My Family Meal Plan - September 16-29, 2011




Keeping on the topic of Meal Planning Madness, I would like to share my meal plan for our current pay-period. As I had previously mentioned, I shop bi-weekly and plan our meals in 2 week blocks. I do not follow a particular order, and my meal ideas are "basic" and I almost always add a few extra twists to make it unique every time.

I have discovered over time that you do not have to follow a recipe exactly. I make substitutions, and omissions based on what my family likes and doesn't like. My 6 year old Nikolas - his tastes change weekly. Just this week he decided that he LIKES eggs now - after 5+ years of making eggs every which way imaginable. He also has a new found appreciation for Tacos!! (the soft kind only however) I am excited to share my meals with you all.
