It’s been awhile since I’ve put up a menu plan post (or any post for that matter). I’m big on menu plans in order to help me keep organized and get nutrient dense, whole foods on the table but a couple of weeks in early March I was really WILD and didn’t do a menu plan at all. It’s a miracle we ate. With the way that I cook, planning and prep are sometimes necessary. I discovered that my short walk on the wild side didn’t work for me. So I’m back to menu planning (I plan an entire month at a time which helps with our food budget). I do not plan lunches during the week since it is just the baby and me at home and we either have leftovers or scrounge something up. The girls eat at school for ‘social reasons’ and Joe eats at the school where he works. Of course, after watching Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution I really wish they would all take a packed lunch. Eating at school is definitely a compromise situation.
