May Meal Plan

Don't know about you but I love having a month ahead menu list. I try to go to Costco only once a month so this way I know what amounts I need of things, and can plan and hopefully save better. Lately my food bills have been skyrocketing, all three children at home eating thousands of calories a day adds up. Between one working at a physical job, another going to the gym four days a week after school and the other trying to gain weight, suddenly we are always out of things that used to last a week, but no complaints! I'm grateful to be able to provide healthy food for them and grateful they all want to be healthy. Really grateful for that!

I made the mistake of sending my boys to the store to get some things for me, and they returned with that plus a bunch of junk food. "Gotta keep our calorie counts up," I heard. Yeah. So, off I go to replenish and refuel with a little more nourishing choices.
