Meal Planning.....

Meal planning is one of the best methods my family has for saving money, sticking to our budget and eating healthy.  We are fortunate that my hubby and I will eat most anything (thus the reason we are both overweight!!) and we are trying to set good examples for our son.  So, here we go:

I meal plan every weekend and then grocery shop based on the meal plan.  It helps us keep our eating out to a minimum and stick to the schedule which, for a busy family is vital.

This weeks meal plan is:

Saturday: Burgers (no buns just burgers) and Mac/Cheese (yes, its the box kind...with broccoli snuck in!)

Sunday: Tuna Noodle Casserole (dinner)
          Breakfast is Egg Puffs for DJ and Mommy.
           
Monday: Grilled Tilapia and steamed veggies

Tues:  Spaghetti

Wed: Black bean/Rice with Cheese Quesadillas

Thurs: Brats/Baked Beans

Friday: Ham--with something (probably steamed veggies)


Have a great week- Goal for the week is 14 miles met last weeks goal of 12 miles!!
