Deciding what to have to eat every day is actually pretty hard. Trying to plan a whole week menu that is fun, tasty, affordable, and easy? That can feel like a full-time job in itself.

Especially as a graduate. Gone are the days when buttered toast for breakfast, a Tesco meal deal for lunch (those at UoL will get it), and pesto pasta or an oven pizza for tea was acceptable… every single night.

(To be fair, we were students on a budget – so who could blame us?)

But now, even though we’re still – if not, even more so – watching the pennies and looking for quick, easy, and delicious ideas… Being a so-called adult means we have to think about other things too. Is this healthy? What can I afford that actually tastes good? What is an appropriate option that actually fits into our “grown-up” lives?

See? HARD.

The good news is you’re in the right place.
