got a couple meals from last month’s meal plan that we kept because I planned too many last month - a great problem to have honestly.
Another thing I tried to do this month now that we’ve got a bit of a stockpile of meat and other groceries is to buy a lot more things based on what the specials were.
If you’re new here, we pick one meal to prep for lunches throughout the week and then we cook a dinner every second night and have leftovers on alternating nights. We don’t love cooking and find it quite taxing for various reasons, so this works well for us sticking to eating at home, relatively healthy food etc.
Onto the meal plan! Recipes are linked where they’re available.
Lunches
Creamy chicken, rice & veggie soup - my own recipe and one of my faves because of how easy and delicious it is!

As you can see, not a huge amount of recipes this month, we’re really focusing on keeping things nice and simple and easy. It’s already feeling like a load off my mind!
