As part of my new years goals, I want to eat healthier, eat out less, and have a better schedule of food. That being said, this week was the first week in about a year that I have planned out our meals for this week. I was able to get everything but the seafood for the entire week and am already noticing a difference in this house's food eating.

We are, of course, eating healthier; but I think we are also eating more and with fewer calories! It has also helped our family get on more normal eating schedule. This is a super big deal!

The best part is that the whole meal planning only took about 30-minutes and I was able to get everything for the next week in under 15-minutes from the grocery store. We have also saved time on running out to get food daily and just trying to figure out what to eat.

Since this is new and exciting to me, I thought I might share our meals this week with you. Each day we are eating 5-6 meals, three being larger and two being snacks. Sometimes there is also a dessert involved. For me, that is usually cereal since I could eat cereal for eternity and be happy!

Of course, it is not completely healthy or 100% homemade yet, but that would be a fantastic final goal!
