Another Meal Plan

So I was talking with a friend and thought it would be a great idea to post my meal plans. This is what I use to plan my food for the day, exercise and any extra things I have going on. This is the best way for me to have all that I need in one place.

Works for me.

I have a lot of food that is excess from the previous week so I just carry that over and try to work it in so it doesn't go to waste. This week I happen to have a lot of produce from last week and some staples like rice, bread and meats. Along with this meal plan I will list my grocery list so you can see what I typically buy. There are always things on the list that aren't normally there (diapers, batteries, lightbulbs) but I try to only buy what I need.

I also try to bake something totally bad but so good for Austin so he has something to munch on while he's working away. This week I'm making Skinny Double Chocolate Chip Muffins from Sallys Baking Addiction (I already have all the ingredients from the last time I made them) and Soft M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies from Averie Cooks (I only need M&m's). Both recipes I got from amazing ladies who posted to their blogs. I highly recommend them!

I usually grocery shop like this every two weeks and on the off weeks it will just be a few produce items so maybe $40. This is great if you're trying to budget shop too. Healthy for you and your bank account!

You can use my same format, change it to suite your needs or do something different. I will try to make this downloadable in the future. Enjoy!

Thanks for reading.
