Okay better now, but needless to say, there were not many meals made from my plan. The food was here, but since I didn't prep everything or remember to take anything out the night before, we ate mainly quick home stuff and lots of bad for you take out. You know when your teenagers complain about the lack of greenery in the meal, you need to make a change.
I'm chopping up lots and lots of lettuce today, so each meal will be accompanied by a salad and hopefully a veggie too.
Have a great week and if you are short on ideas head over to orgjunkie.com for lots of inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by today :)
