After a bit of inspiration/motivation, I knew that my family's meal plan needed a major overhaul. After a summer of being lazy when it comes to preparing healthy foods (and relying a bit too much on processed foods) for my family, and not feeling the best that I know I should feel, it is time to get back to basics.
Last winter and spring, I had an excellent meal plan that incorporated a lot of fresh seasonal vegetables that the kids would try and actually enjoy. Even George (my most picky eater) was eating squash, peas, and most other vegetables I prepared (it was all in how and when they were served). I will be incorporating the same meal plan anatomy that I used then. I'm confident that it will get us all back on track!
