I love food and I enjoy cooking but I must admit I’m not the best at presentation. Ironically since becoming a parent I cook less but graciously Hubby pulls up the slack. Since I come from Trinidad, I thought I’d share some recipes and ideas for Trinidadian cooking.
In a quest to resume cooking more for my family I thought I’d join my fellow bloggers from the Multicultural Kids Blog network and write a Meal Plan Monday post. Immediately, I can see the benefits: reduction of grocery shopping stress; less wastage; and a more balanced diet for the family.
Below are the meals for the week starting 21st October ending on the Friday. I’ve borrowed a few recipes I’ve borrowed from Trini Gourmet (THANKS Sarina!)

I love this meal plan – I’m pinning it now so I can try some of the recipes!
Great Jody let me know how it goes. Will you be posting a meal plan as well. Love love to know what you prepare.
Wonderful meal plan, and like how she simplified it with the chart. Doesn’t look so overwhelming. 😉
Wonderful meal plan! And I loved the chart too
