I’ve been saying for ages about how October is our manic month, and this week is where it starts to go all sorts of crazy! My parents are coming up on the weekend and staying for two nights, so there are two extra adults to factor into the meal planning. Nobody wants to be standing around cooking for hours, so I’ve gone for some slow cooker favourites – perfect for tucking into after a walk on the beach with the dogs!

This week’s meal plan

Steak and mushroom pie, mash & veg

Cheesy broccoli and cauliflower bake

Chicken roast dinner

Chicken fajitas

Pulled pork, crusty bread, and wedges

Chicken curry and rice
