I have my brother, and his wife and 2 kids coming to visit for a week on Saturday, and I'm wondering how I'm going to manage. Either way I think it's going to cost me a fortune to feed us all. If I cook SW meals for us all, that's an AWFUL lot of fresh fruit and veg (there will be 4 adults and 5 kids), plus all the meats and stuff, but if I cook seperate meals, it will still be expensive, and I fear, bad for me because if it's in the house, I may be tempted to eat it.
We also have days out planned, and I'm panicking over how and what I will eat while we're out. Some places have cafe's, but others will be mostly fast food stalls. Packed lunches are an option for some places, but not others. Also my brother wants to get a take away the night they get here, I told him I'd cook a curry instead of getting a chinese, but he joked that home made isn't the same.
While I am super excited at them coming up (I haven't seen them since my wedding in October) I really want to stay on plan as much as I can.
Any tips and ideas for dealing with family visits and days out?
