Even though we are now 2 weeks into this now, with varying results, and variations in this menu. This is what we used as a base to start with. There is in fact more than we need for a fortnight but it allows for swap and change I think. I will be documenting what we did, what we changed and how each thing worked but for now, here is the start of our food journey.
