I’ll be having my Kitchen Prep Day on Tuesday, so stay tuned for more! I know you might see a lot of the same sides each night, that is because I make it a goal to eat a salad at a minimum of 4 nights a week. I truly believe that at least half of our meal must be vegetables, which I know I can attempt by serving a large salad each night! I just switch it up each week depending on what vegetables are on sale each week.

Thanks so much for the menu making tips. I’ve started into couponing and trying to save money, as I have a family of 6, and it’s kinda overwhelming! I’m going to use your template and launch my menu planning this week!
