ok, I planned extra meals this time because the kids had fall break and were home all day so I thought I might need extra meals and I wanted to have some flexibility with our schedule getting increasingly hectic with all the kids activities. These are in no particular order. You will notice I use a lot of the same ingredients repeatedly in the menu plan so I make sure to use all the produce up and less goe to waste and it also makes shopping easier and cheaper buying fewer ingredients. This plan has a lot of spinach, mustard, squashes and rice. Which are also perfect for fall weather!
