Meal Planning Monday 5/3/10

I'm going back to the more detailed meal plan style (listing breakfasts and lunches for each specific day) because I think our meals will be more balanced each day this way. I don't have to go by it if it doesn't work out, but so often having a plan makes cooking/prepping easier. If I don't have a plan, we tend to eat the same (easiest) thing everyday. That pattern doesn't lend itself to health necessarily.

I'm hoping we'll get out and pick some strawberries this week, so I'm adding those in and we'll eat them as snacks and desserts that aren't listed. Yay for strawberries!

We're still spring cleaning, so I added those assignments for extra motivation. We got the living room done over the weekend. We'll get to Ariel's room and the dreaded kitchen next week. I also need to finish planting in the garden this week - need to put out some cucumbers and zucchini at least.
