Welcome! For those of you who are new to Meal Planning, be sure to check out my “Meal Planning” tab here for easy tips on getting started – there are lots of great resources here.
I had a great opportunity to stock up this week with my trips to Kroger and Harris Teeter triples. Right now is also a good time to start stocking up on strawberries for things like smoothies, strawberry pies and more, because they are at very low prices right now, as low as $.99/carton in some stores.
You are seeing burgers and lots of grill items on my meal planning; this week it’s burgers, grilled chicken and fish!
