I am totally excited! One of my big goals for the rest of the year is monthly meal plans. It helps me save money, not let food last in my freezer and pantry too long and ideally makes my life easier. The hardest thing to figure out is how many leftovers I will have and right now what to do without an oven. You will that I've left out a lot of side dishes. Those will be other decided one week or two weeks in advance. I'm sort of hoping we get our oven up and running so I can have a few more options. I'll also be including hyper links to recipes each week and lastly I'll include a report of what we actually eat along with my planned workouts and what I actually do. Not everything is 21 Day Fix approved and frankly I probably won't be eating everything here. This is what my family will be eating and sometimes I'll just be eating a salad or more leftovers. I always like to factor in something that's easy for the boys to take to school or leftovers which is why you'll see pasta at least once a week.
