REAL FOOD Weekly Meal Plan

June 10, 2013

The last day of school is Wednesday - YAY! The beginning of the week is pretty busy with end of the year parties for kids and adults. We are still in baseball with hopes to finish playoffs this week if the rain stays away. I also want to go strawberry picking this week, so we will need easy meals that I can throw together in no time. I seriously have no idea how I would do it if I didn't create a meal plan every week.

REAL FOOD Weekly Meal Plan

Monday: It's my birthday! I have no idea what we will have for dinner but I do know that I WILL NOT be cooking it.

Tuesday: Another rainy day so Chicken Tortilla Soup is on the dinner menu

Wednesday: Hopefully there will be a baseball game so we need something quick. Grilled Sausage and Peppers will be an easy dinner. I can prepare all the peppers and onions before hand.

Thursday: Chicken Empanadas served with salad

Friday: Shrimp and Vegetable Stir fry with noodles

Saturday: Camping with friends so we will work together on dinner. I love making Chili ahead of time and then serving it with quesadillas

Sunday: It's Father's Day and with just coming home from camping we will order take out - hubby's choice

Changes In Our Food System

June 6, 2013

The first time I watched the movie FOOD INC was over 2 years ago. It was a life changing moment. I always had been health conscious, researched foods and the benefits of good foods but I didn't educate myself fully on all the toxins hidden in the foods we eat. After seeing how our food system has changed since the late 80’s because of Monsanto it made me realize that we are slowly killing ourselves without recognizing that we are doing anything wrong.

Monsanto created this great little gene...

REAL FOOD: Weekly Meal Plan

June 3, 2013

It's been a few weeks since I've done a meal plan. With the Memorial Day holiday, traveling and just plain being over extended it's been challenging to stay up with posting my meal plans....but I've still done them. For me meal planning continues to keep me organized throughout the week, saves me money at the grocery store and keeps our family healthier because we are eating fresh cooked meals. This is what we are planning for this week.....I'd love for you to share your meal planning secrets...

Even though it's not officially summer it sure feels like it outside. As parents we are trying out best to keep everyone happy and cool throughout these hot "almost" summer days. Who doesn't playing in the water? Water play with kids can be a inexpensive way to stay cool and have fun. With having 2 very active young boys I've had my challenges in this department. Here is what works for me.....
