When we interviewed celebrity mom of three, Chariz Solomon, she told us she had one question she asked herself every day. “Anong ulam?” She even put up a Facebook group because she was running out of ideas for her family meals!
We want to help, too and asked Roselle Miranda, the food editor of Yummy.ph, to help us with meal planning for a week. It’s designed for a family of four with a budget of P1,500* that covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner from Monday to Sunday!
SmartParenting.com.ph hopes this meal plan helps when you can’t think of anything to prepare and cook. Happy eating!
By the way, we also did a meal plan with a budget of P2,000 for one week, which you can check out here.
