Kayla’s meal plan
GAPS friendly, dairy-free option, nightshade free, egg-free option, nut-free option, AIP option
I do a lot of pre-prep on weekends to make my weekday cooking much easier. I’ve got into a routine where I’ll spend about 4 hours cooking on the weekend and all the below meals are a breeze.
We’re also on a budget so all our meals are cheap and avoid waste. You’ll notice I also use a lot of the same ingredients so sorry if you get bored of pumpkin (or turn orange!). I’m not sure about meat costs overseas but here in New Zealand, mince, chicken drumsticks and whole chickens are most economical so I tend to use those, but feel free to use other cuts or vegetables to suit you!
This pre-prep takes me about 3-4 hours (apart from the slow-cooker onions, which I just leave on all day) and I do it all at once while cooking dinner at the same time. Usually I manage to make a few baked things as well but that’s another meal plan again.
I don’t measure my recipes and I cook for 2 while many of you are cooking for more; so my recipes don’t contain quantities. But most of them are so simple that quantities don’t matter!
