Menu Planning


After 2 months of fun filled summer vacations, now we are back to our normal routine. Also with this, I am stuck on what to cook for my daughter's school lunch? I really get upset when she brings back her box full of leftovers.

Finding good and interesting menu which also has good nutritional value is really an enormous task. And on the top of it, my daughter is fussy and slow eater. She loves color and varieties in her tiffin box.

I often feel stuck when it comes to my daughter's school lunch. To make this task easier, I plan a whole month menu which is quick to prepare and healthy to eat.

Below is the sample of the menu which I am following this month.


Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 5
Day 6
Week 1
Mixed Veg Cutlet Aloo Paratha Veg. Pulao Rava Halwa Poha

Week 3

Week 4

Hope this will help you too.
Please share more tiffin ideas which I can also include in my next month menu plan.
