Hello lovely readers.
Last month I shared my weekly meal plans. I have found it’s helpful for me to have our meals documented for future reference. This is a new lifestyle for me and my family to stay on track with eating healthy. Each weekend I cook up all of our meals for the week and prepare the snacks that I planned to have. We eat 6 small (portion size) meals a day consisting of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 3 little snacks in between. We also drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Let me share what I have planned for the month of September. Here is the menu:
