So, I didn’t do so well the last half of 2010 in my meal planning and guess what? My grocery budget slowly increased. Needless to say, I will be getting back to it this week! Below are just some things I pulled together according to what I already had on hand. I am going to make a small trip later in the week for produce and milk. I slid a little in the “being healthy” department, so we are getting back on track to healthier meals too!

Kelly, first thank you for your meal planning section, it really helps me! Thanks too for the free downloadable meal planning form. Secondly, I really appreciate your honesty when you post things like…”we didn’t do so well at menu planning this week/month etc.” It makes me understand and remember I’m normal(most of the time:)
