Meal Plan for September 13-27




Since we last talked life has changed a little. (Again) When the heck is life not changing, right?! Jobs have been rearranged, again, and we are adjusting to a new schedule, again. Change is good. <3

This post I wanted to dedicate to sharing with you all our menu for two weeks and share some of our meal planning. I love when people share their meal ideas because I am always looking for new ones!

We love whole foods in this family, we love nourishing foods in this family, we love to stay on budget in this family and we love quick meals that meet all these requirements in our family. I am learning to love my crock pot since three days of the week I get off at 5:00 and Ollie wants dinner at 5. Aye!


This is what my meal planning looks like. Nothing fancy. Writing down ideas over giving Ollie lunch and mixing his FCLO. 

So here we go:
