This week is the start of some people’s summer holidays. It’s a difficult time for so many. With added stresses that it brings. Being organised and having a little bit of a plan is the only way to make this a great time, not break the bank and not have everyone coming down with colds and the miseries. Organic meals and snacks can keep everyone feeling satisfied, healthy and happy. It’s worth the work and is actually very easy and quick if you do have some sort of game plan. It doesn’t have to be written in stone but with a flexible timetable for the week you’ll reach the end feeling way more in control and relaxed.I like to make things that I can reheat and mix and match for the fridge with salads, snacks and treats ready to go. A few labels with days/names or similar will help the process.Menu ideasBaked eggs with spinach or chard.
