I did promise this. I didn't forget. We've just gotten back from a wonderfully blissful stress-free vacation (to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary coming up in a couple of weeks). Now I can get back to work with renewed vigor and focus!
Challenge #1 - Devise a menu plan
I need this challenge too! I do it, but I always need new motivation and focus. Whether it be dinner, or all 3 meals. Whether it be for
one week at a time or 4 weeks at a time. If you don't already have a
plan, get one! I'm telling you, I have never been consistent with menu planning.
Obviously that is not ideal. But since I've been doing one,
wow, do things go more smoothly! Much less stress and last minute standing
at the pantry wondering what I will make tonight.
If
you do have a plan, does it work? Is there something that you can do to
change it to meet your needs better? There are some meal planning
templates over at Money Saving Mom, http://moneysavingmom.com/downloads/meal-menu-planners,
that I have found helpful. There are so many options, I am sure you
will find one that will work for you.
My goal is to have one month planned at a time, but I've been working up to that. I have been doing 2 1/2 weeks. (Because I originally started when a particular month had 2 1/2 weeks left.) I think I am going to try for one month this time. I will report back.
Now get to work! There are many, many wonderful blogs that have wonderful dinner recipe ideas. I, of course, lean towards the whole foods blogs. If you desire to start making some healthy changes, check out these websites for recipes. You will find many great ideas...
